Disco, Occasionally. also maintaining a presence on the UK charts. The album sits at No. 34 on the latest Official Albums Chart and No. 26 on the Official Albums Streaming Chart.

Styles released Sign of the Times shortly after One Direction went on hiatus, making it his first major release as a solo artist. Nearly a decade later, the song is once again gaining momentum on charts in the UK and around the world.
