Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally debuted at No. 1 earlier this year, and the English singer-songwriter and former One Direction star has spent months promoting the project.<\/p>\n<p>Several singles have been pushed from Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, but all of them are now missing from the American-only song rankings. This frame, as Styles\u2019s newest solo offering drops again, his earliest tune on his own rises to a never-before-seen peak, passing one much more recent hit.<\/p>\n<p>Harry Styles\u2019s First Solo Singles Reaches a New Peak<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSign of the Times\u201d rises to a new high on the <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/billboard-global-excl-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/billboard-global-excl-us\/\" aria-label=\"Billboard Global Excl.

The years-old track enjoyed a major resurgence earlier this year after it was featured in the action blockbuster Project Hail Mary. All the promotion surrounding Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally and its multiple singles also likely helped raise Styles\u2019s profile and send listeners back to some of his earliest smashes.<\/p>\n<p>Harry Styles Climbs on Several Global Charts<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSign of the Times\u201d rises on both of the global Billboard charts this week.
