Ed Sheeran Quiz: Guess the Song & Test Your Trivia

An Ed Sheeran quiz is wider than his wedding-radio image: one man with a loop pedal covers real ground. Guess the Ed Sheeran song from acoustic giants like 'Perfect', 'Thinking Out Loud' and 'Castle on the Hill', then test your trivia on the dancefloor turns 'Shape of You' and 'Bad Habits', and rap cuts like 'Eraser' that catch out ballad fans. Add the hits with his name only in the credits, 'Love Yourself' for Justin Bieber, and see how well you really know Ed Sheeran before the chorus lands.

The wedding-radio giants (where casual fans score)

Start with the songs that made him a wedding-playlist fixture. 'Perfect', 'Thinking Out Loud', 'Photograph', 'Castle on the Hill' and 'The A Team' are the acoustic giants most players name from the first chords. In any Ed Sheeran quiz, these are the guaranteed points.

One man, one loop pedal: the whole sound is Ed

Here is what casual fans miss: there is no band. Ed builds a track live by looping guitar, vocal and percussion, so the full-sounding production on 'Shape of You' or 'Sing' is one person stacking parts. Once you hear the catalogue as a solo loop-pedal act, the range starts to make sense.

Wait, he raps? (where superfans pull ahead)

He is filed under acoustic balladeer, so his rapping is where superfans pull ahead. 'You Need Me, I Don't Need You', 'Take It Back' and 'Eraser' feature fast, rhythmic verses that catch out anyone expecting only love songs. Placing these from a short clip is a real fan's edge.

The hits hiding in the credits

Some of Ed Sheeran's biggest hits are sung by other people. He co-wrote Justin Bieber's 'Love Yourself' and One Direction's 'Little Things', and he has guested across pop and hip-hop. A thorough quiz asks whether you can trace a song back to him even when his name is only in the credits.
