Ed Sheeran<\/strong> has scored his eighth #1 album<\/a> in his native U.K. \u2014 with a record that’s been out since September 2024.<\/p>\n

The album, +\u2013=\u00f7\u00d7 [Mathematics] (Tour Collection)<\/em><\/a>,<\/em> features Ed’s biggest hits from his “Mathematics” series of albums \u2014 Plus, Multiply, Divide, Equals<\/em> and Subtract<\/em> \u2014 as well as some of his singles from his 2019 album No. 6 Collaborations Project.<\/em> It also includes live recordings captured on his current Mathematics tour.<\/p>\n

The album initially reached #5 on the Official U.K. Album Chart, but when it was issued on vinyl for the first time over the holidays, it jumped to #1.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ed <\/span>wrote<\/span><\/a>\u00a0on Instagram, “<\/span>My 8th UK number one album. Thank you to everyone who streamed or bought it. What a way to cap off Mathematics, and what a way to start 2025. Feeling very very grateful. Happy new year folks, love you all<\/span>.”<\/span><\/p>\n

All of Ed’s studio albums have now reached number one in the U.K. In the U.S., he’s had four chart-topping albums.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ed had previously\u00a0<\/span>teased<\/span><\/a> 2025 as being “<\/span>a year of releasing, which i\u2019m very excited about.” Speaking to <\/span>Variety,<\/span><\/em><\/a> he described his next album as “big pop.”<\/span><\/p>\n
