The group finished in third place, and shortly after, signed with Syco Records. One Direction went on to become one of the biggest boy bands of all time.
After five albums and four world tours, One Direction disbanded in 2016. This marked the beginning of Harry Styles’ solo career. A year later, he released the first single from his upcoming self-titled debut album.
“Sign of The Times” reached number one on the UK singles and number four on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. Rolling Stones magazine named it the best song of the year, with critics likening it to the styles of Queen and David Bowie. Its accompanying music video was also a giant success, winning British Video of the Year at the Brit Awards.
When Harry Styles released his self-titled debut album in May 2017, it topped the charts in several countries, including the US, UK, and Australia. In September that year, Styles embarked on his first headlining concert tour.
As if 2017 couldn’t get any bigger for Styles, the year also saw his feature film debut. He was cast as a soldier named Alex in the Christopher Nolan movie Dunkirk.
Styles switched to a role behind the camera in 2018, serving as executive producer for the television sitcom Happy Together. He also began modeling for Gucci that year, marking the beginning of his fashion evolution. With an affinity for high-waisted pants, pearls, and sparkles, Harry is well-known for his refusal to stick to the rules. Many fans delight in capturing and sharing his tour outfits on social media.
In 2019, Styles released “Lights Up,” the lead single from his much-anticipated second album. The song debuted at number three in the UK. Styles’ second album Fine Line dropped in December of the same year. Not only did it instantly top the US charts, the album broke the record for the biggest sales debut by a British male artist. It was also named one of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time by Rolling Stone magazine.
Fine Line produced five singles, including “Watermelon Sugar.” The song became Harry Styles’ first number-one single in the US.
Harry Styles was originally set to embark on a tour in 2020 to support 2019’s Fine Line. Unfortunately, it was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Thankfully, fans didn’t have to wait too long. The tour kicked off in 2021 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
In 2021, Harry Styles was nominated for three Grammy Awards, winning Best Pop Solo Performance for “Watermelon Sugar.” He also made a brief return to the big screen with a cameo appearance in Marvel’s “Eternals” film. He finished the year by launching his gender-neutral skin care line, Pleasing.
In 2022, Harry Styles dropped his third studio album, Harry’s House. The lead single, “As it Was,” debuted at number one in the UK and US. It topped the US charts for 15 consecutive weeks, making it the fourth longest-running number one single.
Harry’s House also topped both the UK and US charts, making Styles the first British solo artist to have four singles charting within the US Top 10 at the same time. At the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards, he won three awards, including Album of the Year.
Harry Styles' film career also continues to grow. He appeared in the 2022 thriller Don’t Worry Darling and the 2022 film adaptation of My Policeman.
As part of his ongoing Love On Tour, Styles has performed 15 sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden. The venue raised a permanent banner to mark his achievement. He’s the third artist in history to have received this honor.
From The X Factor stage to sold-out stadiums, Harry Styles has come a long way from his boy band roots. Thanks to his raw talent, excellent fashion sense, and down-to-earth personality, fans have joined him along for the ride
There are musicians and artists who can claim some experience in the world of show business, some from a relatively early age. Tinashe arguably trumps all of them, having been consistently modelling, acting and studying ballet, tap and jazz dance forms since the age of three.
She cut short her time at the Crescenta Valley High School in Los Angeles to focus on music full time. Vitamin C, the “Graduation (Friends Forever)” singer formed The Stunners when Tinashe was 14 and they were signed to Columbia six months later. The group released one E.P, toured with Justin Bieber and were going to record an album when they split in 2011.
The same year, Tinashe gave her first ever televised singing performance, in front of a live crowd of 57,000 at a baseball game and soon after that she signed with Universal records. If all this is sounding a little too Disney Princess for you, her first solo E.P, entitled “In Case We Die” cryptically enough, was recorded entirely herself in her home studio and saw comparisons to the likes of Frank Ocean and The Weeknd.
Since then her march to take over the world has taken her to the upper reaches of the Billboard charts, her single “2 On” peaked at number 24 on the Hot 100 and her debut album “Aquarius” went straight in at number 17 on the album charts.
The second single from that album, “Pretend” saw her working with A$AP Rocky and with that, it became clear that it’s only a matter of time before she becomes something of a legend. She is the perfect link between pop accessibility and the artist's touch of a true auteur. Join her for the ride and you will never forget it.
Amazing night , really took time to welcome the crowd.
Even stopped playing when someone fainted while they sorted it out!
Then began the song again tight from the beginning..
My daughter was very emotional and overcome by yhe whole evening, her dream come true..
Watching a live show, it’s great when the artist is a great performer as well as musician, and that’s why watching Tinashe was one of my favourite performances I’ve seen. She’s a phenomenal dancer, and her opening dance break to her drummers solo was a perfect and exhilarating way to start the show. She got the audience dancing along with her and as soon as she was passed a microphone, she thanked everyone for being there and introduces her band and even her dancers.
She opened the set by performing 2 On, where she got everyone to sing along wit her, and also created a back and fourth rap dialogue, where she would shout ‘I say 2, you say On’, and the audience would respond to her song. It was awesome to be involved with the show like that right from the beginning, and the atmosphere and her dedication to the audience remained sky high throughout the show.
She played through what seemed like almost the entirety of her new studio album pre release, and said that we were the first audience to hear it live, which was incredible. It was one of those shows that I’m never going to forget, the combination of the new material, incredible dancing, and spot on vocals was something I’ve never experienced before.
