Rounding out the Top 5 we have Ed once again, this time teaming up with Afrobeats superstar Fireboy DML on Peru (3), breakout BRITs Rising Star nominee Cat Burns with her Number 2-peaking single Go (4), and Ed's third entry, the scintillating former Number 1 single Shivers (5).Ģ022 also saw the year of an extraordinary renaissance for one of Britain's greatest pop stars. This year also saw Ed break a major Official Charts record - becoming the first artist ever to have four albums chart inside the Official Albums Chart Top 10 for a year or more. In second place is Ed Sheeran with 2021's biggest song, Bad Habits, which gobbled up 1.18 million chart units throughout 2022, proving Ed's reach is just as dynamic and powerful as ever. It now takes, on average, 1.3 million audio streams to break into the Official Singles Chart Top 40 and a combined 7 million audio and video streams to land a UK Number 1 single. The UK’s audio streaming market has grown to meet this demand - more doubling from 68.1 billion to 159.3 billion audio streams and was last year over 40 times bigger than in 2012 (3.7bn audio streams). The BPI calculates that more than 3 billion audio streams were generated on average every week in 2022, compared to around 1.3 billion each week five years earlier.
