Oh no, Niall! Your brand new album The Show Encore failed to chart in the UK Albums Top 100. Fine Line and Harry's House are there though!
Update: He's not on the Billboard 200 either.

How big is Harry’s House going to be - and can it match the streaming longevity of Fine Line?
The album is back at No.1 for its third non-consecutive week - the longest spell at No.1 for any act this year - and has sales to date of 224,842, according to the Official Charts Company.
Based on the first five weeks’ exclusive data from the OCC, Music Week can reveal that Harry’s House (Columbia) is outperforming Fine Line in the UK by almost 200% in terms of streaming consumption at the same stage of release. Fine Line was also, of course, a streaming success and chart fixture upon release.
Harry Styles even managed to beat Drake to No.1 in the UK this week as Harry’s House returned to the summit with weekly sales up 11.4% at 27,468. The new album has received a boost from his UK tour including two Wembley Stadium shows last weekend.

Harry Styles boasts fastest-selling album of the year to date with Harry’s House
Harry scores his biggest first week of chart sales ever with third studio album Harry's House
Tumblr media
Harry Styles scores his second UK Number 1 album with Harry’s House.
Officially 2022’s fastest-selling record to date, according to Official Charts Company data, Harry’s House doubles the singer’s previous personal best, achieving over 113,000 chart sales, proving the star’s biggest first week of sales so far. Debut record Harry Styles managed just under 57,000 UK chart sales in its first week in May 2017, while 2019’s Fine Line saw 49,000.
Fine Line also returns to the Top 10 this week (8), as his self-titled LP vaults back into the Top 40 (29).
Harry’s House tops this week’s Official Vinyl Albums Chart, too, with the record outselling the rest of the Vinyl Top 40 combined.

I'm not defending David Massey and Arista, but we should remember the timeline of following events. I assume this party (Dec 2018) was the moment the deed with Arista was done and Louis started preparing to put out the album. In February Variety officially reports Louis signed with Arista. The fans start to prepare for album release. And mere three weeks later, Felicity passes away. That changed everything, Louis probably completely stopped his plans and month later (April 2019) he suddenly releases his IG statement how he doesn't care for charts and he should start writing music he likes. And he writes, composes and records an album within 9 months, all this while he is still mourning. That's a very, very short time under massive pressure for Louis who needed to establish himself as solo artist. And I think Arista, as label who was for years disbanded just couldn't deal with that. They weren't prepared for this. They probably had to scrape the promo they've already planned for the original pop album and had to come up with something new within five months because the first single with the new sound, KMM, came out in September. And they failed.
Hi anon,
Most of Walls was written and recorded pre-2019.
The entire album was registered in September 2019.
The majority of songs, excluding the songs written with Jamie Hartman, were written prior to the X Factor 2018.
Always You was probably written and recorded in 2017.
Arista had a ready-made album. Massey just had to promote it properly.
But just like with Epic, the Sony subsidiary labels didn’t have freedom to promote Louis however they wanted. In August 2018, it was clear that any Sony-related promo would always be for the benefit of Harry Styles.
It’s very likely that the release of both Fine Line and Walls were pushed back because of Fizzy’s death, because the promotional magazines for Harry (the Rolling Stone cover, Face) were release three months too early for Fine Line.
Consequently, the promo schedule of Fine Line was almost uncannily laid on top of Walls promo.
I don’t think Massey could have done anything differently. Other Arista artists don’t have this weird sort of lack of promo, their music not sent to AllAccess, no attempt for playlists, no BBC or Capital FM radio play despite being in the UK Top 4 on Official Charts. Rob Stringer was calling the shots.
I think Massey was fond of Louis. He came to the show at Rough Trade on release day. But Louis’ partnership with Arista was already over by then, and he had to have known it.

