Ed Sheeran's "Perfect" is still going strong on the Billboard Hot 100, and now its longevity has given the GRAMMY-winning singer/songwriter yet another record-breaking moment he can boast about.

"Perfect" has been on the chart for a year, becoming the 61st hit to have done so. But Sheeran is no newbie to this feat. "Thinking Out Loud" stayed on the charts for 58 weeks between Oct. 2014 and Nov. 2015 and "Shape Of You" had a 59 week run on the Hot 100 from Jan. 2017 to March 2018. Now, "Perfect" has made him the first solo artist to have had three different songs stay on the Hot 100 for a year each.
GRAMMY winners Faith Hill, Bruno Mars, The Chainsmokers and Train, along with Lifehouse, have been close to making the milestone, each having had two songs on the chart for at least one year each. Imagine Dragons are they only artist ahead of Sheeran, making him the only solo artist to accomplish such a feat, to have three songs last on the charts for at least a year.

"Perfect," which also has a duet version with Beyoncé, is featured on the album, ÷ (Divide), winner of the Best Pop Vocal Album Category at the 60th GRAMMY Awards.
