His three studio albums were commercially successful and well-received by music critics, all debuting atop the U.S. Billboard 200 chart. Styles has been credited for the rise in vinyl sales and has had simultaneous achievements in physical sales, digital sales, streaming, record charts, and touring. He has inspired several musicians and novelists, with Rolling Stone UK calling him the "new King of Pop" in 2022. Styles has often been described as a successor to artists such as Elton John, David Bowie, Elvis Presley, Freddie Mercury, and Michael Jackson and one of the culture-defining figures shaping masculinity, femininity, and gender fluidity, through his fashion and lifestyle.

He has been referred to as a pop icon,[12][13][14] a fashion icon,[15][16][17] and a global icon.[18][19][20] Styles is considered to be among the most successful solo artists to have emerged from a band.[21][22] Ben Beaumont-Thomas of The Guardian wrote that Styles is "a star who has negotiated one of the most difficult transitions in music – from boyband to solo artist – with more panache than even successful forebears such as Justin Timberlake and Robbie Williams".[23] He has often been described by media outlets as a successor to artists such as Elton John,[24] David Bowie,[25] Elvis Presley,[26] Freddie Mercury,[27] and Michael Jackson.[28] Rolling Stone UK named Styles the "new King of Pop" in 2022, following his success with Harry's House and its lead single "As It Was".[29][14] He is considered to be one of the culture-defining figures shaping masculinity, femininity, gender fluidity, and individuality through his fashion and lifestyle.[30][31][32][33]
Fandom
You'd be hard pressed to find an article about Styles that doesn't mention his fans. They've sold out shows in minutes, taken over TikTok trends and camped outside venues. They're also a highly creative bunch of young people, using their fandom to learn new skills that will carry them forward in many aspects of their lives.
Kate Pattison, The Conversation (2023)[34]
Styles' fan base is known as "Harries", including fans of all ages, ethnicities, and genders around the world.[35][36] Known for their creativity, they have made fan edits of him with their video editing skills, customised fan sites with their coding and web designing skills, and organised marketing campaigns to promote his music and help him win awards. In a survey of fans conducted by Kate Pattison from The Conversation, the skills the fans have learnt through their fandom included graphic design, sewing, writing, close reading, and digital literacy. On the fan fiction website Wattpad, there are over 270,000 stories about Styles, with some of them attracting millions of readers.[34] Throughout the years, his fans has raised over £30,000 for charitable causes, including over £11,000 in 2021 alone in honour of his 27th birthday.[37] Due to his popularity, the singer has often fallen a victim of bottling,[38] frequently hitting him in the groin.[39][40][41][42]
He has inspired his fans to dress up for his concerts, leading Fashionista to call the shows "his fans' Met Gala". Outfits often include sequins, pink cowboy hats, and feather boas[43][44] with fans encouraging others to "BYOB – bring your own boa"[45] and have been featured in Vogue,[46] The New York Times,[47] and The New Yorker.[48] The popularisation of feather boas at Styles' concerts caused a shortage of the accessory in various locations Styles performed in, including Dublin, Melbourne, and New York City.[49][50] The feather boas at the Party City in New York City were completely sold out within the first two to three days of his residency.[51] However, Styles fans have been criticized for the environmental impact of the single-use accessory as they have polluted parts of cities after his performances.[45] Heather McLaughlin for the charity Keep Scotland Beautiful stated "We’d encourage stars such as Harry Styles to seriously consider the influence they have on their fans, and our environment. Many concert and festivalgoers will be horrified to learn that escapee feathers have unintentionally added to our escalating litter problem."[52] In response to the littering of feathers after Styles' shows in Cardiff, Wales, the council announced the feathers would sent to an energy waste facility to help create green energy and further recycling.[53]
Styles has been praised for his inclusivity and welcoming attitude at his concerts by numerous publications.[54][55][56][57] He has been noted for encouraging his fans to be "whoever they want to be" and to have "the best time of their lives" at his shows.[58][59] Will Richards of the Evening Standard said of the environment, "To foster such a safe space for people to be so unashamedly themselves [is] Styles’ greatest feat."[60] He has also been known for his protective relationship with his fans, stalwartly defending them in his interviews.[61] Respectively, fans often credit Styles with feeling safe, free, and comfortable at his concerts and their own lives. He has helped several fans at his concerts to come out to their families or propose to their lovers or counsel them through their break-ups.[35][62] The fervour observed at Styles' concerts has often been compared to the heights of Elvis Presley and Beatlemania by publications such as Billboard and Clash.[63][64][65][66]
