Ed Sheeran selects his final Tracks of My Years

Ed Sheeran, the global superstar, picks his Tracks of My Years in an interview originally broadcast in 2014. Plus Ken has another round of the PopMaster music quiz.

Ed Sheeran, the global superstar and one of the biggest selling artists of all time, picks his Tracks of My Years with songs from Derek and the Dominoes and Ray LaMontagne. This interview is taken from the archives and was originally broadcast in 2014 around the release of Ed's second studio album 'x' (Multiply) which went on to become the second best-selling album of the year in 2015 and earned him a Brit Award for Album of the Year. It also included the hit single 'Thinking Out Loud' which won two Grammy Awards. Ed has achieved enormous success after exploding onto the music scene with his debut album '+' (Plus) in 2011. He's gone on to become the second most streamed artist of the decade on Spotify and was crowned the UK's Official Number 1 Artist of the Decade (2010-2019), after spending 14 weeks at Number 1 with his hit single 'Shape Of You' in 2017. Since then it's amassed over 4.5million chart sales. It's one of three of his songs in the Top 5 end-of-decade list - 'Thinking Out Loud' is at 3 and former Christmas Number 1, 'Perfect makes' it to number 5. .

Ken has another round of the legendary PopMaster music quiz and your dedications with today's love song. There's also the record and album of the week.
