It comes as the superstar breaks multiple records with his upcoming Together, Together Tour.

We therefore have a week in which\u00a0the\u00a0first-ever solo 1D chart double has been completed, after Louis Tomlinson and\u00a0How Did I Get Here?\u00a0topped the Official Albums Chart.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Commenting on the feat,\u00a0Martin Talbot,\u00a0Chief Executive Officer,\u00a0Official Charts, says:\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s precisely 15 years this year since One Direction topped the Official Singles Chart for the first time with What Makes You Beautiful and, after Robbie Williams last week demonstrated how enduring our pop-group-member-turned-solo-stars can be, it is fantastic to see Harry and Louis topping the Official Charts again this week. A reminder (if we ever needed one) of the timeless appeal of\u00a0arguably the\u00a0world’s favourite 21st Century boy band.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

As a band, One Direction scored the\u00a0relatively rare\u00a0Official Chart\u00a0Double<\/a>\u00a0back in\u00a0November 2012, as\u00a0Little Things\u00a0and\u00a0Take Me Home\u00a0topped the Singles and Albums\u00a0Charts\u00a0respectively.<\/p>\n

With talk of 2026 being the \u2018new 2016,\u2019\u00a0Zara Larsson<\/a>\u2019s latest cut\u00a0Midnight Sun<\/a>\u00a0benefits from a boost, up three to a new best (26).\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s\u00a0a 19th Top 40 single for\u00a0Arctic Monkeys<\/a>\u00a0with\u00a0Opening Night<\/a>\u00a0(16). Taken from upcoming War Child Records compilation\u00a0HELP(2), due March 6, it earns the Sheffield rock stalwarts their highest-charting single in 13 years, since the iconic\u00a0Why\u2019d You Only Call Me When You\u2019re High?<\/a>\u00a0in 2013.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lil Uzi Vert<\/a>\u00a0dropped\u00a0What You\u00a0Saying<\/a>\u00a0back in December,\u00a0and\u00a0now\u00a0we\u2019re\u00a0saying the track is your highest climber this week, scaling\u00a014 spots to land at Number 27 as it goes viral online.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And,\u00a0after\u00a0returning to the Official Singles Chart\u00a0Top 40 for the first time in\u00a0over\u00a0two decades last week,\u00a0The Cure<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0Boys Don\u2019t Cry<\/a>\u00a0elevates even further, moving three (36).\u00a0<\/p>\n
