STREAMING SONGS CHART: FOR YOUR ED-IFICATION

Ed Sheeran's kickass streaming week was naturally led by mega-single "Shape of You" (WMG), which lapped the field on our Streaming Songs Chart with 22.2M+, while "Castle on a Hill" nabbed about 11m for #7, "Galway Girl" just a few thousand fewer for #8, "Dive" took 10.3m for #9, "Happier" scored #12 with 9m+ and assorted other tracks scattered throughout the remainder of the chart scooped up plenty more.

Artists not named Ed Sheeran who also had a good week included WMG's Bruno Mars (#11-3 with "That's What I Like"), Republic's Post Malone, who moved #16-13, Columbia's Calvin Harris, who debuted at #15 with "Slide," Lava/Republic's Lorde (who bowed at #18) with "Green Light," and Right Hand/RCA's Khalid, who shoots #50-30 with "Location."

Marketshare breaks down as WMG 45%, UMG 32%, Sony Music 21%.

OK, we're burnt, buddy. Study the rest of the chart your own damn self.
