Harry Styles and Kylie Minogue

The group finished in third place, and shortly after, signed with Syco Records. One Direction went on to become one of the biggest boy bands of all time.

After five albums and four world tours, One Direction disbanded in 2016. This marked the beginning of Harry Styles’ solo career. A year later, he released the first single from his upcoming self-titled debut album.

“Sign of The Times” reached number one on the UK singles and number four on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. Rolling Stones magazine named it the best song of the year, with critics likening it to the styles of Queen and David Bowie. Its accompanying music video was also a giant success, winning British Video of the Year at the Brit Awards.

When Harry Styles released his self-titled debut album in May 2017, it topped the charts in several countries, including the US, UK, and Australia. In September that year, Styles embarked on his first headlining concert tour.

As if 2017 couldn’t get any bigger for Styles, the year also saw his feature film debut. He was cast as a soldier named Alex in the Christopher Nolan movie Dunkirk.

Styles switched to a role behind the camera in 2018, serving as executive producer for the television sitcom Happy Together. He also began modeling for Gucci that year, marking the beginning of his fashion evolution. With an affinity for high-waisted pants, pearls, and sparkles, Harry is well-known for his refusal to stick to the rules. Many fans delight in capturing and sharing his tour outfits on social media.

In 2019, Styles released “Lights Up,” the lead single from his much-anticipated second album. The song debuted at number three in the UK. Styles’ second album Fine Line dropped in December of the same year. Not only did it instantly top the US charts, the album broke the record for the biggest sales debut by a British male artist. It was also named one of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time by Rolling Stone magazine.

Fine Line produced five singles, including “Watermelon Sugar.” The song became Harry Styles’ first number-one single in the US.

Harry Styles was originally set to embark on a tour in 2020 to support 2019’s Fine Line. Unfortunately, it was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Thankfully, fans didn’t have to wait too long. The tour kicked off in 2021 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

In 2021, Harry Styles was nominated for three Grammy Awards, winning Best Pop Solo Performance for “Watermelon Sugar.” He also made a brief return to the big screen with a cameo appearance in Marvel’s “Eternals” film. He finished the year by launching his gender-neutral skin care line, Pleasing.

In 2022, Harry Styles dropped his third studio album, Harry’s House. The lead single, “As it Was,” debuted at number one in the UK and US. It topped the US charts for 15 consecutive weeks, making it the fourth longest-running number one single.

Harry’s House also topped both the UK and US charts, making Styles the first British solo artist to have four singles charting within the US Top 10 at the same time. At the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards, he won three awards, including Album of the Year.

Harry Styles' film career also continues to grow. He appeared in the 2022 thriller Don’t Worry Darling and the 2022 film adaptation of My Policeman.

As part of his ongoing Love On Tour, Styles has performed 15 sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden. The venue raised a permanent banner to mark his achievement. He’s the third artist in history to have received this honor.

From The X Factor stage to sold-out stadiums, Harry Styles has come a long way from his boy band roots. Thanks to his raw talent, excellent fashion sense, and down-to-earth personality, fans have joined him along for the ride

Kylie Minogue first achieved fame in her role in the television soap opera, "Neighbours." She began her musical career in 1987, signing a contract with British songwriting trio Stock Aitken Waterman, after her first single "The Loco-Motion" was hugely successful, becoming the highest-selling single of the decade in Australia. "I Should Be So Lucky" was Kylie's breakout hit in 1988 and remains a pop classic.

In 1992 she left Stock Aitken Waterman, choosing to go it alone and establish herself as a performer in her own right. In 1994 she collaborated with Nick Cave on the song "Where the Wild Roses Grow" which garnered artistic credibility for Kylie, as she moved away from her image as the "girl next door" pop star. In 2000 she returned to success with the singles "Spinning Around" and "Can't Get You Out of My Head" which reached number one in over 40 countries. Through her album "Fever" (2001) she broke into the American market, which had before alluded her. This release led to achieving four ARIA airways as well as two Brit Awards for Best International Female Solo Artist and Best International Album.

Throughout her career, Kylie Minogue has developed and evolved her music to a more mature, dance orientated sound incorporating electronica, disco and R & B influences. Whilst attempting to establish herself as a more serious artist, she has always maintained a sense of joy and fun within her music, which has helped her become such a treasured star in Australia and her adopted home in the UK.

In the middle of a tour in 2005, Kylie Minogue was diagnosed with breast cancer, which forced her to cancel the tour. Thankfully, she successfully combatted the disease, allowing her to continue producing brilliant music. Following her illness, Minogue became an important figure in raising awareness and support of health research as well as humanitarian issues around the world. Her contributions were acknowledged through an honorary doctorate degree from Anglia Ruskin University as well as being appointed as an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE).

Kylie Minogue has featured as a judge on BBC One's talent competition, "The Voice" for the first season and the third season of Australia's version of the show. She also released her 12th studio album in March 2014, titled "Kiss Me Once" which reached number one in the Australian charts and number two in the UK.
