Great Records by English Artists

Beyonce/Sheeran


I grew up in the United States, but I was actually born in England. I don't have a British accent because I moved to the United States when I was one. Approximately 1/1000 of current United States residents were born in England.

Many of my favorite records are from English artists, including Coldplay. Coldplay performed with Beyoncé at halftime of the Bay Area Super Bowl eight years ago.

Beyoncé was featured on English artist Ed Sheeran's record
Perfect. This song was the first number-one song in the country six years ago (2018). Sheeran's Shape of You was the most popular song seven years ago (2017).

Every six years between 1965 to 1989 and every five years between 1992 and 2022, there was an amazing record (in my opinion) released by an English artist:

Year Record Artist
1965 Yesterday The Beatles
1971 Imagine John Lennon
1977 We are The Champions Queen
1983 Hold Me Now Thompson Twins
1989 Another Day in Paradise Phil Collins
1992 Tears in Heaven Eric Clapton

2002 The Scientist Coldplay
2007 Better in Time Leona Lewis

2017 Shape of You Ed Sheeran
2022 As It Was Harry Styles


Passenger and Parran were born in England in 1984.
