Ed Sheeran crowned King of the Castle in 2016/17 National Football Stadium Chart

New challengers Imagine Dragons fought hard, but there was simply no stopping Ed Sheeran’s dominance across football stadium public address systems during March and April 2017, as this latest chart reveals.

Last month’s Number One, ‘Human’ by Rag ’n’ Bone Man stays strong in the top five, alongside newcomers ‘Believer’ by Imagine Dragons, and high climber Manchester City loving Blossoms and Liverpool’s finest, Circa Waves.

Notable new entries include You Me At Six, Catfish & The Bottlemen, Kasabian and man of the moment, Stormzy.

However, with a busy fixture list over the final few weeks of the season, we expect to see a lot more movement on the next chart.

Our tips for new releases hitting football grounds this month include new material from Gorillaz, Calvin Harris, Royal Blood, Pixie Lott, Mr Jukes, Beth Ditto, Alt-J, Shy FX, The Charlatans and Drake.

The National Football Stadium Chart is complied monthly with football stadium DJ reactions from across the Premier League, EFL, Scottish League and Non League Football.
