Ed Sheeran Popular Song Rankings [2026]

My GAitch, Ed Sheeran29rank/position

Aitch, Ed Sheeran – My G

One of the most talked-about young rappers in contemporary UK music, Aitch was born in 1999 and hails from Manchester.

He’s an artist with the skills to handle everything from serious topics to lighthearted storytelling with ease, but his 2022 release “My G,” featuring none other than Ed Sheeran, is deeply personal.

“G” refers to Aitch’s younger sister, and the song beautifully portrays his warm, protective feelings as a brother, embracing the public’s lack of understanding that can arise because she has Down syndrome with great love.

Along with the story that his sister is a big Ed Sheeran fan and a heartwarming music video that’s sure to lift your spirits, it’s a wonderful track that even those who don’t usually listen to hip-hop should definitely check out.

Autumn LeavesEd Sheeran30rank/position

Autumn Leaves – Ed Sheeran

It’s a hidden gem whose arpeggios, played on a wistful acoustic guitar, and Ed Sheeran’s savoring, heartfelt vocals strike right at the heart.

Now a global top artist and arguably the most successful singer-songwriter since the 2010s, Ed is hugely popular here in Japan as well.

This track was included as a bonus on the deluxe edition of his landmark 2011 debut album “+,” so some of you may not even have known it existed.

As mentioned, it’s a song with a quintessential early-Ed simplicity in its arrangement, yet its unforced emotion and deeply moving melody are truly remarkable—a masterpiece that doesn’t exclude any listener.

Judging by the title alone, you might mistake it for a well-known jazz standard, but it’s unmistakably an original by Ed.

It’s the kind of song you’ll want to listen to on a quiet autumn afternoon as the leaves fall—be sure to check out the lyrics, perhaps with a bilingual translation, while you’re at it.

AzizamEd Sheeran31rank/position

Ed Sheeran – Azizam (Pink Heart Video)

Ed Sheeran’s new song, by the British artist, captivates with a compelling blend of exotically tinged melodies and contemporary pop.

Its title, which means “my beloved” in Persian, heralds a fresh musical experience where traditional Persian instruments and pop are beautifully harmonized.

Released as the lead single from his eighth album, “Play,” which came out on April 4, 2025, the track features lyrics that movingly express deep love for his wife.

A surprise street performance in New Orleans on March 15, 2025, also drew attention.

This song, from a globally celebrated artist who once again proves the universality of music, is perfect for those interested in cross-cultural sounds or in search of a heartwarming love song.

Ed Sheeran – Curtains [Official Video]

Ed Sheeran, a singer-songwriter from the UK who keeps churning out hit tunes across a wide musical range—from stylish to pop— is hugely popular in Japan as well.

His track “Curtains” is his latest song.

It starts off with a ballad-like vibe, but unfolds into a bright, refreshing melody in the chorus.

The vocal line isn’t very demanding, so as long as your pronunciation and pitch are solid, you can still sound cool even without vibrato or vocal riffs.

I See FireEd Sheeran34rank/position

Ed Sheeran – I See Fire (Music Video)

A deeply moving folk ballad that beautifully captures the grand worldview of a fantasy film.

Over the gentle resonance of an acoustic guitar, Ed Sheeran sings of mountains, fire, and brotherly love, bringing the story’s scenes vividly to life.

Featured over the end credits of the 2013 epic The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, the song was written and composed by Sheeran in just one day after watching the film, and finished as a labor of love with him performing multiple instruments himself, including guitar and violin.

It enjoyed worldwide acclaim, reaching number one in New Zealand, among other achievements.

Highly recommended for those who want to immerse themselves deeply in the story and emotions, or who are seeking soothing, relaxing music.

Enjoying it alongside the film makes this gem of a track even more compelling.

Lego HouseEd Sheeran35rank/position

Ed Sheeran – Lego House [Official Music Video]

Ed Sheeran is a singer-songwriter from the United Kingdom.

I’d like to introduce a wonderful single from his 2011 album “+,” titled “Lego House.” The song portrays both the difficulty and the hope involved in rebuilding a broken relationship.

Its message of “slowly, piece by piece” offers guidance when, after a fight with your partner, you don’t know where to begin.

Ed Sheeran’s warm voice and moving melody will give you the courage to take the first step toward making amends.
