Did y’all realize Harry Styles was a big dog like this?

Harry Styles just reminded the world how effortless a comeback can be. His new single, “Aperture,” debuted at #1 on the global Spotify chart with 12.478 million streams, officially locking in the biggest streaming day of 2026 so far. That’s impressive as hell.

It gets crazier. “Aperture” now holds the all-time record for the biggest global Spotify debut ever for a solo male artist and is comfortably projected to debut at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Early forecasts give it a 50+ chart point lead, which is basically a victory lap before the race even ends.

“Aperture” serves as the opening statement for Harry’s upcoming album, Kiss All the Time, Disco Occasionally, set to drop March 6, 2026. Released on January 22, the track wasted zero time making noise, racking up over 200,000 YouTube views in its first ten minutes like it was light work.

Sonically, this feels like disco that went to the future and came back cooler. The production is sleek, pulsing, and club-ready, blending electronic textures with dancehall and rave energy. Over it, Harry floats. His vocals are soft, clean, and oddly comforting, even while the beat is built to shake a room.

This moment hits harder when you remember that Harry’s last album, Harry’s House (2022), produced absolute monsters like “As It Was” (4B+ streams), “Late Night Talking” (1B+), and “Matilda” (700M+).

With Taylor Swift unlikely to release a project this year, Harry Styles could very well run away with artist of the year.
