Debate may rage on about Harry Styles‘ status as the “new King of Pop,” but what can’t be debated is his reign over the Hot 100 has been nothing short of historic!

See how inside.

Thanks to ‘As It Was,’ the Kid Harpoon-produced megahit found aboard the 2022 album ‘Harry’s House,’ Styles is found listed at #1 on the refreshed Hot 100 for a 15th week.

Already logged in history books at its 12th week atop the tally for being the longest-running #1 hit of the decade, it bested itself the next week when it became the longest-running #1 of the century by a solo male act.   Two weeks later, it becomes the longest-running #1 hit by a solo performer in the chart’s 64-year history.

Here are the numbers that powered its placement.

• Streaming: 13.5 milion
• Digital Downloads: 3,000
• Radio Airplay: 66 million all-format audience.

Now in an exclusive club of hit songs that have reigned 15 weeks or longer, look below to see the company Harry will be keeping in the Hot 100’s historic halls.
