All of Sheeran’s albums, not counting the collab release No.6 Collaborations Project, used math symbols as their title. His debut + (plus) dropped in 2011 and was followed by x (multiply) in 2014, ÷ (divide) in 2017, and this year’s = (equal). The next in line is – (minus), which is scheduled for a 2022 release and is set to contain acoustic songs.

When asked about his plans for the future, Sheeran said that he wants to have five more albums named after symbols, although they won’t be taken from the math world.

“I’m going to make 10 symbol records, but the next five won’t be maths,” Sheeran shared.

Elsewhere in the interview with Armchair Expert, Sheeran also revealed plans to make a follow up to 2019’s No.6 Collaborations Project that saw him join forces with the likes of Justin Bieber, Cardi B, and Eminem.

“Between the next one I’ll do No. 7,” he added.

Sheeran released his most recent album = (equal) in late October. The record didn’t meet with widespread approval from the critics like his previous studio efforts and was described as “formulaic.”

The British pop star just announced that he is releasing an entire album made out of collaborations. The record will be titled No.6 Collaborations Project and is scheduled for release on July 12th.

Alongside the announcement, Sheeran also released the second single for the album, “Cross Me” featuring Chance the Rapper and PNB Rock, on Apple Music and Spotify.

“Before I was signed in 2011, I made an EP called No.5 Collaborations Project. Since then, I’ve always wanted to do another, so I started No.6 on my laptop when I was on tour last year. I’m a huge fan of all the artists I’ve collaborated with and it’s been a lot of fun to make,” Sheeran said in a statement.

Although Sheeran revealed the full track list for the album on his Instagram, he chose not to reveal the artists featured on the songs.  

Ed Sheeran collaborated with an array of fellow musicians since releasing his critically acclaimed third studio album ÷ in 2017. The list includes Taylor Swift, Eminem, Beyoncé, and Andrea Bocelli.

“The next record that I’m making is not a pop album.” said Sheeran. “The reason it’s not a pop album is people expect you to come and the next album they’re going to be like ‘it has to be bigger than ‘Shape of You’ and it has to sell more than this’, but if I control it and go ‘here’s a lo-fi record that I really f***ing love,’ my fans are gonna be like ‘Yay!’, and the pop world are gonna be like ‘oh well, maybe the next one.’”

“If the next album does, like, 2 or 1 [million], or 500,000, it’s not a failure because I’ve made an album where I’m not trying to get there, so it’s not a failure.” he added. “No one’s going to be like, ‘that’s a flop’. They’re going to be like, ‘that’s what he wants to do’.”

2017 was more than successful for Ed Sheeran. He finished as the Spotify’s most streamed artist and ÷ was the most successful album on the platform, reaching 3.1 billion streams, and also the best-selling album in the United States and the UK. Sheeran also received numerous awards for his work in 2017, including the Grammy Awards for Best Pop Solo Performance for the ‘Shape of You’ and Best Pop Vocal Album for ÷.
