Harry released his third record, Harry’s House, just last week, but it has already taken the UK by storm. At the time of writing, each song from Harry’s House is among the top 20 listened Spotify songs.
And according to new information from HMV, the former One Direction star is about to enjoy another number one album.
HMV reports that Harry’s house “beats the rest of the top 40 [albums] sum”.
This is largely due to the 28-year-old’s vinyl sales.
The record came in a number of variants, including standard black, yellow, blue and orange – all produced in varying shades of “limited edition.”
A HMV spokesperson said, “Harry’s House is set to become the best-selling album of the year so far. His vinyl sales have hit the roof, and this week the album will sell more than the rest of the other 40 combined.”
The spokesperson added, “Despite only coming out on Friday, yellow vinyl quickly reached the top of our bestseller this week.”
This means that it will undoubtedly knock Florence and her new instrument album, Dance Fever, from the top spot, while skipping the top ten by Ed Sheeran, Olivia Rodrigo and Little Mix.
But it’s not all good news for Harry’s fans. The continued success of the star’s solo career means that a One Direction reunion is becoming less and less likely day by day.

Alex Abate of Ladbrokes said, “The bad news for Directioners is that a 2022 reunion looks increasingly unlikely. However, the good news is that fans won’t have to wait long to see the boys together if the latter prospects are unlikely to go by.”
And it’s easy to see why Harry didn’t want to give up his solo career to return to the boy band. Harry’s House’s impending first place means the Watermelon Sugar singer’s three albums have reached #1 worldwide.
His debut single, Harry Styles 2017, reached number one in over six countries and reached platinum position.
But with his sophomore record, Fine Line of 2019, Harry really took his stride. It reached number one in over seven countries and went multi-platinum – largely thanks to singles including Sugar Melon and Adore You.
The album was nominated for Album of the Year at the 2020 Brit Awards, before winning a Grammy for Best Pop Solo Performance in 2021 for Watermelon Sugar.
Since then, Rolling Stone has ranked it number 491 on their list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time – making it the latest album to be included in the prestigious list.
Later this year, Harry is taking a stadium tour around the UK and Europe to celebrate the release of his new album.
