Sheeran celebrated this historic milestone by posting a video on social media, where he shared a backstory behind its release history and revealed it was never meant to be a single in the first place.

“Ben Cook from my label, was basically saying ‘You have to put this on the album. it had to be a single.’ And I said to him, ‘I want ‘Castle on the Hill’ to be the first single… We agreed to disagree and put both songs out at once. And I have to say, Ben, I was wrong and you were very much right. And here we are!” said Sheeran in the video.

“Shape of You” was indeed released as one of the double lead singles from his 2017 album Divide, along with “Castle on the Hill”. It hit No. 1 in 34 countries and won numerous accolades, including the British single of the year at the Brit Awards and the best pop solo performance at the Grammy Awards.

And thanks to modern technology, they can now enjoy those songs through streaming.

Universal Music Group has scoured streaming platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, and YouTube to determine the most-streamed song of the 20th century.

Despite record companies claiming that it was too long and would never sell due to its bizarre lyrics and operatic arrangement, Queen can feel vindicated that its classic, “Bohemian Rhapsody,” has been named the most-streamed song from the 20th century.

The 6-minute track written by Freddie Mercury in 1975 may have received a boost with audiences thanks to the 2018 film of the same name.

The song surpassed 1.6 billion streams globally, across all major streaming services, overtaking “Smells Like Teen Spirit” by Nirvana.

“So the river of rock music has metamorphosed into streams! Very happy that our music is still flowing to the max!” exclaimed Queen guitarist Brian May.
