Waiting almost three years to release an album paid off for Ed Sheeran. The Official Charts Company confirmed today that the singer's new album Divide is the UK's fastest-selling by a male artist ever. The album sold over 600,000 copies this week. Sheeran is also the third fastest-seller ever. But the records don't stop there. All 16 songs on Divide feature inside the Top 20, a feat that no artist has achieved before, according to The Official Charts Company.
