Harry Styles has reached another major milestone in his glittering music career after his brand-new album Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally rocketed straight to the top of the UK charts — becoming the fastest-selling album by a male solo artist in almost ten years.
The 32-year-old singer released his fourth studio album last Friday, and it immediately dominated the Official Album Chart, while the track American Girls also surged to Number 1 on the Singles Chart.
According to the Official Charts Company, the record sold more than 183,000 copies in its first week — an astonishing figure that surpasses the opening week of his 2022 album Harry’s House by around 70,000 copies. It also marks the biggest opening week for a male solo artist since Ed Sheeran released ÷ (Divide) in 2017.
Vinyl sales have been equally extraordinary. Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally topped the Official Vinyl Albums Chart and delivered the biggest vinyl debut of Harry’s career, shifting over 66,000 copies in just seven days. That figure comfortably beats the 36,000 vinyl sales achieved by Harry’s House and also makes the album the best-selling vinyl release of 2026 so far.
The record itself showcases a vibrant mix of sounds. Critics have noted influences ranging from disco and rock to Prince-style funk, alongside nods to bands like LCD Soundsystem and The Durutti Column.
The album includes tracks such as Aperture, American Girls, Ready, Steady, Go!, Are You Listening Yet?, Taste Back, The Waiting Game, Season 2 Weight Loss, Coming Up Roses, Pop, Dance No More, Paint by Numbers and Carla’s Song.
Early reviews have praised Harry’s artistic evolution, describing the album as his “most playful, bold and experimental to date.” Critics also highlighted his willingness to explore personal themes, with the singer reflecting on relationships, adulthood and the loss of innocence.
Harry’s chart triumph arrives just days before he is scheduled to host Saturday Night Live, adding even more excitement to an already triumphant moment in his career.
Away from music, the former One Direction star has also been quietly building a lucrative financial portfolio. Through his company Erskine Investments Ltd, Harry reportedly holds nearly £40 million in investments and has earned around £2.5 million in profits from strategic stock market deals. Newly released company accounts show the firm holding £27 million in listed investments and a further £12 million in short-term deposits.
His financial success mirrors his continued dominance in music. The singer’s fortune was estimated at £225 million in the most recent Sunday Times Rich List, placing him among the wealthiest musicians in the UK.
Harry first rose to global fame as a member of One Direction before launching a hugely successful solo career, producing global hits including Sign of the Times, As It Was and Watermelon Sugar.
To celebrate the release of his new album, Harry hosted an intimate One Night Only concert at Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena last week. During the sold-out performance, he debuted several songs from the new record before closing the show with fan favourites like Golden and As It Was.
The emotional night also included a heartfelt moment when Harry addressed the crowd with a message about unity and compassion, telling fans that the world “could use a little extra peace right now.”
Tickets for the special show were distributed through a ballot and cost just £20, making the once-in-a-lifetime event accessible for lucky fans who managed to secure a place.
