English singer Ed Sheeran continues to dominate charts around the world with his music.
His smash hit, 'Perfect', re-entered the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, meaning it has spent a total of 26 weeks there. The song is only the 10th single in the chart's 59-year history to spend at least half-a-year in the Top 10.

Ed is the only lead male artist to have two songs spend six months in the Top 10.
