‘Harry’s House’ is the third of Harry Styles solo albums
Harry’s House is the third of Styles’ highly successful solo albums. However, it can be difficult for some fans to recall his humble beginnings.
Styles broke into the entertainment industry in 2010 at 16 on The X Factor. Alongside Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, and Zayn Malik, they surpassed all expectations set by producer Simon Cowell as One Direction. The singing group released five albums in as many years, from 2011 to 2015, and sold over 70 million units worldwide.
When the band went on an indefinite hiatus in Jan. 2016, Styles got to work on his first album, Harry Styles, which became one of the best-selling albums of 2017. He segued into 2019’s Fine Line, which debuted at number one on the US Billboard charts. It also achieved the highest first-week sales by a British male act in the United States
Subsequently, in June 2022, all 13 songs from Styles’ third release, Harry’s House, charted on Billboard’s Hot 100 singles chart.
