I can't stand Ed Sheeran's music. Why are his tunes popular?

The club isn't the best place to find a lover

So the bar is where I go

Me and my friends at the table doing shots

Drinking fast and then we talk slow

Come over and start up a conversation with just me

And trust me I'll give it a chance now

Take my hand, stop, put Van the Man on the jukebox

And then we start to dance, and now I'm singing like

Girl, you know I want your love

Your love was handmade for somebody like me

Come on now, follow my lead

I may be crazy, don't mind me

Say, boy, let's not talk too much

Grab on my waist and put that body on me

Come on now, follow my lead

Come, come on now, follow my lead

I'm in love with the shape of you

We push and pull like a magnet do

Although my heart is falling too

I'm in love with your body

And last night you were in my room

And now my bedsheets smell like you

Every day discovering something brand new

I'm in love with your body

(Oh-I-oh-I-oh-I-oh-I)

I'm in love with your body

(Oh-I-oh-I-oh-I-oh-I)

I'm in love with your body

(Oh-I-oh-I-oh-I-oh-I)

Because pleasing a given individual isn't required for it to be a hit

He’s one of the last of the leprechaun tribe.

Don't like!

Because most people have incredibly lame taste in music.

There was a day when folksy singers could still pull off being manly (Gordon L, JTaylor, even JDenver), but I feel like he is a colossal wuss. Too much for me. How's that for a bad reason to hate him?
