Harry Styles Joins Several Musical Legends Thanks To His Vinyl Success

The Official Charts Company is celebrating a major milestone, and the chart compiler has been pulling back the curtain to reveal which artists have ruled one of the U.K.’s most competitive tallies for the past decade. In honor of the vinyl chart’s 10-year anniversary, the organization has shared a list of the bestselling new vinyl albums (meaning non-catalog titles) in the country since 2015.

As expected, Taylor Swift dominates the list, but she’s not the only major name with more than one winner. Harry Styles also manages to appear multiple times inside the ranking’s top 10, as his fans don’t just snap up the music he releases – they make sure to do so in huge numbers on vinyl.

Harry Styles Claims Two Top 10 Bestsellers

Styles snags a pair of placements inside the top 10 on the Official Charts Company’s ranking of the most-purchased new vinyl albums of the past 10 years in the U.K. Unsurprisingly, only two other artists can claim the same.

His most recent full-length, Harry’s House, leads the charge at No. 3. Not far behind is Fine Line, which lands at No. 6 on the list. That collection marked a turning point in Styles’ solo career, featuring smashes like “Watermelon Sugar” and “Adore You,” both of which helped establish him not just as a rocker, but also a pop star in his own right.

All Three of Harry Styles’ Albums Are Top Vinyl Sellers

Styles’ two bestsellers put him in the company of Taylor Swift and David Bowie. Both musical giants also claim more than one title inside the top 10.

Looking beyond just the loftiest tier, Styles accrues one more bestseller. All three of his solo studio albums appear inside the top 20. His debut self-titled set, Harry Styles, isn’t quite a top 10 performer, but it does come in at No. 17.

Harry Styles’ Albums Have Dominated the U.K. Charts

Thanks at least in part to vinyl sales, Styles’ albums have also found success on the main Official Albums chart in the U.K., which tracks total consumption. Harry’s House made a grand entrance at No. 1 and remained a favorite for months. Fine Line came close to doing the same, peaking at No. 2 – his only miss – while Harry Styles also reached the summit back in 2017.