Since One Direction's early years, a group of shipping conspiracy theorist fans, often called "Larries", has been dedicated to proving that Styles and Louis Tomlinson, name blended as "Larry Stylinson", are secretly a couple that has been closeted by a homophobic music industry.[67][68][69] Academics Clare Southerton and Hannah McCann connect the fan group to phenomena like queer reading and slash fiction.[68][70] In 2016, the ship was labeled "one of the largest elements of the One Direction fandom, which itself is one of the largest fandoms on the internet".[67] The theory, mainly proliferated on social media, has led to online bullying and harassment of Styles' and Tomlinson's friends, family, and girlfriends.[71][67]
Social media presence
Styles is one of the most-followed Twitter users, with over 38 million followers as of 2022,[72] and has one of the most-followed Instagram accounts in the UK, with over 48 million followers as of 2024.[73][74] He has often used his social media accounts to interact with his fans, reply to their posts, or answer their private messages.[75][76][77][78] When a fan jokingly tweeted on World Mental Health Day that Styles' second album and tour are more important than therapy, he answered, "Go to therapy, it's important. I'll wait for you".[79] Styles was named the most influential person on Twitter by The Independent in 2015 and ranked as the tenth most famous contemporary music artist by YouGov in 2024.[80][81] According to a report released by Twitter called "The Styles Report", Styles is the most-talked-about "Harry" of the 2020s, beating out Harry Potter and Prince Harry. His fans tweeted about Harry's House over 10 million tweets from its announcement date to its release date, with a five times increase in tweets about feather boas during the week of the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards. Additionally, Twitter painted murals of popular tweets about Styles in Los Angeles and New York City, with Kevin O'Donnell, Twitter's head of music partnerships, speaking about Styles' influence in a press release.[82]
Legacy
Senior artists such as Paul McCartney,[83] Joni Mitchell,[84] Stevie Nicks,[85] Elton John,[86] Rick Astley,[87] and Shania Twain have praised his musicianship.[88] Nicks regards Styles as "the son [she] never had", "[her] little muse", and a "love child" between her and Mick Fleetwood.[89] Fleetwood shared this assessment, stating Styles has "the real shit in him" and joking he adopted Styles. Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys praised Styles for his album sequencing and taking risks as a mainstream pop star,[90] Liam Gallagher called Styles "marvellous" and "very talented",[91] Nick Mason of Pink Floyd asked if he could play drums for Styles,[92] and Jon Bon Jovi labelled him as "one-of-one" and "the real deal".[93]
Touring
Styles has been revered by critics and journalists for his unique performing style and sense of inclusivity while touring. According to Billboard, tickets for the Harry Styles: Live on Tour shows in 2017 sold out in seconds across 29 markets.[94] The tour grossed over $63 million and raised a total of $1.2 million in charity donations from ticket and merchandise sales for 62 charities around the world, and registered hundreds of new voters in the US via the non-profit organisation HeadCount.[95] The second of the two final shows at the Kia Forum tallied more than 17,000 paid tickets and beat the record for the most paid tickets for a single show since the venue reopened in 2014. Additionally, record amounts of merchandise were sold in over 50 venues in North and South America, Australia, and Europe, according to Live Nation.[95]
Styles' Love On Tour grossed $617.3 million and sold more than 5 million tickets over 173 dates.[96] It ended as the fifth-highest-grossing tour and eighth-most attended tour of all time, and raised more than $6.5 million for various charities including Planned Parenthood, Choose Love, and Physicians for Reproductive Health.[97][96] The tour eclipsed the entire career gross of One Direction's tours combined.[97] The tour was also credited by Hugh McIntyre of Forbes as "one of the first major ventures by a top-tier musician following the global pandemic" where most artists held back to see how the market would respond following the outbreak.[98]
Residencies
As part of Styles' Love On Tour in 2021, Styles announced a 15-night residency at both Madison Square Garden and the Kia Forum, with additional 6-night residencies in Austin and Chicago. Multiple publications cited Styles as the leader in a new trend of live entertainment for performers in a post-COVID-19 landscape and a method to reduce touring costs. Ben Sisario of The New York Times named Styles "the most prominent example of a bubbling trend", with Eamonn Forde of The Guardian agreeing that Styles led the pack due to his large scale success. Former chief executive of Ticketmaster, Nathan Hubbard called Styles' strategy "the future of live [entertainment]".[99][100]
