Martin Talbot, Chief Executive Officer, Official Charts, said: “It’s exactly 15 years this year since One Direction topped the Official Singles Chart for the first time with ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ and, after Robbie Williams showed last week just how resilient our pop group member-turned-officially-solo-star can see this chart again, and Louis could see this chart again. week A reminder (if we ever needed one) of the timeless appeal of the world’s undoubtedly favorite boy band of the 21st century.”
‘Aperture’ is Harry’s third solo UK number one single, and is the lead single from his upcoming album Kiss all the time. Disco sometimes. The global sensation recently announced a massive seven-city Together, Together residency, which will feature a record 12 nights at London’s Wembley Stadium.

Speaking exclusively to Official Charts on the triumph, Louis said: “I can’t quite believe I’m saying this, but How Did I Get Here is the official number 1 album of the week.
