This earns the Doncaster-born star his second chart-topping solo release, following 2022’s Faith In The Future. His solo debut, 2020’s Walls, peaked at Number 4 in the UK.
Speaking on the triumph, Louis Tomlinson exclusively tells Official Charts:
“I can’t quite believe I’m saying this, but How Did I Get Here is this week’s Official Number 1 album. I’m so incredibly grateful for all the passion and dedication of the fans to help make it all possible. THANK YOU!”
Louis also tops this week’s Official Vinyl Albums Chart, shifting the most copies on wax over the past seven days.

INDI also tops the Official Record Store Chart, selling the most sleeves in independent record stores this week.
