British singer Ed Sheeran continues teasing his new album. After announcing the release date of his new music, the gingerhead musician apparently reveals his album title. He took to Twitter on Tuesday, January 3 to post an animated cryptic graphic, which resembled a division sign.
The point of the graphic is to announce that Ed's new music will arrive Friday, January 6 at 5 A.M. GMT/midnight EST. But fans begin speculating that the cryptic graphic refers to Ed's third album, which possibly titled "/", pronounced "divide." The 25-year-old singer even has apparently launched a new website, 6thjanuary.com, to commemorate the date.

Ed has released two albums, which titles have a running math theme. His 2011 debut is named "+", pronounced "plus," while his 2014 album is titled "x", pronounced "multiply." He has also released his albums approximately every three years, so it makes sense if he will release his third album in 2017.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, he was asked whether - ("subtract") or / ("divide") could be future album titles. Ed said, "They're the two choices. But I don't know what direction the album's gonna go in yet." He continued, "Every title has its own theme. 'x' was called 'multiply' because it made everything that was on '+' bigger. From the venues to the songs to the radio plays to the sales."