Styles' shows at Madison Square Garden were the highest grossing engagement for a British artist, for a male artist, the biggest for any artist at the venue, and the highest grossing headline engagement in Billboard boxscore's history.[101] The Garden raised a permanent banner to the rafters in the venue, commemorating his record-setting run of 15 consecutive sold-out shows, making Styles the third artist in history to receive the accolade.[102] Jim Dolan, executive chairman and CEO of MSG Entertainment, named Styles one of the most impactful artists of his generation.[103] Styles also received a commemorative banner for his 15 sold-out shows at the Kia Forum that was raised to the rafters of the venue.[104]
Sustainability
Styles is considered one of the leading contemporary artists promoting sustainability in live entertainment.[105][106] Styles launched a partnership with the non-profit organization Reverb in 2018 for his Harry Styles: Live on Tour.[107] On his first tour, 6,700 gallons of waste were diverted from landfills backstage by band/crew.[108] As part of Styles' Love On Tour, "Harry Styles Eco-Village" were set up at every show, where 33,900+ single-use bottles were eliminated. Styles also supported The Kenya Clean Water Project, The Sky Wind Project, and Solar Powered Streetlights in Michigan to address the greenhouse gas emissions from the tour.[109] In 2022, the partnership was highlighted by Billboard as one of the major contributors to the "green movement" in live music.[110] Publications such as The Washington Post credited Styles alongside Coldplay and Billie Eilish for being the first major artists to make climate pledges on their tours.[111]
Styles also invested in the sustainable arena venue Co-Op Live, the UK's first and only 100% electric arena, powered by a combination of renewably sourced electricity and on-site solar panels.[112] The venue's roof harvests rainfall, which is used to water its plants and flush its toilets. The venue also pledges zero waste to landfill and the intention to be the most sustainable arena in Europe.[112] In 2024, representatives for Styles joined the Music Climate Advisory Committee for a study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)'s Environmental Solutions Initiative, proposing sustainable solutions for events across the entire live music industry.[113]
Commercial success
As a result of the anticipation for his albums, Styles has impacted the music industry's economy on several occasions. After the release of Harry's House and "As It Was" in 2022, the United Kingdom saw its highest annual export level since 2000. It led to a double-digit percentage increase in physical sales, digital sales, streaming, and other consumption of British music in every region globally.[114] Sony Music Group considered Harry's House a major seller for their third fiscal quarter of 2022, when the company experienced record earnings and a 42.9% year-on-year growth in music publishing revenue.[115] In 2022, Harry's House was listed among the key contributors to an increase of cassette sales in the UK, the highest level since 2003.[116] Styles has also been credited for the rise in vinyl sales in both the UK and the US, for a 20% year on year industry increase.[117][118] His album Fine Line was the best-selling vinyl album in the US in 2020.[119]
Charts and accolades
The British Phonographic Industry (BPI) has credited Styles' global success with boosting music exports to the United Kingdom multiple times.[120][121][122] Media outlets such as The Guardian have claimed Styles is "Britain's most lucrative export" with his broad international appeal, and The Telegraph labelled him "Britain’s premier contemporary pop star" who is "single-handedly keeping Britain relevant on the world stage".[123][124][125][126] During Harry's House's release week, Styles occupied the top spot of the album and singles charts in over ten countries, including the UK and US, with Harry's House and "As It Was", respectively.[127] Styles' debut album, Harry Styles, earned the biggest sales week for a debut album by a British male in the SoundScan era and Harry's House moved more copies on vinyl than any other artist since SoundScan tracking began.[128][129] In the US, "As It Was" is the longest running number one song by a British act in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart's history, and Harry's House's first week on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart was the biggest debut for any British male artist. Styles also holds the record as the first UK male artist to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 with his first three albums.[130] Styles has also broken a variety of records in Asia, Europe, and Latin America with his tours.[131][132]
Styles has been particularly praised for "breaking the boyband mould" as a solo artist and "cracking America". James Masterton of The Guardian labeled Styles as "a new kind of cross-media poly-talent" across generations, calling him a "renaissance man" for expression and fluidity in British stars.[124] Styles was the first British male soloist to win Album of the Year at the Grammys since Eric Clapton and was the first to win the award after originating from reality television.[133]
Marketing strategies
They're incredibly smart, they're brilliant in the way they pieced it all together. [...] In this day and age when there is so much out there, getting people to pay attention to one thing is really satisfying.
