March 31, 20223 yr Only 1 of Harry's singles has ever hit the Number 1 spot - despite huge songs from the last album, none of them ever made it. No, but his last album has stayed around for a while plus he launched the campaign with 'Lights Up' which is arguably the weakest of the singles off the album, so if he puts out a strong track, he should do well.

I agree - but my point was just because he's releasing its not automatically going to be Number 1. He had a great last album and had massive continued success with it, so yeah is in a strong position going forward into this era. Edited March 31, 20223 yr by ElectroBoy

He had a great last album and had massive continued success with it, so yeah is in a strong position going forward into this era. I don't see why he can't easily sail to the top, sales aren't exactly high right now and he's a major star compared to when the Fine Line era began.
March 31, 20223 yr Exactly plus Dave has had a massive tumble in streams this week so he's no longer the strong challenge he was a couple weeks ago
March 31, 20223 yr Yeah I would say he’ll get a lot of curious listens with whatever he releases tomorrow. Fine line seemed to have a fairly broad appeal compared to his first album. So he could do a one week wonder like sign of the times did. Edited March 31, 20223 yr by Supercell
March 31, 20223 yr I swear if MIMI FRICKING WEBB prevents 'The Motto' from attaining a top 10 place THIS X1000000
March 31, 20223 yr I'm not going to say it's a guaranteed #1, that's almost jinxing it, but I do think Harry has a good chance of reaching the top with As It Was. The level of hype is extremely high and I don't think the lack of #1s from the Fine Line era means anything - the biggest hit was post-album and we know Watermelon Sugar vastly overperformed for a post-album single (as did both Falling and Golden, in an era where post-album singles seem dead in the water for the most part). Watermelon Sugar is now the biggest 1D-related hit and Fine Line's had a better run than most albums in recent years, plus his profile has only grown too. Nothing's guaranteed but I think he's in as good a position as possible!
March 31, 20223 yr We have had quite a lot of post album release hits in recent times. Doja Cat, Bieber etc.
March 31, 20223 yr We have had quite a lot of post album release hits in recent times. Doja Cat, Bieber etc. More than the couple of years prior perhaps but they're still a much rarer thing than they once were. Doja's two post-album singles (Need to Know and Woman) were TikTok-fuelled rather than label-pushed initially (meanwhile current single Get Into It, pushed as a single months after it went viral on TikTok, is lingering low top 100), while Ghost was another case of outperforming expectations I think it's fair to say!
March 31, 20223 yr Surely the return of Harry Styles is one of the most anticipated releases of the year after the success of the last era!
