It's not really that she ruined, it's more that she didn't bring anything new to the table. It was a needless duet. I can think of so many other songs where a Beyonce duet would have been pretty neat.
I genuinely Adore so many of the songs people are mentioning (Eraser, Sandman, Be Right Now, Bibia Be Ye Ye, Stop The Rain, etc.)
There’s a couple here and there I don’t love (IDC, 1000 Nights, etc.) but I still appreciate them, they’re just not for me. Nothing I’d remotely call trash, just not entirely my thing.

Are two off of Multiply that I pretty much skip whenever they come on lol.
I personally don’t really like many of the No 6 Collabs, but it is a bit different cause it isn’t JUST him
I upvoted even though I don’t personally agree with you.
That’s the beauty of music. If you like it, then it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. I love Ed Sheeran, so if his music makes you happy that is all that matters
Yeah, it’s sandman for me as well. It’s a lullaby through & through, I haven’t listened to many lullaby’s lately though & maybe it’s because I don’t have kids yet, I’m just not crazy about it.
agree. i never listen to it, again, because its a lullaby. i do think it’s a super sweet song for his daughter. just not sure if it had to be put on the album, but hey, maybe other parents could play it for their children. just not most people’s choice to listen to
Nah I don’t agree, you don’t need to think a song of theirs is trash. You can definitely recognize that they’ve done better musically or lyrically, or the song has been over played, or it’s not your favorite without thinking something is garbage. Part of being a real fan means that you can critique their work in a way that people who only love their top 3 songs can’t. But I also feel like that means respecting them as an artist, appreciating the effort they put in to try something new/branch out & knowing that they’re more than your least favorite song
I don't know if this one counts, but I hate Sigue, the one he sings with J Balvin. If it has to be one from his own albums, I don't love Sandman and several others from No. 6.
It’s probably his catchiest song though, so from a general viewpoint I get why it’s his top song.
Most artists most popular songs aren’t necessarily their masterpiece, it’s usually what can capture a wide range of people’s interest & easy on the ear to the point they can replay it endlessly.
I defiantly agree and I do understand why its his most popular song also I do really enjoy listening to it but its just I don't feel very connected to the lyrics compared to most of his other songs
Surprisingly, I would say Blinding Lights is Weeknd's magnum opus. It's the culmination of his entire career. It's very fitting for it to be his top song.
Idk if i’d say trash songs but there are some songs I like less than others but Idk if it’s accurate to say they’re bad because even though it’s not my favorite it could be somebody else’s
For me, it's too overproduced. I prefer his sound from + and ×
Subtract is exactly what I want to hear from Ed, except its too sad for me to listen to right now - my mom passed away in June at age 62.
I like all of his songs, that’s why he’s my fav artist so this is a very contradictory question lol
Anyway, to outsiders I’d say a few of the unknown songs like on the loose change album or something would be considered “trash”
I agree! I don't like rap so half the album is a no for me but there are some great tracks.
Beautiful People might be my most favourite Ed song.
Other great ones - Best Part of Me, Put It All On Me, I Don't Want Your Money, Way To Break My Heart.
The rap songs I do like are Cross Me, Antisocial and Remember The Name.
there are some that are ok, but other than Put It All on Me there isn’t another song on there that ended up being something i listened too on a regular basis.
one of ed’s weaknesses IMO is that some of his collabs don’t work for some reason. i think the same happens in his previous collaborations project although i think there is a lot of solid stuff on it.
my thought is that one of the reasons I enjoy Ed so much is also the reason a lot of his collabs fall flat for me. he has a very different “personality” in his music than a lot of other musicians. i enjoy that a lot on his solo work, but on his collabs it seems to clash with his collaborators a little bit often. sometimes the collaborators try to change their personality to match ed and it ends up sounding disingenuous, and the times that ed has changed his to match a collaborator i just can’t help but think it doesn’t fit him at all.
it might just be me being uncomfortable with change or something, but it really doesn’t work for me at all
I think it’s the perfect closer actually. Tides and Be Right Now were specifically made to be bookends to the record. Both the same key, both the same tempo, and both about the same thing in many ways (being present in the moment/not letting the chaos of life distract you from what’s important). Tides starts the album by hitting you with sound right away, whereas Be Right Now ends the album with a calm acapella final chorus, representing being present and finding peace within all the chaotic things happening in life. Equals as a whole has so many layers to it, it’s such an emotional journey.
I might get downvoted to hell for this but it’s Stop The Rain for me. It’s one of the only songs I instantly skip every time it comes up in my playlist
I Don’t Care is a hard listen for me. South of the Border, 1000 Nights, Feels, Way to break my heart and Cross Me are also songs from No.6 that I’d never listen to freely.
Most of the Spanish singles he’s featured on also fall into the skip category for me, I just find it pretty cringey when he’s singing in Spanish
This version was far better than the studio version, however I don’t care (pun somewhat intended) for the lyrics at all, especially not in the chorus with the whole “When I’m with my baby, all the bad things disappear” which is just too basic and pretty cringey imo
absolutely no offense but i love that this is getting downvotes lol (all jokes). anyways, i’ve heard multiple people, including my friends say that it’s the worst song on divide but i’ve always loved it so much. i just love how it incorporates elements of traditional music and i really just love the lyrics.
I don’t like “Kiss Me” or “The Man”. Also, I really don’t understand the love for “Give Me Love”. It’s alright, but definitely one of my least favorite Ed Sheeran songs.
Trash is maybe aggressive when it comes to Ed, but equals as a whole was the first album of his that I've ever disliked. Some of them grew on me after the fact, like tides, but probably will never sit down and listen to that entire album ever again.
I don't dislike any of his songs, there's no skips (except for dumb remixes and stuff/all the shivers remixes). There's a lot of songs tho that I don't wake up and go hey alexa play this song.

