Posted January 7, 20232 yr From the OCC Harry Styles claimed the UK's Official biggest song of 2022 with As It Was, the Official Charts Company can confirm today. The lead single from Harry's third solo album Harry's House shifted 1.57 million chart units since its release in April 2022 to the year-end. As It Was also holds the distinction of being the UK's longest-running Number 1 of 2022, managing an epic 10 weeks at the top of the Official Singles Chart. The synth-pop track became Harry's second UK chart-topper, following 2017's debut single Sign Of The Times. As It Was also leads the pack as the most-streamed song of the year, totalling over 180.9 million audio and video streams, and best-selling across combined physical and digital sales with 65,000. Harry leads an all-British takeover of the Top 10 biggest tracks of the year in the UK, marking the first time ever that all ten of the year's most successful singles were released by, or featured, British artists - including Harry, Cat Burns, Scottish DJs LF SYSTEM, Sam Fender, Glass Animals and Kate Bush. It's the first time such a clean sweep for British music has happened since the music industry began publishing year-end sales charts more than 50 years ago.

January 7, 20232 yr It really has been Harry's year. Biggest single. Biggest album. Two movies. Successful tour. I'd say he's one of the most famous people in the world right now. You'd never think it of a 3rd era when the first only spawned one real hit single and looking at the solo careers of the rest of 1D. I bet all the traffic lights have been green this year when Harry's been out for a drive!! Edited January 7, 20232 yr by CJK
January 8, 20232 yr It was a huge year for Harry and well done on all he achieved, he will also continue to do well throughout 2023 even thought he probably wont release much.
January 10, 20232 yr It really has been Harry's year. I bet all the traffic lights have been green this year when Harry's been out for a drive!! :lol: Even though he hasn't had much praise for his movies they have still been pretty successful so he has pretty much swept the board in music and movies. He has the Marvel ones coming up too so will be interesting to see how his career progresses on that side of things and whether this affects his music career or boosts it (if that is possible)
