Chart Watch: Ed Sheeran's Transatlantic #1
By Paul Grein, Yahoo! Chart Watch
Ed Sheeran's sophomore album, x, debuts at #1 in both the U.S. and the U.K. this week. Sheeran is the first British male solo artist to send an album to #1 in both the U.S. and the U.K. in more than 20 years. The last to do it was Eric Clapton, who scored with From The Cradle in September 1994 (when Sheeran was just three years old).
Seven other British male solo artists have sent albums to #1 in both the U.S. and the U.K. Elton John (with whom Sheeran performed “The A Team” at the Grammys in February 2013) has done it with four different albums, more than anyone else. He scored in 1973-1974 with Don’t Shoot Me—I’m Only The Piano Player, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Caribou and Greatest Hits.
John Lennon and Phil Collins have each had two transatlantic #1 albums. George Harrison, Rod Stewart, Paul McCartney and George Michael have each had one. (McCartney had two more with his group, Wings. Michael had one more with his duo, Wham!).
