I can't see it being a massively long running number 1 either, but I can't see "Shape Of You" climbing back now either. I think it could fall to 3 or even 4 next week - not quite 1-5 in "One Dance" fashion but still not top 2.

 

"Symphony" would also make a great number 1 as I keep saying! I hope "Galway Girl" stalls at 2.

I can't see this being more than a 2 week at #1 to be honest (possibly only 1). Not because it's a bad song, but simply because it's not commercail enough. It'll make it this week for sure I'd say, but in the long run I think it's more of an album seller, and he'll do big album numbers off the back of the song.

 

I can see Symphony being #1 the next Friday or the Friday after.

 

 

I'm just hoping there is still life in the Clean Bandit track in 2 weeks time, I wouldn't mind seeing the track at #1 actually.

 

Also the new Fast & Furious film is out next week, I'm thinking something can drop next week from the soundtrack album.

that has to be the fastest climb to #1 we've had in a while!!!!

Wow @ Harry being No. 1 already, I'm gonna have to eat my words! It's very retro sounding, but I like that it's different from anything else around at the moment. I actually get more Oasis vibes from it than Bowie, I wonder if the whole album has that retro sound.

The new Harry Styles track is really credible (can't believe I'm saying that), was dreading it would be Ed Sheeran-esque, but no, it's good.....

I'm not a One Direction fan but his solo effect is just amazing, better than the previous acts from One Direction. I'm really feeling the 70s era David Bowie sound, errr... Oasis really... I can't really pin point them :mellow:

I can see Harry getting to stratospheric levels with this release already. His album is gonna be massive, maybe not Ed Sheeran 'Divide' levels, but I'd imagine he will easily smash the opening sales record for a solo male debut or something.

Plus he probably be in the limelight most of the summer with the summer blockbuster movie Dunkirk, making his debut as a actor, practically got a huge profile for the next 3 to 4 months.
