Harry Styles just got his first number one on the Billboard Charts and his fans are losing it

Congratulations Harry!

Harry Styles just made career history with his first song to make number one on the Billboard Charts. Overnight, Billboard announced that Mr. Stylesโ€™s โ€œWatermelon Sugarโ€ single from his album Fine Line had become the number one sold and second most streamed track of the week.

And all we can say is itโ€™s about damn time our king was given the treatment he deserves.

The track blew up over the last week after the hashtag #WatermelonSugarDay, coinciding with National Watermelon Day, trend on the 3rd of August, followed by a โ€œlost tour visualโ€ clip and official behind the scenes video of the beloved music video โ€œdedicated to touching.โ€ And, intriguingly, it eclipsed Taylor Swiftโ€™s โ€œcardigan,โ€ which previously debuted at number one and now sits at number eight.

โ€œAs Styles achieves his first Hot 100 No. 1, he surpasses his prior best rank, earned when โ€œSign of the Timesโ€ debuted and peaked at No. 4 in April 2017,โ€ according to Billboard. โ€œIn his other top 10 visit as a soloist, โ€œAdore Youโ€ reached No. 6 this April.โ€

Soon after the news broke, the hashtags, #ProudOfHarry and #CongratulationsHarry, began trending at number one and five worldwide respectively. Fans quickly began to share their favourite moments of our favourite former One Direction member, comparing his success to the same bright-eyed, curly haired, 16-year-old X-Factor UK contestant who worked at a bakery all those years agoโ€ฆ
