Harry Styles has the U.K. falling for “American Girls,” as the latest single from his fourth album tops the Official Singles Chart dated March 13.
Lifted from new LP Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, which landed March 6, the track debuts at No. 1. It marks Styles’ fourth chart-topper overall and second song to hit the top spot this year, after “Aperture” reached the summit at the start of February. Debut singles “Sign of the Times” (2017) and “As It Was” (2022) both hit the No. 1 spot in the U.K.
In this week’s chart, “Aperture” follows at No. 4, with Styles also rounding out the top five with Kiss All the Time highlight “Ready, Steady, Go!” (No. 5). The Official Singles Chart’s rules mean that only the three top songs from a lead artist are eligible to feature on any given week.
The LP landed straight in at the top of the Official Albums Chart, becoming his third No. 1 in the U.K. following his self-titled 2017 debut and 2022 LP Harry’s House.
To celebrate the release of Kiss All the Time, Styles returned to the stage with a huge One Night Only show at Manchester’s Co-op Live. The performance — which saw the 32-year-old play his new record in full, plus a greatest hits encore — was filmed for a Netflix special that arrived two days later on March 8.
The global superstar is currently gearing up for double duty as host and performer on this week’s edition of Saturday Night Live (March 14). Styles is no stranger to the comedy sketch show, having appeared multiple times on the bill both as a solo artist and as a member of One Direction over the years.
Olivia Dean and Sam Fender’s “Rein Me In” falls just one place to No. 2 following a three-week reign at the summit of the charts. Bella Kay’s “iloveitiloveitiloveit” slips one place to No. 3 following its massive rise in last week’s edition.
Madonna’s “Into the Groove” is back inside the top 20 following a recent viral streaming boost (No. 18), while Dominic Fike has two entries on this week’s chart with “Babydoll” (No. 13) and “White Keys” (No. 19). Tame Impala’s “Dracula” hits No. 17 following a remix with BLACKPINK’s JENNIE and gives Kevin Parker a new career-high.
