2017 in music has, so far, belonged to Ed Sheeran, so it won’t come as much surprise that he dominates the UK’s Official Top 40 biggest tracks of the year to date.

With the first quarter of the year (Q1) cleared, Shape Of You – one of Ed's double single release ahead of his third album ÷ - leads the way with a massive 1.8 million shifted across all formats.

67% of that figure is streaming equivalent sales (121 million plays), while 33% is digital downloads (604,000), meaning Shape Of You is also the biggest ‘selling’ song of 2017 so far and most streamed.

The second of Ed’s releases, Castle On The Hill, is the second biggest song of the YTD, with 1.1 million equivalent units sold, made up of 397,000 downloads and 74.7 streams.

A total of seven songs by Ed Sheeran appear in the YTD Top 40 off the back of his hugely successful ÷ album. Galway Girl is proving a hit with the British public, placing seventh (445,000 combined copies), while the seven featured songs from ÷ have collectively amassed 1.2 million individual track downloads alone as fans cherry-pick their favourites from the collection.

Meanwhile, Rag’n’Bone Man’s hugely successful breakthrough single Human is third with 644,000 combined sales (a total of 903,000 across all formats since its release last year), while You Don’t Know Me by producer Jax Jones is fourth (595,000).

Rounding off the Top 5 are Little Mix with Touch, the second single from their fourth album Glory Days. The track, which was released last year, peaked at Number 4 and has shifted 515,000 equivalent units so far in 2017 (651,000 including 2016’s numbers). Touch’s predecessor, Shout Out To My Ex, places 26^th.

Following a strong run of form delivering hit after hit, US production duo The Chainsmokers enjoy multiple entries in the list; Paris is currently 2017’s ninth biggest song, Something Just Like This (with Coldplay) is 14th and Closer is 25th. Rising star Dua Lipa also appears three times, with Be The One at 18, No Lie (with Sean Paul) at 21 and Scared To Be Lonely (with Martin Garrix) at 23.
