Ed Sheeran's globe-conquering second album has now sold over 2 million copies since its release in June last year.

The singer-songwriter, fresh from taking home two Awards at last month's BRITs, now joins the ranks of Adele, Emeli Sande, Take That and Michael Buble - the artists who have shifted 2 million copies since the start of the decade. 

"So chuffed to hear X has just hit the two million mark in the UK," he told Official Charts Company. "Looking forward to getting back there for my Wembley shows in July and celebrating with you all."

Not only did the album spend 12 weeks at No.1, but it's also reported that the album shifted an amazing 214,000 copies were shifted in just seven days during December. 

According to Kasabian's Serge Pizzorno - that means there are 2million squares out there
