Harry Styles Scores Massive Chart Win With Fastest-Selling Male Solo Album in Nearly a Decade

HARRY Styles is celebrating a huge new milestone.

The pop superstar’s fourth studio album, “Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally,” has debuted at No. 1 on the Official Albums Chart, becoming the fastest-selling album by a male solo artist in almost a decade.

According to Official Charts Company data, the album sold more than 183,000 copies in its first week, outperforming Styles’ 2022 release “Harry’s House” by around 70,000 copies.

The project also dominated the vinyl market, topping the Official Vinyl Albums Chart with more than 66,000 copies sold — the biggest vinyl opening week of Styles’ career and the top-selling vinyl release of 2026 so far.

Adding to the success, Styles’ single “American Girls” also landed at No. 1 on the Singles Chart, giving the singer a major double-chart victory.

The achievement marks the biggest opening week for a male solo artist since Ed Sheeran’s “÷ (Divide)” in 2017.

Early reactions to the album have praised it as bold, playful and experimental, with critics highlighting its mix of disco, rock and funk influences. The record explores themes including relationships, adulthood and loss of innocence.

The chart triumph comes as Styles continues a major promotional run, including a recent “One Night Only” show in Manchester celebrating the album’s release and an upcoming hosting appearance on “Saturday Night Live.”

Already one of pop’s biggest stars, the former One Direction member appears to be reaching another career high with his latest era.
