What does Harry_Styles' No. 17 debut mean for Lights and what direction do we want to see him go in from here? 🤔 Our editors debate these questions and more below

Regardless of where he landed on the Hot 100, it’s pretty clear Harry Styles fans haven’t gone anywhere -- and are ready for more.: Fairly satisfied, if not a little underwhelmed.

lesbianshine Harry_Styles Having just discovered Harry Styles recently, I couldn’t be more excited to hear the new album. My hunch is that “Lights Up” will prove to be a somewhat off-center, oblique representative of the album as a whole.
