Harry Styles’ new single “Aperture” debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The achievement arrives just one day after Styles presented Album of the Year to Bad Bunny at the 2026 GRAMMYs and celebrated his 32nd birthday on the same date.
With “Aperture,” Styles earns his third Hot 100 No. 1 and his second to debut directly at the summit. He previously entered at No. 1 with “As It Was” in April 2022, which went on to lead the chart for 15 weeks, becoming one of the longest-running No. 1 hits in history. His first chart-topper, “Watermelon Sugar,” spent a week at No. 1 in August 2020.
“Aperture” serves as the lead introduction to Styles’ upcoming fourth solo album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., due March 6. Last week, the song also opened at No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart, in a rare achievement that saw fellow former One Direction bandmate Louis Tomlinson topping the Albums Chart with How Did I Get Here?
Elsewhere on this week’s Hot 100, Olivia Dean celebrates her Grammy triumph with “Man I Need” rising to No. 3. Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” reaches a new peak at No. 2. Bruno Mars’ “I Just Might,” which spent its first two weeks at No. 1, slips to No. 6. HUNTR/X’s “Golden” holds at No. 4. Taylor Swift places two titles in the top 10, with “The Fate of Ophelia” at No. 5 and “Opalite” steady at No. 10, while sombr and Kehlani round out the upper tier.
