Even it does.

What's he gonna do ?

Cry with the millions of dollars that he earned from Spotify alone

Ed Sheeran makes an estimated $30 million to $40 million per year from Spotify alone.

He also has a massive Properties portfolio

Damn. He must have a lot of songs.

"Ed Sheeran has roughly 350 to 380 individual tracks available on Spotify, including his main studio albums, deluxe editions, collaborations, and featured guest spots."

112

u/Jean_Luc_Dikard 27d ago

And they all sound exactly the fucking same.

u/tunable_sausage 27d ago

Lol, beat me to it. I literally cannot tell one song from another.

u/ReasonableDig6414 27d ago

Good news is you don't have to listen to them.

u/Jean_Luc_Dikard 27d ago

Unless you happen to be near anywhere playing anything on a radio station, anywhere in the world.

u/Blasphemiee 27d ago

u/booze_clues 27d ago

My grocery store was playing Paint It Black for some reason a couple weeks ago.

u/jeobleo 27d ago

I've literally never heard one!

u/Zeri-coaihnan 27d ago

Sorry who is this Ted Suredone we’re all talking about?

u/AddlePatedBadger 27d ago

Maybe you have and didn't know it.

2

u/jeobleo 27d ago

I don't listen to the radio and I don't have spotify. But maybe. I think he was in game of thrones? Did he sing in that one?

u/AddlePatedBadger 27d ago

No idea. You mayve overhead him ina supermarket or something.

2

u/jeobleo 27d ago

That's true. That's how I discovered that song that sounds like Take on Me about 3 years ago.

Or just listen to one of them over and over

"I'm sick to death of people saying we've made 11 albums that sound exactly the same, In fact, we've made 12 albums that sound exactly the same.”

If you have a good thing going, might as well stick with it. Sheeran's not my style of music but if people like what he puts out then I'm not going to judge him. When you have a goldmine, keep digging out the gold, don't start focusing on gravel.

u/SmootherWorm 27d ago

He also has written a bunch of songs for other performers, so he still makes money if people avoid his songs out of protest.

u/Tuomas90 27d ago

Jesus! I have nothing against Ed, but if you put out 380 songs, there must be a lot of crap in it. Quantity over quality. I mean that's the equivalent of about 33 studio albums! That should be at least 70 years worth of work!

Kinda reminds me of Dua Lipa (which I'm a fan of) talking about her latest album. She proudly said she had written something like 40 or 50 songs on tour. Girl, if those songs on the album are the best of the best of 50 songs, then that's nothing to be proud of. It's really not the flex you think it is...uff...

u/Weird-Knee-3464 27d ago

Not true necessarily of course.

u/GingerIsTheBestSpice 27d ago

Plus he writes for others. Love yourself by beiber, animal by katseye, a bunch of one direction, etc etc.

u/No-Clue-9155 27d ago

What a beg

u/morph23 27d ago

It's called spotifymaxxing

u/Naps_in_sunshine 27d ago

He writes a lot for other people too.

1

u/HungusHodorphus 27d ago

He's also a prominent songwriter for other artists like Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, One Direction, BTS, and a lot more.

All the musical equivalent to listening to paint dry.
Also, the lyrics. “Will your mouth remember the taste of my love” 🤮

u/Itchy-Boots 27d ago

said by someone that has achieved nothing, derp.

u/TheDonnARK 27d ago edited 27d ago

Music isn't good because the listener is simply incapable of musical achievement.  u/graspedbythehusk's ability/achievement or lack of ability/achievement isn't a factor.

It's simply a quality evaluation.  Dude doesn't enjoy Sheeran's pop-sound, that's all.

EDIT: To "actively bash" him, one would need to do more than say that essentially, one thinks Sheeran's music is boring.  Fan count is also irrelevant because opinions are preference based.  Like me as an example, I haven't ever enjoyed taylor swifts music, and she's now a billionaire with a fan count likely in the hundreds of millions.  I don't care, I still don't enjoy her music.

u/ReasonableDig6414 27d ago

It's one thing not to enjoy someone's music. It is another to actively bash them for their music when he has millions of fans.

u/sternlip 27d ago

In the immortal words of Immortal Technique -

Going platinum has nothing to do with luck, it just means that a million people are stupid as fuck.

u/No-Sign8805 27d ago

Where did he "actively bash" Ed Sheeran?

The only comment I see is

All the musical equivalent to listening to paint dry.

Which means that he finds Ed's music to be as boring as fuck. I agree. That's a matter of opinion. It's not "actively bashing" someone.

2

u/Original_Click2739 27d ago

Likening someones music to "paint drying" is definitely bashing my friend. If you say something in a rude way that can be said in many other not so rude ways, you are being a dick

u/The_Ruck_Inspector 27d ago

Said by someone who listens to Ed Sheeran. Praying for you.
