    Probably because Elvis Costello hasn’t been relevant for 25 years.

    It's a long time since Elvis Costello was this year's model. :(

    Some of still listen to him, though. I had this one playing earlier in the week. Classic.

    Don't mind a bit of Elvis Costello. Never heard an Ed Sheeran song I liked though. I'm sure he's a lovely guy, but his music is insipid nonsense.

    This Elvis C tune is great. Side note, The X-files album, Songs in the key of X is exceptional.

    Elvis doesn't belong to anyone.

    Did anyone find Josh Widdicombe remotely funny.
    Re EC and ES. Neither do anything for me.
    But tbf. Ed’s popularity is current.
    Was Rod on summat.

    To be fair, I looked on catch-up but realised it was mainly a variety of singers…. Not the usual variety of acts do gave it a miss…

    If we ignore musical tastes for a second, and just Google Ed Sheeran record sales, you'll see that he's sold 80m singles worldwide. When you Google Elvis Costello record sales, you get an advert for a Red Hot Chili Peppers Album.
