In episode 10 of Chart Attack, we finally take on the monolithic giant of 21st century pop music that is Ed Sheeran and his huge record number 1 “Your Form”.
We’ll find out why this strange, wildly catchy pop song has become such a phenomenon by asking pop music’s biggest question: Has Ed Sheeran been unfairly maligned?
We also try to reveal how this song and his huge third album really changed the way we look at the charts forever, and explain the extremely complex way the charts are structured now.
Along the way we’ll say hello to Eastenders’ Max Branning and Barry, commiserate with Donald Trump’s inauguration and visit one last time the street where Kevin Webster lost his stapler. All this and much more in the SERIES FINAL!! attacks according to the diagram.
