Does this song sound like this one? Well, the Supreme Court doesn’t want to hear about it as Ed Sheeran escapes a court battle, and we have the story. On Monday, June 16, the high court refused to revive a long-running lawsuit that claimed Sheeran’s 2014 hit “Thinking Out Loud” infringed Marvin Gaye‘s famed 1973 jam “Let’s Get It On.” Sheeran has faced multiple lawsuits over the track that reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and ultimately spent 58 weeks on the chart. Ed’s legal accuser had asked the justices to hear the case, which was dismissed in November by a lower court that ruled the two tracks share only basic “musical building blocks.”

Are Sheeran’s legal issues behind him? We will keep you posted at Billboard.
