Ed Sheeran’s “Bad Habits” Smashes Records: Surpasses 2 Billion Spotify Streams, His 6th Track to Hit the Milestone

Ed Sheeran has once again proven why he remains one of the most-streamed artists in the world. His global smash hit “Bad Habits” has officially surpassed 2 billion streams on Spotify, securing its place among the elite few songs to reach this staggering figure. Even more impressively, this marks Sheeran’s sixth track to achieve the milestone, a feat only a handful of artists can boast.

Released in June 2021 as the lead single from his album “=” (Equals), “Bad Habits” quickly became an international sensation. With its infectious dance-pop beat and Sheeran’s unmistakable vocals, the song topped charts worldwide, dominating radio airplay and streaming playlists alike.

This achievement adds “Bad Habits” to a powerhouse lineup of Sheeran’s biggest hits that have crossed the 2-billion mark, including “Shape of You,” “Perfect,” “Photograph,” “Thinking Out Loud,” and “I Don’t Care” (with Justin Bieber). Together, these songs have cemented Sheeran’s legacy as one of the most streamed artists in Spotify’s history.

Beyond its numbers, “Bad Habits” represented a bold creative shift for Sheeran, who swapped his usual acoustic-driven sound for a darker, more electronic-inspired vibe. The risk clearly paid off, with the track not only connecting with fans but also earning him award nominations, viral TikTok moments, and now another streaming milestone.

As of today, Sheeran remains in the rarefied league of artists who consistently break barriers in the digital era. With new music on the horizon and a loyal global fanbase, it’s safe to say “Bad Habits” won’t be the last song of his to soar past billions of streams.
