Data released by the Official Charts Company and music trade body BPI reveals that X has reached million-selling status and in doing so becomes the first artist to achieve the feat within a calendar year since Emeli Sande's Our Version Of Events in 2012.
X - which has amassed sales in excess of of 1.005m - places Ed in an elite group of British artists who have achieved the landmark in the UK over the past few years, including Adele in 2011 (21 and 19), Take That in 2010 (Progress) and Susan Boyle in 2009 (I Dreamed a Dream).
With the peak Christmas trading period still to come, it is likely the album will be certified 4x Platinum (equivalent to 1.2m copies) by the BPI before the end of 2014.
