His Full Hot 100 Journey
Here is a quick look at how Styles has climbed to this point:
– His first No. 1 was “Watermelon Sugar,” which spent a week at the top of the chart in August 2020
– “As It Was” became his second Hot 100 leader in April 2022, eventually spending 15 weeks at No. 1 and becoming the best-selling global single of that year
– “Aperture” now makes it three, cementing his place among the biggest artists of his generation
The Album: Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.
The chart success did not stop at the single. Styles’ album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, earning 430,000 equivalent album units in its first week, with vinyl purchases alone accounting for 186,000 which is a record for a male artist in the modern era.
With this debut, Styles became the first solo artist to debut at No. 1 with his first four albums since Alicia Keys achieved the same feat between 2001 and 2007. That is the kind of company that puts things into perspective.
