Harry Styles has become one of the defining pop-rock artists of the 2020s, both on U.S. charts and globally. His third album Harry’s House and its lead single As It Was remain core catalog staples in streaming playlists, years after release. The continued presence of these songs underlines how his solo career has moved far beyond his origins in One Direction.

What the charts say about Harry’s House

When Harry’s House arrived in May 2022, it debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 521,500 equivalent album units in its first week, the biggest U.S. week of Styles’ career to that point according to Billboard’s chart report. The album combined strong vinyl sales, digital purchases and heavy streaming to enter at the top. It also gave Styles his second solo No. 1 on the Billboard 200 after Fine Line.

On the singles side, As It Was proved even more dominant. The track debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 2022 and spent 15 weeks at the top in the U.S., one of the longest reigns of the decade on that chart according to Billboard’s coverage. This run confirmed Styles as a core Top 40 presence beyond any boy-band legacy.

Streaming strength and global reach

While its initial chart run is over, As It Was has crossed the 3 billion streams mark on Spotify worldwide, making it one of the platform’s most played songs ever, according to Spotify’s public chart data at the end of 2023. That long-tail streaming keeps Styles visible on global playlists years after release.

In parallel, Harry’s House has maintained a steady presence on catalog and global album lists. In several markets it returned to the upper regions of national charts during 2023 tour legs, highlighting the feedback loop between live activity and streaming for Styles’ catalog, as reported by outlets such as the UK Official Charts Company.

How Harry Styles’ music sounds

Across his three solo albums, Styles has leaned into a hybrid of classic rock, pop and singer-songwriter influences. Harry’s House brought a warmer, sometimes funk-tinged sound, with tracks like Late Night Talking and Music for a Sushi Restaurant adding brass, synth textures and a more playful tone, as highlighted by reviews in publications such as Pitchfork.
