Gold Winner Ed Sheeran
Silver Winner Adele
Bronze Winner Bruno Mars
He’s on his way, but not to a battlement on Citadel Hill. FOT (Friend Of Taylor) Ed Sheeran stormed the world— but gently, like a nice Englishman— all of 2017 with his third record Divide. “Shape of You” blasted, inescapably, from bars and cars for months. Game of Thrones got a cameo visit, but Mr. Ed and his sleeve tattoos never made it here. In 2018 you can try Asia or Australia or the UK. Or Switzerland, or Ireland, or Austria. But Halifax? Sorry mate, not this year.