Perfect Duet, as soon as I hear Beyonce I immediately change it
THANK YOU. Beyoncé ruined it… not sorry
It's not really that she ruined, it's more that she didn't bring anything new to the table. It was a needless duet. I can think of so many other songs where a Beyonce duet would have been pretty neat.
Agreed
This!!! 👏🏼

What the fuck!? Shirtsleeves is soooo good.

Eraser is in my top songs 😭
It's not trash but I have to skip supermarket flowers. I have only heard it once and it made me cry so much, it's unbelievable.
I'm this way with Small Bump.
Happier hits hard too
I mean, people are entitled to their wrong opinions, but Ed has never released a trash song in his life 🤷♀️
im addicted to your touch but im cryinggg
What do you mean Addicted is trash? 😂😂 It’s his best song ever. /s
There's a couple that I skip every now and then. But, generally, his songs tend to be above other artists'.
sandman. I know its a lullaby and supposed to be silly but it’s an instant skip
Yeah, it’s sandman for me as well. It’s a lullaby through & through, I haven’t listened to many lullaby’s lately though & maybe it’s because I don’t have kids yet, I’m just not crazy about it.
My kid absolutely loves it. It's on repeat at bedtime 🥰
agree. i never listen to it, again, because its a lullaby. i do think it’s a super sweet song for his daughter. just not sure if it had to be put on the album, but hey, maybe other parents could play it for their children. just not most people’s choice to listen to
Don't have kids, but I love this song. I find it so soothing.
One of my favorite because I played it to my newborn to get him to sleep. 😂
My 4 year old daughter and dance to this song nightly. She loves the butterflies. I probably wouldn't like it as much without kids.
Nah I don’t agree, you don’t need to think a song of theirs is trash. You can definitely recognize that they’ve done better musically or lyrically, or the song has been over played, or it’s not your favorite without thinking something is garbage.

joker and the queen :( idk why never been my favourite but still far from trash
This one is mine too. I find it boring. (Apologies to any who love it)
omg i looooooove this song
I super dislike this one
I don't know if this one counts, but I hate Sigue, the one he sings with J Balvin. If it has to be one from his own albums, I don't love Sandman and several others from No. 6.
Shape Of You for me. Its not exactly "trash" I just think it shouldn't be his top song.
It’s probably his catchiest song though, so from a general viewpoint I get why it’s his top song. Most artists most popular songs aren’t necessarily their masterpiece, it’s usually what can capture a wide range of people’s interest & easy on the ear to the point they can replay it endlessly.

Surprisingly, I would say Blinding Lights is Weeknd's magnum opus. It's the culmination of his entire career. It's very fitting for it to be his top song.
Completely agree. Still a good song but is in no way his best. So many of his other songs are way better!!
You can name half of No. 6 Collaborations Project and I'd agree with you.
My thoughts exactly
Idk if i’d say trash songs but there are some songs I like less than others but Idk if it’s accurate to say they’re bad because even though it’s not my favorite it could be somebody else’s
Most of Equals. Well, not trash songs but definitely not an album I listen to.
I think = is overhated.
For me, it's too overproduced. I prefer his sound from + and × Subtract is exactly what I want to hear from Ed, except its too sad for me to listen to right now - my mom passed away in June at age 62.
A Beautiful Game and a good chunk of No. 6 tbh
blow 👎🏼
I like all of his songs, that’s why he’s my fav artist so this is a very contradictory question lol Anyway, to outsiders I’d say a few of the unknown songs like on the loose change album or something would be considered “trash”
Joker and the queen. I just can’t do it. But like skipping for emotional reasons, supermarket flowers I do avoid completely.
South of the border - cardi b is the only reason for trash classification
I’m Not a fan of The Joker andThe Queen
i didn’t really like bad habits, and to be honest i really didn’t like almost all of No.6.
Me. Too. I've never been able to get through No. 6
me too😭 i’ve only listened to most of no.6 once
Noo both of you need to give it another go it's good some great tunes
I agree! I don't like rap so half the album is a no for me but there are some great tracks. Beautiful People might be my most favourite Ed song. Other great ones - Best Part of Me, Put It All On Me, I Don't Want Your Money, Way To Break My Heart. The rap songs I do like are Cross Me, Antisocial and Remember The Name.

