Former One Direction star Harry Styles goes from pop idol to global icon in 2022

Former One Direction star Harry Styles went from pop idol to global icon this year.

The heart-throb topped charts in the US, UK and around the world with his third album Harry's House and popular single, As It Was.

The catchy tune, which was part of his third album, was so big across the pond that it spent 15 weeks at No.1 in the US.

But it wasn't only the music charts Harry was flying high in.

He topped the film box office charts with his appearance alongside Florence Pugh and Chris Pine in Olivia Wilde's Don't Worry Darling.

He also gained critical acclaim for his role in the gay drama, My Policeman.

He became the first man to appear solo on the cover of Vogue and in November, he released a collaborative collection with Gucci.

If that wasn’t impressive enough, the former X Factor star pulled it all off in the middle of a two-year world tour which started in September 2021 and will finish this year.

He achieved all this while spreading love, acceptance and positivity, too. It’s easy to forget just how big Harry has become because he’s so in-demand, he’s hardly ever home in the UK.

And with BRIT and Grammy awards expected to follow in February, 2023 looks set to be an even bigger year for the down-to-earth hitmaker.