Harry Styles tops Sony's biggest sellers again - Fine Line has now been dominant for over 18 months
Sony Music had a strong three months as it pulled in £1 billion in recorded music revenue.
According to figures for parent Sony Corp’s fiscal Q1 to June 30, recorded music revenues were up 54.8% year-on-year to 151.9bn yen (£999 million)
Recorded music streaming increased by 58.4% year-on-year in the quarter to 109.1bn yen (£717m).
But the standout result could be the performance of Harry Styles’ Fine Line (Columbia). First released in December 2019, Harry Styles’ second album was once again Sony Music’s biggest-selling recorded music project for the quarter based on revenue.
Music Week has been tracking the performance of the album at Sony. As well as finishing as the biggest-selling music project at the major during its fiscal 2020 (ending March 2021), it has now been No.1 for Sony Music for six out of seven quarters.
The only quarter it missed No.1 was Sony’s fiscal Q3 2020 (the final three months of the year), when AC/DC’s Power Up came out on top thanks to strong physical sales bringing in global revenue. Even then, Harry Styles was at No.2 for the quarter.
In the UK, Fine Line is the third biggest seller of the first six months of 2021 with 109,010 sales (Official Charts Company). Its total sales to date are 482,886 (including 338,060 from streams and 125,120 from physical copies), compared to 359,746 for Harry Styles’ self-titled debut.
The Grammy and BRIT-winning single Watermelon Sugar has racked up 1,481,542 chart sales, according to the Official Charts Company. It peaked at No.4 in the UK and made No.1 in the US Hot 100.
“Harry Styles’ album continues to motor, demonstrating the lasting impact of an album when it resonates with fans in the streaming market,” said Charles Wood, Sony Music UK’s VP of market planning and media, in Music Week’s Q2 analysis.
Physical music also had a good quarter at Sony (the year-on-year comparison is with the quarter last year when Covid first hit retailers). Physical revenue was up 63.8% year-on-year to 20.8bn yen (£138m).
Sony Music Publishing revenues in the quarter totalled 47.1bn yen (£309m), up 51.6%.

‘Fine Line’ by Harry Styles was the 2nd best selling album of the year in the UK
Tumblr media
Official figures released by record labels’ association the BPI, based on Official Charts Company data, show that recorded music consumption in the UK rose by 8.2% in 2020, with 155 million albums or their equivalent either streamed or purchased by fans. 
Eight of the best-selling artists on album format were British, led by Lewis Capaldi, Harry Styles and Dua Lipa – all three of whom also achieved nearly half a billion streams or more in 2020 in the UK alone and billions more streams globally. 
Harry Styles can celebrate a successful 2020 as a fully established global star, with his album Fine Line finishing up as the second biggest-selling album of the year. Released at the end of 2019, it was also the fifth biggest selling title on vinyl, fuelled by popular singles Watermelon Sugar and Adore You, which finished at tenth and sixteenth respectively in the end of year Official Singles charts. As well as being nominated for two BRIT Awards at the start of the year, Harry was nominated for three Grammy Awards in November.

