Arguably one of the few people I've never heard of on this site haha

Lol strange wording for the news post.

Not a fan at all. Bore off Sheeran.

I bought his record Monday. He's HUGE in UK (multi-times platinum album, 4 singles in the top 10). He collaborated with many hip-hop artists (he released an EP with Yelawolf on Valentine's Day). He's literally taking over the world right now.

"Give Me Love" should be a single.

I think Robert Marrs is the biggest new artist!

Still a bit far fetched, I don't doubt he will get more popular with more recognition, but he's only really "taking over" the UK and Australia right now. Nowhere else. So he's not "one of the biggest artists this year" by a stretch.

Awesome guy. True artist.

He definitely has hit the US radar as an artist. Victoria's Secret is using his song "Give Me Love" in one of their recent ads - although it makes absolutely no sense IMO. And I've heard his songs on various TV shows.

He was a good actor in those Harry Potter films...

Yeah, he's big in the UK, but not really a fan.

That.

Saw him live with Snow Patrol a week ago....most of the crowd didn't know him, but I did see a cougar wearing his shirt....

nope.

All I think when I hear an Ed Sheeran song is "God damn I wish I was listening to Newton Faulkner."

This guy is awful.

I adore him. Yes some of his songs are kind of boring and/or cheesy, but man I am a sucker for his voice. His ep with Yelawolf is worth checking out, even if you didn't like his album.

Arguably one of the biggest artists of the year.... IN THE UK. I'm not sure how many outside the country would know who he is.

I think his fame in the US hinges upon his association with One Direction.
