Sheeran most downloaded artist in the UK
Other | Monday 17th September 2012 | Osh
The UK has recently clocked in at second for number of illegal album downloads worldwide and like in the Olympics, we have been usurped by the Yanks.
While the States have named Drake as their favourite artist to rip off, we have given the honour to none other but homegrown, Ed Sheeran. It is an honour that is bitter sweet, as the artist, are you flattered that people are listening to your music or offended because obviously no one is willing to pay for it? But little Sheeran is not one to wallow in self-pity saying that "it is all relative", and as long as people are coming to his gigs he can still make a living.
Well Ed, we are glad, but really, with over 55,000 ripped albums at £8 each, you would start to really miss that £440,000 difference in sales would you not?