Not only is Watermelon Sugar Harry Styles’ biggest single to date, the million-selling smash has a Grammy to its name, too. Now, the question is, could it be the first of many?
In a leather suit and feather boa, Styles performed the Fine Line favourite at the Grammys last weekend, going on to thank Sony Music Group CEO Rob Stringer, Full Stop Management’s Jeffrey Azoff, co-writer Kid Harpoon and the rest of his team in his acceptance speech. Blood Orange's Dev Hynes (above, left) and Styles' friend and collaborator Mitch Rowland (right) were part of his band on the night.
The award for Best Pop Solo Performance is Styles’ first Grammy, and there’s a sense that this moment had been coming for the singer, not to mention the ubiquitous Watermelon Sugar.
The track has 1,231,583 sales to date according to the Official Charts Company. A total of 1,104,219,723 Spotify streams and 198 million YouTube views show just how huge it has become. It has streaked ahead of his debut single Sign Of The Times (1,111,176) as his biggest in the UK. Adore You, his third million-seller, isn’t far behind on 1,024,195. Fine Line has moved 410,832 copies.
There’s no doubt that the No.2 album represents a watershed moment for Styles, and Kid Harpoon – Music Week’s Songwriter Of The Year 2020 – said just that in his recent Music Week interview, which told the story of Watermelon Sugar in our Hitmakers feature.
“As much as he’s been part of One Direction, it really feels like he’s shed the, ‘Of One Direction’ thing,” said Tom Hull. “I saw an article someone wrote saying you don’t have to say, ‘Of One Direction’ anymore and that’s a really nice moment, knowing him and what he’s been working towards.”
Hull told us that “big songs” are putting Styles on another level.
“When you come from something so commercially insane, you kind of have to deliver when you go solo, and he wanted to do that on his terms,” said Hull. “There were so many easier routes to get there than the ones he took, working with weird British dudes like me. I’m so buzzing for him. His vision was, ‘Let’s make an album,’ and it really feels like an album. I go back and listen to it and I absolutely love it, but I’m also excited by what’s to come form him. He’s still growing and learning and honing his songwriting skills and being a part of that is really exciting for me.”
Universal Music Publishing Group boss Mike McCormack also stressed the weight of what Styles has achieved with Fine Line.
“Remember, the album was released in 2019, so the fact that Watermelon Sugar was No.1 in the US eight months later is pretty crazy,” he said. “Sony have done an amazing job. And it completely validates Harry’s decision to do it his way. He would have had the pick of any of the biggest songwriters in the world, they would have wanted to be involved in Harry’s album. But he was adamant that they stick to this very small team and Tom is fortunate to be right at the epicentre of that steering the ship with Harry. It’s an incredible success story really. And it’s great that it’s British as well.”
There are no confirmed details of new music from Styles yet, but Hull suggested that ideas are in the pipeline.
“I just know he’s got more to give, which is kind of scary to be honest,” he said. “We’ve been doing bits and bobs, we’ve been sending voice notes and working on bits here and there, just lyrics and bits and bobs. Hopefully there’ll be something [new] at some point, I don’t really know where we are, but we’ve definitely been getting into it, we’ll see.”
Hull also revealed details of some unreleased songs the pair wrote together in Japan during a trip before the Fine Line sessions began.
“Harry was in Japan and he said, ‘Do you want to come out and write?’ and I said, ‘Why don’t I come and I’ll stay in a hotel room near you and we’ll hire a mic and some guitars and I’ll just bring my laptop,’” Hull explained. “It was a vaguely disguised lads’ trip, but we also wrote some really good songs. There’s a couple we’re still in love with. There was one that nearly made it to the record. We have a couple from there that are really special that hopefully will see the light of day at some point.”
Hull said he and Styles are “still obsessed” with the song, though he did not reveal the title.
“It’s the same as the Watermelon thing with this song,” he said. “It’s got… There’s a certain feeling in it, we’re just going to have to chip away at it and hopefully get it.”
Hull emphasised the importance of the closeness between Styles and his small group of collaborators, which includes Tyler Johnson and Mitch Rowland, adding that it led to a unique hitmaking experience.
“It was full of so many emotions of friendship, Harry feels like a brother to me, it feels deeper,” he said. “It feels like family, and the music was almost secondary to just being friends, which created a culture, an ease in the songwriting that you don’t get in a lot of other situations.”
With the BRITs approaching, all eyes are on what Harry Styles does next.

