The track is the first to come from Styles’ forthcoming third album, Harry’s House, set for release on May 20th. It’s the singer-songwriter’s first new entry on the chart since Falling and Golden hit the chart in the same week in December 2019.

A week on from its debut, American rapper Latto has jumped 22 spots to hit #13 with Big Energy. Last week, the track hit #3 in the US thanks to the release of a remix featuring Mariah Carey and DJ Khaled.

Debuting at #22 with When You’re Gone, Shawn Mendes hit the singles chart for the first time since 2020. The Canadian artist debuted the song in a live show at this year’s South By Southwest in Austin, Texas. His last appearance on the chart was with the Justin Bieber collaboration Monster which hit #7 in November 2020.

American rapper Lil Tjay takes out his second ARIA top 50 entry, debuting at #27 with In My Head. The new track comes just over a year on from Calling My Phone, which not only gave him a top three entry in Australia, but also in the US, UK, New Zealand, and a #1 in Canada.

ARIA Award-winning singer-songwriter Dean Lewis picks up his first chart entry for 2022 with Hurtless at #29. Lewis last charted with Falling Up at #48 in June last year, which was nominated for Song Of The Year at the 2021 ARIA Awards.
