Other singles from the album also occupy high spots on the UK Singles Chart with ‘Aperture’ at number four and ‘Ready Steady Go’ at number five. Styles also completed the chart double in 2022 with ‘Harry’s House’ and its first single ‘As It Was’.

The success of ‘Kiss All The Time, Disco Occasionally’ marks the biggest opening week for a male soloist since Ed Sheeran’s Divide which was released in March 2017. Harry’s latest album is the first to surpass 100,000 weekly sales since Taylor Swift’s ‘The Life Of A Showgirl’ in October 2025. Olivia Dean’s ‘The Art Of Loving’ and Morrissey’s ‘Make-Up Is A Lie’ take up the second and third sports on the albums chart respectively.

Styles is set to take the album on tour starting in May with dates in the UK, Europe, South America, North America and Australia with support from acts including Shania Twain, Jorja Smith and Robyn. Ahead of the shows, the British singer also performed for one night only in Manchester and released a showing of the performance of Netflix allowing fans to get a taste of what might be to come.

The 31 year old came to fame on the ITV’s The X Factor in 2010 alongside Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, and Louis Tomlinson as a part of One Direction. Following the group’s hiatus, Harry Styles released his first album in 2017. ‘Harry Styles’ peaked at number one in the UK and the US and was one of the world’s top-ten best-selling albums of the year. His second album ‘Fine Line’ and it’s most popular single ‘Watermelon sugar both topped US Billboard Charts. Whilst, his third album ‘Harry’s House’ received the Grammy Award for Album Of the Year.

Most recently, Styles was both the musical guest and host on SNL. Last night, he performed ‘Dance No More’ and ‘Carla’s Song’ as well as taking part and showing his acting prowess in many skits. Styles has dipped his toe into acting with a cameo in Marvel’s Eternals, as well as leading roles in My Policeman and Don’t Worry Darling.
