Harry Styles Earns First No. 1 on Hot 100, Dethrones Ex Taylor Swift!

Harry Styles is number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time ever with his latest single “Watermelon Sugar.”

The 26-year-old singer happened to dethrone his ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift, who was number one on last week’s chart with her song “Cardigan.” That song dropped to number eight in its second week on the chart.

Harry is the second member of One Direction to go number one on the Hot 100, following Zayn, who achieved the feat with “Pillowtalk” back in 2016.

Harry‘s previous peak on the chart as a solo artist was with “Sign of the Times,” which reached number four in April 2017. As a member of 1D, he went to number two with “Best Song Ever.”

Taylor and Harry dated back in 2012 and he recently praised her songwriting skills in a new interview.
