“Eyes Closed” by Ed Sheeran soars to the top spot in the UK.

“Eyes Closed” (Atlantic) soars to No. 1 on the U.K. singles list, deposing Miley Cyrus.

With “Eyes Closed,” the lead song from Sheeran’s upcoming album Subtract, the Englishman becomes the 14th best-selling artist of all time on the Official U.K. Singles Chart, which was released on March 31.

Thus, “Eyes Closed” puts a stop to “Flowers'” ten-week reign. One week before it would have matched Tones, Cyrus’ smash is cut short. Additionally, I’s 11-week run with “Dance Monkey” is still the record for the longest run by a female solo act.
