His identity isn't quite fully formed yet either — so much of it is clearly inspired by other artists, to the point where he's essentially just doing his own version of their work. I do think he has the potential to be a really great artist in the future though as all the foundations are there.

It just kinda washed over me after my few listens of it, which is a shame as I really enjoyed his debut. I'm really surprised by the mass hype around it and the generally positive reviews for it. But eh. I guess it's just not to my tastes.

Jord Joined: 12 March 2017 Posts: 10,770 User: 27,116	I think Harry will be a big selling #2. Stormzy will stream better and I think he’ll overtake. Plus if the signings rumours are true as well that may well help him. But Harry is much bigger WW and he’s slaying everywhere tbh what a star! I was nervous of him releasing Xmas week but he’s shown what a strong fanbase he has. sales wise he is smashing it!! And I think he’ll sell well in the long run too. I’ll be listening to the album at some point this week This post has been edited by Jordan Lee: 15th December 2019, 05:57 PM

WINTER IS COMING Joined: 7 March 2006 Posts: 45,597 User: 88	I'm reallly enjoying this album, I think it's much stronger than his debut. Totally agree about him borrowing lots of different artists styles and he's not really sure exactly what type of artist he is yet. That said, there's nothing wrong with that at all. You can certainly tell out of the other 1Ders, he certainly has the most money behind him, the production values are a world away from Liam and Louis for example. Falling surely the standout for a next single? Although Treat People With Kindness is my favourite.

Harry has really come through with his follow up album after also delivering a strong debut. The scene is now set for a successful third album when the time comes.

you never forget your first time... Pronouns: he/him Joined: 19 April 2011 Posts: 121,678 User: 13,530	QUOTE Harry Styles' 'Fine Line' Album Earns Huge No. 1 Debut on Billboard 200 Chart The set tallies the third-biggest week of the year for an album in the U.S. Harry Styles lands his second No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart, as his sophomore effort Fine Line makes a huge debut atop the list. The set, which was released on Dec. 13 via Erskine/Columbia Records, earned 478,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Dec. 19, according to Nielsen Music. That figure marks the biggest week for a pop album by a male artist in over four years, the largest week for a Columbia album in more than three years, and the third-biggest week overall for any album in 2019. It also scores the largest sales week for an album by a solo U.K. male artist since Nielsen Music began electronically tracking sales data in 1991. The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new Dec. 28-dated chart, where Fine Line debuts at No. 1, will be posted in full on Billboard's websites on Dec. 24. Of Fine Line’s total unit start of 478,000, album sales comprise 393,000; SEA units total 83,000 (equating to 108.7 million on-demand audio streams for the album’s songs); and TEA units equal 3,000. Styles’ Second No. 1 Album: Styles goes two-for-two at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, as Fine Line follows his previous No. 1, his self-titled debut album in 2017. The latter started atop the list dated June 3, 2017, with 230,000 equivalent album units earned in its first week and 193,000 of that sum in album sales. First U.K. Male Artist to Debut at No. 1 With First Two Albums: The England-born Styles is the first U.K. male artist to debut at No. 1 with his first two albums. (Further, only two solo U.K. male acts have debuted at No. 1 with their first albums: Styles and his former One Direction bandmate Zayn. The latter launched at No. 1 back in 2016 with Mind of Mine.) Third-Largest Week for an Album in 2019: Fine Line’s starting sum of 478,000 units marks the third-biggest week of 2019 for any album. Only the debuts of Taylor Swift’s Lover (869,000; Sept. 7 chart) and Post Malone’s Hollywood’s Bleeding (489,000; Sept. 21) landed larger frames. Biggest Week for a Pop Album by a Male Artist in Four Years: Fine Line’s blockbuster bow yields the largest week for a pop album by a male artist in over four years. The last set to notch a bigger week was Justin Bieber’s Purpose, which entered at No. 1 on the Dec. 5, 2015-dated chart with 649,000 units. (Pop albums are those that did not chart on a genre-specific tally such as Alternative Albums or Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, etc.) Columbia Records’ Biggest Week Since 2016: Fine Line -- released via Erskine/Columbia Records -- gives Columbia its largest overall week for an album since the May 14, 2016-dated chart, when Beyoncé’s Lemonade (on Parkwood/Columbia) bowed at No. 1 with 653,000 units. Fine Line also logs the largest week for any album released by a Sony Music label in over a year. The last larger week registered by a Sony release was the debut of Travis Scott’s Astroworld (on Cactus Jack/Epic Records), when it started at No. 1 on the Aug. 18, 2018, chart with 537,000 units. *‘Fine Line’ Is Already Among 2019’s Top 10-Selling* Albums: After only one week in release, Fine Line is the sixth-largest selling album of 2019. Fine Line, which sold 393,000 copies in its debut week, was bolstered by sales generated from a concert ticket/album sale redemption offer with his upcoming tour, as well as an array of merchandise/album bundles sold via his official website. So far in 2019, the top-selling album in the U.S. is Taylor Swift’s Lover, with 1.05 million copies sold. Largest Sales Week for a U.K. Male Artist in Nielsen Music History: Fine Line’s debut sales of 393,000 is the largest sales week for an album by a solo U.K. male artist since Nielsen Music began electronically tracking sales data in 1991. It surpasses the 374,000 sold by Eric Clapton’s Unplugged album over Christmas week of 1992 (reflected on the chart dated Jan. 9, 1993). Both Styles and Clapton were born in England -- Styles in Redditch, Worcestershire, and Clapton in Ripley, Surrey. (The largest sales week for an album by a female U.K. artist -- and for any album -- remains the debut of Adele’s 25 in 2015 with 3.38 million sold. The largest sales frame by a U.K. group is the 1.26 million sold by The Beatles’ greatest hits set 1 over Christmas week of 2000.) Fourth-Biggest Vinyl Sales Week in Nielsen Music History**: Fine Line was also a big seller on vinyl LP, as the album sold 28,000 copies on the format in its debut week. The only larger weeks for a vinyl album since Nielsen Music launched in 1991 were garnered by Adele’s 25 in the week ending Dec. 24, 2015 (31,000), Pearl Jam’s Vitalogy in its opening week (34,000 exclusively on vinyl LP in the week ending Nov. 27, 1994, before it became widely available on CD) and Jack White’s Lazaretto in its debut week (40,000; June 14, 2014). https://www.billboard.com/articles/business...m_medium=social Absolutely phenomenal!!!

you never forget your first time... Pronouns: he/him Joined: 19 April 2011 Posts: 121,678 User: 13,530	Second week at #1 on the Billboard 200!!!! QUOTE Harry Styles’ Fine Line album leads the Billboard 200 chart for a second week, as the set earned 89,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Dec. 26, according to Nielsen Music. That’s down 81% compared to its debut a week earlier, when it blasted in atop the tally with 478,000 units. The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). The new Jan. 4, 2020-dated chart (where Fine Line holds at No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard's websites on Dec. 31. Of Fine Line’s overall second-week unit sum, album sales comprise 47,000 of that figure -- down 88% compared to its first-week sales figure of 346,000. Fine Line is the first pop album to spend two weeks at No. 1 since Ed Sheeran’s No.6 Collaborations Project set also spent its first two weeks in charge, on the charts dated July 27 and Aug. 3, 2019. (Pop albums are those that did not chart on a genre-specific tally such as Alternative Albums or Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, etc.) Additionally, Fine Line, which is Styles’ second No. 1, has now surpassed the one-week reign of his self-titled debut.
