OK, so there's a bit of humble bragging in there along the lines of "sure I'm ALWAYS number 1 so I can do without it Christmas Week", but he's still raising awareness and needn't have bothered his hewp. Yes, it's some positive press for him, but let's just cast the cynicism aside for a moment - it is Christmas, after all, etc etc.Â
It all started off when he retweeted the man responsible for his fame, Scooter Braun.Â
Hmmm. @justinbieber @edsheeran time to do the right thing boys. #giveback https://t.co/B8Q6TgNXri

so for 1 week it's ok not to be #1. Let's do the right thing & help them win. It's Christmas. @Choir_NHS good luck https://t.co/ORCtFY1k4i

This is what it's all about. Merry Christmas :)

OK, so let's overlook the fact that Braun pretty much backed him into a corner - it's Christmas. Goodwill to all men!!
As for Ed Sheeran, no word back from him as he's quit social media to go see the world with Niall Horan and Hozier. Yep, Hozier is now reportedly joining them too. Hope you've got some disguises on the go, lads!
