Ed Sheeran believes Pharrell Williams is blessed with a special ability to foresee the future.

The Happy hitmaker and producer collaborated on Sheeran’s new track Sing, which became his first British number one at the weekend, and the latter reckons its success is all down to William’s clairvoyant ability after he made him change his mind about which song to release, reports contactmusic.com.

“I swear Pharrell has special foresight. I said I wanted to release Don’t (from the new album) as the first single,” Sheeran, 23, told the Daily Star newspaper.

“He said it should be Sing and it would do over 100,000 in the US and sure enough it’s doing 140,000. I owe him a hat or something,” he added.

Who does the US love more: guns or children?

There are many ways to judge the success or failure of a country. We can look at its economy, the strength of its military or the quality of its education. We can examine the soundness of our bridges or the smoothness of our highways. But what if we used a different standard? We should judge a nation by a simple metric: the number of weeping parents it allows, the small caskets it tolerates
