Ed Sheeran Becomes First Artist To Reach 100 Million Spotify Followers

Taking to social media, the singer/songwriter shared a video which shows him wearing a wet tshirt, sent to him by the streaming service, with the words, “ASK ME ABOUT MY 100 MILLION SPOTIFY FOLLOWERS”. 

The comical video shows Ed trying to get the attention of some disinterested venue staff ahead of a gig from his live tour.
