Ed Sheeran Biography Flash a weekly Biography. Ed Sheeran has spent the past few days quietly but decisively setting up his next chapter, with a mix of business moves, live plans, and the kind of low-key public footprint that usually signals he is working more than talking. According to a recent industry roundup from Ad-Hoc-News, Sheeran is actively plotting what is being described as a new US tour era, with fresh dates being lined up following the huge global success of his Mathematics and Subtract projects and the creative left turn of Autumn Variations. Ad-Hoc-News also notes that his camp is teasing surprise music-related releases tied to this next touring leg, suggesting fans may get more than just a standard greatest-hits run; this has clear long-term biographical weight because it positions Sheeran as an artist unwilling to settle into a legacy-act pattern and instead continuing to test new release strategies. On the public appearance and media side, Sheeran has not done any major late-night or awards-show turns in the last few days, but his name has been circulating in the pop-culture ecosystem through other voices. A recent interview segment on YouTube from broadcaster Fleur East with singer and creator Alex Warren shows Warren enthusiastically calling out his admiration for Ed, describing how Sheeran's songwriting and career path remain a touchstone for younger artists. That kind of second-generation influence is increasingly part of Ed's story: he is no longer just a chart force, but a template. Music and radio commentary also continue to lean on Sheeran as a reference point. A Radio Today discussion on YouTube this week about how Gen Z engages with pop and streaming casually groups Ed alongside Justin Bieber in talking about artists whose catalogues are baked into the modern radio and playlist environment, a reminder that even on days he is not visible, he is structurally present in how the industry thinks about hooks, tempos, and formats. There are no verified new scandals, legal developments, or personal-life bombshells tied to Sheeran in the last few days; any social-media gossip about secret albums, label splits, or dramatic collaborations remains unconfirmed speculation and has not been backed up by major outlets or his own channels, so it should be treated as rumor, not record.

It's straight back into the radio year with the release of GfK's Survey 8, 2025 results, as Jen Seyderhelm and Steve Ahern summarise the results and talk to the main players. For the first time, the last survey of the year has been released in the following year. The strategy for the change in release dates is to get radio audience numbers in front of advertisers early in the calendar year, rather than waiting until March, as has been the practice in the past Survey 8 was conducted for CRA between Sun Oct 5 to Sat Dec 13 2025, which includes the beginning of the Australia v England Ashes cricket series. In Sydney - Smooth FM 95.3 finished 2025 as the No 1 station with a 13% share (up 1.6) and as the most listened to station in Australia 2GB's Ben Fordham No 1 on breakfast (down 1.9). Kyle and Jackie O No 1 FM (up 0.2). Jonesy and Amanda go out on a high - up 0.8 to 9.7 Melbourne - Daylight between Ross and Russ (19.8 down 0.3) on 3AW and Christian O'Connell (11.0 down 0.2) on Gold 104.3 on breakfast. 1.5 drop for Fifi, Fev and Nick on the Fox to fall below Nova, smooth and the ABC breakfast teams. 3AW just ahead of Gold 104.3 overall Triple M Brisbane leads overall. Nova 106.9's Ash, Luttsy and Nikki Osborne take top spot in breakfast in their last survey as the trio. A 1.0 drop for Robin, Kip and Corey Oates on Brisbane's KIIS 97.3, attributable to their dumping then reinstatement during the Survey 8 measurement period. 4BC the most negatively affected this survey by their significant line up changes. Adelaide - Triple M also No 1 overall. Great survey for Nova talk station FIVEaa, second on breakfast for Dave & Will behind Triple M and gaining ground. No change in Perth with Nova 93.7 No 1 and in breakfast. 96FM was up as they usually are to cap off the year. 92.9 Triple M appeared to pick up listeners from Mix 94.5 with Pete and Kymba returning just as a duo this year hopefully to give better stability for their listeners Nova 969 had more listeners in Sydney than KIIS 1065. Gold was the most listened to in Melbourne, but down. ABC Local stations were mostly steady, with the exception of Perth, which had a good rise. It is likely that the first Ashes test in Perth in the final weeks of survey delivered the 2.1 share point rise for ABC Perth, with good gains in all shifts in the daytime cricket timeslots. Commercial Radio reaches 12.4 million Australians every week. We hear from to Nine Radio's Greg Byrnes, ARN's Gold network head Sue Carter, SCA's Matthew O'Reilly and Ace Radio's Jon Vertigan with their thoughts on the survey results.

Jen Seyderhelm tells you how to enter the new Australian Audio Awards and hears about the behind the scenes moves that led to the launch of the new awards. Steve Ahern's advice is to start thinking about your entry now. "While you're preparing your Christmas best-of tape, put aside some material to use in your audio entry." He also explained to Jen the behind the scenes preparation that led to the awards announcement: "We have thought about the importance of radio and podcasting to Australia, so part of the judging criteril will include impact and how your work has helped to build the Australian audio industry... These will be part of all the other judging criteria you would expect for an entry." Tim Burrowes said: "When Steve and I realised were were both working on similar ideas, it made sense to work together... the audio sector in Australia is collegiate, so we're glad to work together on creating a ceremony that Australia's audio industry deserves."
