Harry Styles is the second member of UK boy band One Direction to land a solo recording contract, following Zayn Malik's contract with RCA Records last July. While Malik officially left the band three months prior to signing, Harry Styles is still technically a member of One Direction. Rumors of solo careers were swirling even before One Direction announced its "temporary hiatus" in January of this year, but Styles is the first to put pen to paper Billboard reports. He's signed with Columbia Records, the label that handled much of One Direction's US business (they were primarily signed to Simon Cowell's UK label Syco Records). There are no details about when Styles' debut solo album might be coming, or indication as to whether this means One Direction is done for good, but you'll certainly see plenty of speculation if you make a well-phrased Tumblr search. The band is a social media behemoth, on which the well of crowd-sourced theories is virtually bottomless. Styles' new direction shouldn't come as a surprise to fans. Last year, four of his solo songs were registered with the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers. And in March, the 22-year-old joined Full Stop Management, headed by former CAA executive Jeffrey Azoff. At the time, One Direction's mentor, Simon Cowell, told Billboard he was unsure if the band would continue after the release of their 2015 album Made in the A.M. "I don't know if it's a hiatus or a breakup, to be honest. In a weird way, I don't want to know," he said. "I don't think they've had enough time to experience what it's like not being in the group to really answer that."

Have we stepped into some kind of time machine and traveled back to January of this year? Harry Styles and Kendall Jenner were spotted hanging out in Los Angeles this weekend, and nope—we have no idea what this situation is right now either. So obviously we all know Jenner and Styles spent New Year chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool together on that yacht in Anguilla. Then, after the proper photo evidence of 'em kissing, everyone from the Kardashian klan to Selena Gomez had something to say about their relationship. Basically, what we gleaned from all the buzz is that, contrary to what Selena Gomez said, the two are probably over again. And with the latest rumors linking Jenner to Los Angeles Lakers player Jordan Clarkson, our hope for Hendall's future has all but completely disappeared.

Programmers are praising Styles' new direction, as the song starts at No. 29 on the Pop Songs chart. "Sign of the Times," Harry Styles' solo debut single apart from One Direction, has soared onto pop radio. After three full days of availability, "Sign" (released at midnight ET Friday, April 7, on Columbia Records), launches at No. 29 on Billboard's Pop Songs airplay chart dated April 22 (which encompasses plays on 167 U.S. mainstream top 40 stations, as measured by Nielsen Music, in the April 3-9 tracking week). It opens with nearly 2,000 detections at the format, translating to a pop radio audience of 16 million. Programmers playing the song, which exudes a darkness in both its moody, rock-leaning sound and its lyrics, say that even as it's a departure from the gloss and tempo of much of today's top 40, as well as 1D's catalog, "Sign" is an obvious fit for the format. In fact, some say, it's off to a good start in large part because of its distinctive feel.

Stop what you're doing - I don't care if you've just microwaved your leftover lunch. Let that sausage casserole go cold, because this is far more important. Harry Styles has just released the tracklisting for his upcoming album, which we now also know is due for release 12th May. The 'Sign Of The Times' star posted a photo of himself in the bath, alongside a list of the track listing, and what's that I spy? A song about Taylor Swift maybe? The One Direction star has a song called 'Ever Since New York' on his debut solo album, and fans are already speculating about whether it's about Taylor Swift for a number of reasons. 2017 Radio Disney Music Awards.

Harry Styles’ first big acting role may be in a Hollywood blockbuster, but the film’s casting director has insisted the singer’s One Direction fame had nothing to do with him landing the part. John Papsidera, who cast Harry in Christopher Nolan’s World War II movie Dunkirk, insists that although the star has no significant acting experience, he outshone many trained actors who auditioned for the same part. He stars alongside Tom Hardy, Kenneth Branagh and Mark Rylance in the movie, however his role is thought to be relatively small in comparison.
