Ed top of the pops on Alexa album charts
Ed Sheeran AMAZON has revealed Ed Sheeran’s Divide is the most requested album on Alexa.
Hit records by George Ezra, Adele and Dua Lipa also feature in the Top 50, which was released to coincide with National Album Day.
But a closer look at Alexa’s most popular records reveals behaviour that may concern the music industry.
When people use voice commands to stream, they ask for songs they already know, with new artists largely frozen out of the picture.
Sheeran accounts for three of the top five most requested records, and there are multiple entries for stars like Taylor Swift and Katy Perry.
