Despite not arriving until late in the March 19-25 tracking period, Ed Sheeran’s “Eyes Closed” makes a big splash on this week’s Mediabase hot adult contemporary and pop radio charts.

The new single, which appears on Sheeran’s forthcoming album “-“, starts in the Top 25 on this week’s Hot AC listing and Top 30 on the pop chart.

“Eyes Closed” specifically earns #23 at Hot AC, courtesy of the 927 spins it received during the official tracking period.

A pop spin count of 1,807 concurrently yields a #29 bow on that format’s Mediabase airplay chart.
