Eyes Closed singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has done it again by topping the annual list of most played artists in the UK.

A company called PPL, who license music in the UK and make sure artists get paid when their songs are broadcast in public places, has released its list of the most-played songs and artists of 2023.

The list doesn't include the number of streams a song has - the data comes from UK plays on radio, TV, and in public places like shops, bars and restaurants.

Ed was beaten to the top spot of most played song in the UK by Miley Cyrus with her break-up smash hit Flowers.

The top two most played artists were Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift, who both released two full-length projects in 2023.

Ed released Subtract and Autumn Variations, whilst Taylor brought out two new re-recordings of old albums under her ownership, dropping the Taylor's Versions of both Speak Now and 1989.

Some classic artists also made the top ten, with Elton John dropping from number five to six since 2022, and Madonna returning to the list after the launch of her greatest hits tour last year.

The full list of top artists is below:

Miley Cyrus topped the PPL list as well as the most streamed song on Spotify last year with Flowers.

The Barbie movie was a big hit maker for Dua Lipa, with her song Dance The Night making number five on the list.

Taylor Swift scored two places on the most-played songs list with Anti-Hero and Cruel Summer, despite neither song being released in 2023!
