ED'S AHEAD FOR
MOST-STREAMED
POP ALBUM

Ed Sheeran’s Divide (WMG) has broken Justin Bieber’s 101-million Purpose streams record to become the most streamed pop album thus far; it looks set to earn at least 130m streams and secure the seventh-biggest streaming week of any album since we started tracking such things. Drake’s Views remains the overall champ with nearly 250m streams in its first week; J. Cole (177m) and The Weeknd (175m) hold down the second and third spots.

Consult our SPS chart, which becomes final later today, for Ed’s ultimate debut-week stream number.