🎹Mon 14 Dec ‘20🎤
Zayn is back! Possibly for real this time! Yolanda Hadid posted a picture of him and Gigi from a year ago at their gender reveal party (spoiler: it’s a girl!!!), and following that Zayn uploaded a picture of himself in a studio with some lovely R&B synth style music floating around. This came on the two year anniversary of the Icarus Falls release, and it set twitter ablaze, immediately trending “Z3isComing” and “Zayn is Coming”. Alex Oriet (of #pizza and Saltwives fame) posted a snippet of Zayn’s new song and said, “What kind of Christmas Present do you want to get?”. Uh, if you’re taking recommendations, I would like to see THE NEW ALBUM - preferably before the end of the year! Anyways, here’s hoping this comeback sticks because OH MY GOD I need that album! 
Louis has spent the day raking in the compliments (as he should!), including an piece in the Independent! He's quoted from a pre show press release, saying, “performing for a live crowd is the most important thing to me, this live stream is a step back into that world and is something I can’t wait to film,” and “I want to put on a real show for the fans, with scale and production, creating something special to end 2020 on a positive, upbeat note and raise money for charities that are especially close to my heart. I also want to give my touring crew work, and raise some vital money for them, as without my crew the show literally couldn’t go on”. ThePulpConversation, CelebMix, and IHeart had similar praises, including calling Walls his “chart topping debut album” (*cough*) and calling  ‘Copy’ “one of the highlights”of the show, saying, “If this signals the way [he’s] moving forward musically for his second album then we think he’s gonna make one heck of an impact”. THANK YOU!! THIS IS WHAT WE’VE BEEN SAYING!! Notably silent about the whole affair: Arista, who we last heard from in October when Walls jumped all those charts, raising the question of whether he's still with them. As they were his label for the US only due to him being tied to Syco in the UK, and with Syco out of the picture, it is plausible that he is choosing to move forward with a single deal rather than one fragmented by region. That’s fine though, the rest of us are celebrating enough as it is, and whoever gets him for that deal (or already did) sure will be too! Charlie Lightening, Krystal, and Helene all put up BTS pictures, as did the camera team, who were the same ones who shot Niall's RAH show, and Helene added a heartfelt congratulations, saying, “The voice needs time to build strength, flexibility, and all things magical..Great Singers start way in advance before hitting the mic...I am happy to say we managed on Zoom...to prepare a big ass show vocally.. Where there’s a will, there’s a way and that… *mic emoji* *heart emoji*”.  Welsh production company Krupa welcomed their new followers and also confirmed the MASSIVE amount of money that Louis had raised! Charlie Lightning's pictures are, well, lightning in a bottle and I look forward to seeing them in moodboards here for years to come, and Krystal (Louis’ makeup artist) gave us a fun close up of Louis laughing backstage while she tries to fix his (recently trimmed?) hair. God, he’s beautiful. Alex Oriet is EVERYWHERE these days, because he took a break from hanging with Zayn to ask us all what we thought of ‘Copy’ - uh, AMAZING! 
Liam is back(ish)! He did a few promos for Naughty List and went on Roman Kemp’s show to talk about his upcoming Capital Up Close show, joking that he might be dressing up as the Grinch. Roman, of course, took that as his cue to do the voice (“eight o’clock, wallow in self pity, can’t cancel that again”), to which Liam burst out laughing and said, “I’ve been on the phone with about 12 people, I just can’t handle it”. ‘Tis the season, huh?  And their advent alarm today included...more terrible jokes! “What do you get when you eat Christmas decorations? Tinselitis!”.Also Maya posted a pic taken at Liam's place showing the framed pic of Liam and Louis from gogglebox in the background, still in its place of pride on the mantle. Quite right, I would do the same with a pic of me and Louis! For some belated Fine Line celebrations, Mitch Rowland posted some behind the scenes content, (and WHERE’S THE REST OF IT?), and Fine Line has officially been on Billboards Top 200 for A FULL YEAR NOW, AND it’s been in the top 25 THE WHOLE TIME! Iconic!  Harry had a late night on Instagram, which could totally be due to the fact that he was celebrating yesterday, but he followed another artist that’s signed to FullStop (Roddy Rich) and liked King Princess’ new music video announcement, who’s caption read (among other things), “working with your partner on a video is like having a best friend on set who you KNOW WILL MAKE U LOOK GOOD lmao”. #relatable. Not to me, but probably to him! Meanwhile, Niall promoted an Irish livestream taking place at the Guinness Storehouse. Find me a more Irish event, I DARE you.

