Harry Styles has scored the biggest album week of 2026 so far as Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 430,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States. The figure, reported for the chart dated March 21, reflects activity from the tracking week ending March 12 and gives Styles his fourth consecutive chart-topper.
Every solo release from the former One Direction member has now opened at No. 1. His self-titled 2017 debut started the streak, followed by Fine Line in 2019 and Harry’s House in 2022 before the arrival of his latest project this week.
Styles becomes only the second solo male artist to see his first four chart entries debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The only other act to accomplish that feat remains DMX, who launched his first five albums atop the chart between 1998 and 2003. Another milestone places him alongside Alicia Keys. Styles is the first solo artist since Keys to debut at No. 1 with their first four chart entries, matching a run she achieved between 2001 and 2007.
The 430,000-unit debut marks the biggest week for any album in five months. Only Taylor Swift’s blockbuster The Life of a Showgirl posted a larger frame recently, opening with 4.002 million units in late 2025. Among male artists, the week stands as the largest since Morgan Wallen debuted I’m the Problem with 493,000 units in the May 2025.
Before Styles’ arrival, just two albums had crossed the 200,000-unit mark in 2026: J. Cole’s The Fall-Off with 280,000 and Ateez’s Golden Hour: Part. 4 with 200,000. Both numbers now sit far behind the British pop star’s opening total.
