In just a few days, Harry Styles will score a new smash on charts all around the world, as his latest single, “Aperture,” is expected to debut in lofty positions. The track, the first official single from his upcoming fourth solo album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., stands a great shot at launching at No. 1 on various tallies, especially in his home country of the United Kingdom.
Anticipation around the release of “Aperture,” which quickly soared to the summit on iTunes, helps all three of Styles’s full-lengths return to the charts across the Atlantic, with the trio finding space on multiple tallies at the same time.
Harry’s House and Fine Line Return Together
Styles’s two most recent projects, Harry’s House and Fine Line, break back onto four tallies apiece. The same four, in fact. The blockbusters settle inside the top 40 on the Official Albums chart, which lists the most consumed full-lengths and EPs of any genre across the U.K.

Harry’s House is the bigger winner, coming in at No. 32, while Fine Line sits only a few spaces behind, as it settles at No. 37.
Harry Styles Nets Multiple Top 40 Bestsellers
Those two titles are also top 40 winners once more on the Official Albums Streaming chart, meaning both Harry’s House and Fine Line enter that special region on half of all the rosters on which they return. Harry’s House blasts back onto the list of the most-streamed collections in the U.K. at No. 29, while Fine Line appears just two spaces further south, at No. 34.
The New Harry Styles Singles Helps His Albums Become Bestsellers
The release of “Aperture” helps turn Styles’s two projects into bestsellers as well as powerful streamers. Harry’s House loses out to Fine Line in this regard, as the former appears in the lower reaches of both the Official Physical Albums and Official Albums Sales tallies. At the same time, Fine Line breaks back in nearly 20 spaces further north on the pair of tallies that look only at purchases throughout the U.K.
Harry Styles’s Debut Album Also Enjoys a Comeback

Harry Styles, the self-titled debut solo collection from the musician himself, also mounts a comeback, though one that is not quite as impressive as either Harry’s House or Fine Line. Harry Styles does not manage to make a home on either the Official Albums Streaming tally or the Official Albums chart. Instead, it comes in at No. 64 on the Official Physical Albums list and No. 66 on the Official Albums Sales roster.
Harry Styles’s Albums Have Hit No. 1 – Almost All of Them
Both Harry Styles and Harry’s House – interestingly, the two sets that include his name – have already spent time at No. 1 on all the rankings on which they currently appear. Fine Line, meanwhile, never made it to the summit on any of the four rankings where it lands this time around. Fine Line peaked at No. 2 on all but the Official Physical Albums roster, where it stalled at No. 4.
Hundreds of Weeks on the Charts
In almost every case, all three of Styles’s albums have spent 100 weeks or more as a top performer, mega streamer, and bestseller. Only Harry’s House has missed reaching triple-digit frames on the Official Albums Sales and Official Physical Albums lists, though it’s not far away from that milestone. If Harry’s House can manage to collect just a few additional stints on the two rosters, the Grammy winner for Album of the Year will pass 100 turns.
“Aperture” Is Headed for an Impressive Debut
Styles is aiming for his third No. 1 in the UK, where “Aperture” may launch in just a few days. His debut solo cut, “Sign of the Times,” spent just one frame running the Official Singles chart, while “As It Was,” which fronted Harry’s House, racked up 10 stays in the peak position.
Several other popular tunes, such as “Late Night Talking,” “Music for a Sushi Restaurant,” “Lights Up,” “Watermelon Sugar,” and “Adore You,” have all spent time inside the top 10 on the list of the most-consumed tracks in the nation, but none of them managed to climb all the way to No. 1.
