Congratulations to Harry Styles, whose debut album lands straight in at Number 1 on this week’s Official Albums Chart.

The self-titled collection shifted just shy of 57,000 across physical, download and streaming equivalent sales to claim the top spot.

The record also tops this week’s Official Vinyl Albums Chart, with just over 3,000 copies on the format sold.

Harry becomes the second One Direction member to land at Number 1 solo album, following Zayn’s Mind Of Mine in April 2016.

Harry Styles’ album includes lead single Sign Of The Times, which debuted at Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart last month. The song rebounds to 6 this week, while another eight of the record’s ten songs land inside the Top 100.

Finishing behind Harry this week is Ed Sheeran’s ÷, which holds at 2, and Rag’n’Bone Man’s Human is at 3.
