Adele's the only one I need to sell more records than: Sheeran

Singer Ed Sheeran finds "Hello" songstress Adele his biggest competitor and he said "she's the only person I need to sell more records than".

The 25-year-old singing sensation revealed that he has set Adele as his benchmark to become the best-selling music artist, reported Conatctmusic.

"Adele is the one person who's sold more records than me in the past ten years. She's the only person I need to sell more records than," Sheeran told GQ magazine.

"That's a big feat because her last album sold 20 million. But if I don't set her as the benchmark then I'm selling myself short.