Celebrations around the tenth anniversary of One Direction last month has led to a huge surge in streams and downloads of the band's back catalogue.
Promoted with the hashtag #10YearsOf1D, a decade since the band's formation was celebrated with an anniversary website that featured an archive of music videos, artwork, TV performances, behind-the-scenes and rarely-seen content, all in one place. The band's streaming profiles were also refreshed with reformatted EPs featuring b-sides and rare songs, remixes, live recordings and acoustic tracks.
Official Charts Company data captured across the last fortnight reveals that 24.8 million UK streams of the band's songs have been recorded in the days leading to and following the anniversary date of July 23. Three of the band's albums - Take Me Home, Made in the A.M. and Four - returned to the Official Albums Chart Top 40 last Friday.
Over the last two weeks, Harry, Liam, Louis and Niall's debut album Up All Night saw the biggest uplift in chart sales, rocketing 135%. Second album Take Me Home was their most streamed through the last fortnight and saw a 99% increase in total consumption.
The group's third album Midnight Memories has been their most downloaded over the past two weeks with a 106% rise altogether, while Four has seen the biggest increase in CD sales, and is up by 92% across all formats. There was also a 98% uplift for Made in the A.M..
When it comes to One Direction's singles, their most popular surrounding the anniversary has been their debut Number 1 hit What Makes You Beautiful, racking up 1.4 million streams. Close behind is 2013's Story Of My Life in second, while 2015's History is third overall but ranks as their most downloaded song of the period.
On this week's Official Singles Chart, Harry Styles' Watermelon Sugar could reach a new peak. The fourth single from his second album Fine Line sits at Number 3 on the Official Chart Update. 2020 has also been successful for Niall Horan who scored his first solo UK Number 1 album Heartbreak Weather and Louis Tomlinson whose debut solo album Walls is one of the Top 3 biggest debut albums of the year so far.

Harry Styles is developing into “one of the most accomplished artists of his era”, according to Wembley Stadium’s James Taylor.
Taylor is senior commercial manager at Wembley Stadium, and has spoken to Music Week about the singer’s upcoming shows at the London venue on June 18 and 19.
Yesterday (March 23) Styles announced the release of his third solo album, Harry’s House, which is due on May 20 via Columbia Records. Now, fans have a sure sign that Styles could air new material at his upcoming Coachella headline shows in April.
Styles was originally due to tour his second album, Fine Line, in the UK & Ireland in April 2020, only for the dates to be pushed back a year before being postponed indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic. The rescheduled dates in Glasgow, Manchester, London and Dublin were upgraded from arenas to stadiums. He won Tour Of The Year at the recent Pollstar Awards.
Fine Line peaked at No.2 in the UK albums chart and has sold 569,921 copies since its release in December 2019, according to the Official Charts Company. In that time, it has become a mainstay in the UK charts. Its biggest-selling track is Watermelon Sugar (1,745,260 sales), while Adore You has 1,262,931 sales and Falling has 1,036,258. Sign Of The Times, from the star’s debut album, is his other million-seller in the UK, with 1,288,868 sales.
As anticipation builds ahead of Styles’ return to the UK & Ireland, Taylor told Music Week that booking the two dates made for a record-breaking year at Wembley
“We have had Harry headline before as part of One Direction, but what an amazing achievement to come back off the back of such astronomic solo success,” said Taylor. “Ticket sales were very strong and the second show being added actually made 2022 a record year for Wembley Stadium. We will host 15 nights this year, which is a new Wembley record for concerts. It’s a great way to welcome fans back to Wembley after a two season absence due to Covid.”
As the venue prepares to welcome Styles to its stage once more, Taylor talks us through what to expect…
How was the booking process to get these dates in? And why is Wembley Stadium the right place for Harry's show?
“When you get to the scale that Harry has now reached, his management felt that Wembley Stadium was the logical next step for his career and we had no hesitation that the shows would do well. We were in a position to lock in the dates he announced and we pulled together a plan in partnership with his team. Harry was the biggest ticket seller worldwide in 2021 and that provided the basis to launch a stadium tour.”
What can we expect? Have you had any inklings of how it'll look and feel inside the stadium?
“Given there are now two sell-out shows I think we can expect an amazing atmosphere as we bounce back from two dry years of stadium concerts. You know a concert is popular and going to sell well by the amount of house list requests we get, and that was certainly the case both before the on-sale and soon after when the shows sold out quickly.”
How do you think the songs will go down? Fine Line has grown and grown since it came out…
“I’m sure the songs will go down well. Harry has a very devoted fanbase, and as we see with the likes of BTS, a devoted fanbase can create an unbelievable atmosphere in the bowl.”
Lastly, what do you think we will learn about Harry, his artistry and his abilities as a live performer from these gigs?
“Harry is fast developing into one of the most accomplished artists of his era and I think these solo shows at Wembley will cement that position. I believe he will likely go on to do several stadium tours in his career and we would very much welcome him back...”
