Harry Styles’s debut single Sign of the Times, knocked Ed Sheeran’s Shape Of You 13-week run off the top of the UK charts, on this date. The former One Direction star achieved his first No.1 as a solo artist with this release – the first from his self-titled debut album.
Styles premiered the single, the first song to be heard from his debut solo album, on April 7, 2017 during the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast show. “It’s the song I’m most proud of writing, I think,” Styles told the host Nick Grimshaw, adding, “I wrote most of the album in Jamaica, I was in Jamaica for two months. I just wanted to not be distracted… I really liked being away from everything.”