Manos Xanthogeorgis, Columbia Records' senior vice president of digital marketing and media, on Styles' fans and the Eroda campaign, Billboard (2019)[134]
Styles' brand is considered "a professional, consistent and emotional presence" with "elaborate" and "lavish" marketing campaigns.[135][136] To promote Fine Line and its lead single "Lights Up" in 2019, Styles launched the "Do You Know Who You Are?" campaign, in which a generative website was created and several billboards were displayed around the world with the lyric from the single. He later launched the "Eroda" campaign to promote the album's release and its second single, "Adore You" (2019). Styles created a fictional island called Eroda and marketed it for a tourism agency on the island, as well as a website, fake reviews on social media apps, travel tips, and short history lessons about the island. He later collaborated with Spotify to organize a fan-exclusive event held at an undisclosed location in Los Angeles for a private listening party, where fans were taken to experience Eroda.[137][138] Gil Kaufman of Billboard called the Eroda campaign the most viral marketing campaign of the year.[134] Alice Vincent of The Daily Telegraph also praised Styles for his creativity, stating, "Styles is closing out the 2010s with the greatest album campaign we've seen so far".[139] In 2020, Styles won the Silver Clio Award for "Adore You" in the "Music Marketing" category for the Eroda campaign.[140]
To celebrate Fine Line's release and maximize the album's sales, Styles held a one-night-only show at the Kia Forum on the album's release day. He allowed fans to pre-order his album and rewarded them with a code to have a chance to buy tickets for the show for $25.[137][141] Styles has also held several shows during Halloween throughout the years, dubbing the shows "Harryween", and encouraging the fans to dress up in costumes for the occasion. Tickets for his Halloween shows sell out in seconds, with fans spending hundreds and thousands of dollars on resale tickets.[137][142][143]
As part of the launch of Harry's House, Columbia Records launched the "You Are Home" campaign with a website with the same phrase. Users found an image of a door on the site, opening to changing visual patterns.[144] Each change behind the door was accompanied by a tweet from the Twitter account @YouAreHome.[144] Fans found that the website's coding pointed them to the coordinates of newspaper offices and billboards around the world, where ads for the campaign were placed. Once the album was announced, the door on the site opened to the official album artwork.[144] Stock photo agency Shutterstock reported that when the campaign launched, "Doors" and "Houses" saw their clickability surge 145% and 42%, respectively.[145] Brands such as Hulu, Samsung, Twix, Adobe, Sporting Lisbon CP, and Architectural Digest also inserted themselves into the album artwork and participated in the campaign.[146] In 2024, Styles and Columbia Records won the Clio Grand in the "Album Launch/Artist Promotion Integrated Campaign" category for their achievement with Harry's House.[147] Amanda O'Shaughnessy, an associate marketing director at Mediacom, said Styles "knows who he is and what he stands for but most importantly he understands his audience and what they want. [...] He embraces and shows unending respect to his fans, audiences, and generations, ensuring they're represented. He's even on several occasions shut down the pigeon-holing of his fans by journalists – truly appreciating how his audiences continue to evolve. That takes humility which marketers can all learn from".[148]
Fashion
It's hard to go anywhere without encountering Harry Styles' unparalleled, experimental, and often '70's-inspired fashion sense. Whether someone is most familiar with Styles' boy-band-cutie era or as an innovator in modern menswear, one can definitively say that the musician often lives up to his surname.

In 2020, Styles became the first man to appear solo on the cover of Vogue, selling 40,000 subscriptions after the cover was launched so they had to order a second print run with a waitlist.[171] The blue Gucci dress he wore on the cover was incorporated in 2022 into a Victoria and Albert Museum exhibit called 'Fashioning Masculinities: The Art of Menswear'.[169] Nashville-based singer Charlotte Sands wrote a song called "Dress", inspired by Styles' cover look. The song went viral on TikTok and has been added to over 37,000 Spotify playlists as of 2021.[172]
During the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020, a JW Anderson knitted cardigan that Styles wore in a rehearsal for The Today Show went viral on TikTok as Anderson provided the pattern for free online. The Victoria and Albert Museum acquired the cardigan for its permanent collection in November 2020, calling the viral craze a "cultural phenomenon that speaks to the power of creativity and social media in bringing people together in times of extreme adversity".[173] Following the internet challenge to recreate the cardigan on TikTok, searches for knitted clothes increased by 166% during the last week of June, according to fashion technology company and search engine Lyst.[174]
Lyst named Styles the most influential man in fashion in 2020 and a "trendsetter" of the year.