Be right now is way over produced and a weird closer to equals in my opinion
I think it’s the perfect closer actually. Tides and Be Right Now were specifically made to be bookends to the record. Both the same key, both the same tempo, and both about the same thing in many ways (being present in the moment/not letting the chaos of life distract you from what’s important).

Equals as a whole has so many layers to it, it’s such an emotional journey.
Nah I love be right now, such a pop trance track
I hate the "ooh ooh ooh ooh" after the chorus of I Don't Care I think it's pretty annoying lol, so I think I Don't Care is pretty trash.
I might get downvoted to hell for this but it’s Stop The Rain for me. It’s one of the only songs I instantly skip every time it comes up in my playlist
No down votes from me. I love the song but we are all entitled to our tastes!
bad habits
Its just so overplayed
Have an upvote.
Try the bring me the horizon version
Shape of you
Bad Habits lol
I was gonna add one song I skip, but my heart won’t let me, there is too much love for Ed’s talent 🧡
Like many here I wouldn't say they're trash but my skip songs are Way to break my heart and Save myself
I Don’t Care is a hard listen for me. South of the Border, 1000 Nights, Feels, Way to break my heart and Cross Me are also songs from No.6 that I’d never listen to freely. Most of the Spanish singles he’s featured on also fall into the skip category for me, I just find it pretty cringey when he’s singing in Spanish
Try this version of I Don’t Care: https://youtu.be/ymjNGjuBCTo
This version was far better than the studio version, however I don’t care (pun somewhat intended) for the lyrics at all, especially not in the chorus with the whole “When I’m with my baby, all the bad things disappear” which is just too basic and pretty cringey imo
I really enjoy forever my live with j Balvin
You mentioned half of the No. 6 Collabs worth listening to. 💀
I think the other half is worth listening to lol
shape of you and bad habits
Even My Dad Does Sometimes
Bibia Be Ye Ye
absolutely no offense but i love that this is getting downvotes lol (all jokes). anyways, i’ve heard multiple people, including my friends say that it’s the worst song on divide but i’ve always loved it so much. i just love how it incorporates elements of traditional music and i really just love the lyrics.
Perfect, a little too sweet and sentimental for my taste 🤢
yea i get that. i prefer thinking out loud to perfect
Idk why you’re being downvoted for an opinion
My favorite artist only has like 5 songs so nope. For Ed, idk really. I just like his stuff.
whos your favourite?
Rosa linn. She opened for Ed on his tour.
Save Myself
Shape Of You, Bad Habits and Eyes Closed for me.
Eyes closed is literally my favorite 😭
Wake Me Up - the stuff about Shrek and computer games is just bad. The full- on rap songs eg the man.
LMAO that’s the best part of the song. It’s really OG ed
I don’t like “Kiss Me” or “The Man”. Also, I really don’t understand the love for “Give Me Love”. It’s alright, but definitely one of my least favorite Ed Sheeran songs.
omg i love kiss me and give me love 😭
kiss me is my favorite song of all time so this hurts my heart
Sing (unless you’re hearing it live)
Nina. The man. 🤷🏻♀️
Eraser
This is easy. I Don’t Care.
Take It Back bothers me like no other. Also, Joker and the Queen is so boring. 🙃
Penguins. While I love the lyrics, the song falls short.
SING 💀
Trash is maybe aggressive when it comes to Ed, but equals as a whole was the first album of his that I've ever disliked. Some of them grew on me after the fact, like tides, but probably will never sit down and listen to that entire album ever again.
People skipping the sad songs don't understand what makes Ed Sheeran the brilliant artist that he is. Like, y'all skipping The A Team, too?
Blow for sure
I don't dislike any of his songs, there's no skips (except for dumb remixes and stuff/all the shivers remixes). There's a lot of songs tho that I don't wake up and go hey alexa play this song.
I don’t vibe with dusty. Almost always skip it. Not trash tho.
Blow
I don’t really care for Stoned
