The album has since achieved platinum sales in 18 countries, including the United States and his native United Kingdom, where it was the biggest selling album of 2014. With worldwide sales exceeding 7 million, "x" is highlighted by the smash singles "Sing," "Don't" and "Thinking Out Loud," which marks Sheeran's first #1 single in the U.S. Sheeran was nominated for three Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year.
