‘As It Was’ also became the longest-running Number One by a solo artist, overtaking Whitney Houston‘s ‘I Will Always Love You’ (1992) and Mariah Carey‘s ‘We Belong Together’ (2005), as well as the aforementioned ‘Candle In The Wind’.
In May, Styles achieved the rare feat of simultaneously holding the Number One album and Number One track titles with ‘Harry’s House’ and ‘As It Was’, respectively, in a number of countries.
Harry Styles revealed in August that he was already working on ideas for his fourth solo studio effort.
He’s due to return to the UK and Ireland next summer as an extension to his mammoth ‘Love On Tour’.
