Career

Following a call from his mother, Styles auditioned as a solo contestant for the seventh series of the British televised singing competition The X Factor, singing a version of Train's "Hey, Soul Sister." After Simon Cowell's admission that the album wasn't appropriate for him, he performed a version of Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely." He went to bootcamp but didn't progress any further. Four others in his age group who were also disqualified were grouped together in July 2010 to compete in the "Groups" category, which Cowell mentored. Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Zolinson, and Zayn Malik all trained for two weeks; Styles suggested the word One Direction to his bandmates, but they decided to keep it. They began to gain a lot of attention in the United Kingdom, and Cowell's last act in the competition was within four weeks of the live shows. The team eventually advanced to the final of The X Factor and finished in third place.

One Direction signed a recording deal with Cowell's company Syco Records in January 2011. "What Makes You Beautiful," their first studio album, Up All Night, and their debut single "What Makes You Beautiful" followed him later this year. One Direction's debut album, which featured three songs co-written by Styles, made the debut by the British band to debut at number one in the United States. Take Me Home (2012), Midnight Memories (2013), Four (2014), and Made in the A.M. (2015) were among their four previous studio albums, and they debuted at number one in the United Kingdom. Midnight Memories was the world's best-selling album of 2013, and its companion, Where We Are Tour, was the highest-grossing tour of all time by a vocal group, and remains the highest-grossing tour of all time. One Direction became the only band in the Billboard 200 albums chart to debut at number one after the introduction of Four. "Live While We're Young," "Good Times," "Best Song Ever," "Story of My Life," "Drag Me Down," and "History" are among the album's most popular singles. Styles also co-wrote the song "Just a Little Bit of Your Heart" for Ariana Grande's 2014 album "My Everything"; she wrote it.

Following completion of promotional activities related to Made in the A.M., the band did not want to "exhaust" the fan base, according to Styles' suggestion. One Direction's debut in the United States has sold 70 million albums worldwide, including 7.6 million albums and 26 million singles in the United States, making them one of the top-selling boy bands of all time. Several accolades have been given to the organization, including seven British Music Awards, seven American Music Awards, six Billboard Music Awards, and four MTV Video Music Awards. Although Styles has been generally positive about his time in One Direction, he has also revealed that the extreme glaucomism he suffered while in the band made it was not always easy to deal with. Styles attributed his avoiding social media to the fact that he should be everywhere online. He has discussed being afraid of saying the wrong things in interviews and fears that not answering questions such as the number of people he slept with will cause journalists to leave the interview frustrated with him. His One Direction contracts contained "cleanliness clauses" that stated that if he did not follow them, they would be "null and null." He said he "burst into tears" when he signed a solo deal without these terms because he felt "free."

Styles came from Jeffrey Azoff's Full Stop Management and talent firm CAA, a first-half talent agency, in the first half of 2016. Erskine Records, his own record label at the time, has also launched Erskine Records. Styles' debut album was released in Los Angeles, London, and Port Antonio, Jamaica, where Styles and his coworkers had a two-month writing retreat in the fall. He revealed in March 2017 that his first solo album, "Sign of the Times," would be released on April 7th. The song debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart and at number four on the Billboard Hot 100, a hit at number one on the UK Singles Chart and number four. It was a glam rock power ballad that attracted comparisons to David Bowie's work. "Sign of the Times" was named as the best song of 2017. Rolling Stone was ranked as the best song of 2017. Styles' flying and walking on water topped the British Video of the Year Award for British Video of the Year. Styles appeared on Saturday Night Live in the United States in April and made his first live broadcast solo appearance on The Graham Norton Show in the United Kingdom.

His self-titled debut album was released in May 2017, whereupon it debuted at number one in several countries, including Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Variety characterized the album as a "classic mixture of psychedelia, Britpop, and balladry" on 1970s soft rock. It received generally positive reviews from reviewers and was included in several publications' lists of the best albums of 2017. "Two Ghosts" and "Kiwi" were two more singles produced by Harry Styles. In May, Harry Styles: Behind the Album, which outlined the writing and recording process for the album, was released exclusively on Apple Music.

Styles won the role over "thousands of young men"; Nolan later admitted that he was unaware of the extent of Styles' fame and that he had a seat at the table because he played the part beautifully and gained a seat at the table. Robbie Collin, a film critic for The Daily Telegraph, lauded Styles for his "bright, convicted, and notably not-at-all jarring performance."

He's already a hero." In the 2022 psychological thriller film Don't Worry Darling, directed by Olivia Wilde, styled Florence Pugh. The film, as well as his appearance, at the 79th Venice International Film Festival, received mixed reviews. Steph Green, a writer for the BBC, said that "Harry Styles doesn't sound up to the subject here, with leaden line delivery and a lack of light and shade in his scenes opposite Pugh's fall flat," but that "with his popping eyes, floppy shock of hair, and saturnine suaveness, he recalls the youthful Frank Sinatra as an actor." Styles appeared alongside Emma Corrin in My Policeman, a film version of the 2012 book of the same name that premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2022. The main cast of the film received the TIFF Tribute Award for Achievement at the 2022 TIFF Tribute Awards.
