Ed Sheeran performed a total of five songs including the two smash hit singles — ‘Shape of You’ and Castle on the Hill’ — from his new album, “÷,” (Divide), which was released on March 3rd to universal critical acclaim and is expected to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with sales of more than 500,000. He has become the first music artist ever to debut two singles simultaneously in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. ‘Shape of You’ has gone on to top the chart and ‘Castle on the Hill’ has reached No. 6.
Along with the live concert he also sat for an interview with Savannah Guthrie, Willie Geist, Al Roker and Carson Daly and announced his world tour which will kick off later this year and will include a total of four months in North America from June to October. He also spoke about his new album “÷,” (Divide), and why he chose to release the two singles simultaneously in January.
During his on stage interview at The Plaza he showed Today Show’s Savannah Guthrie, Carson Daly and Willie Geist how to use the loop pedal that he has been using throughout his career in lieu of a backing band.
