Columbia's Harry Styles, who performed to a sold-out crowd at L.A.'s Fabulous Forum on Friday, is off to a rockin' start with new album Fine Line. This morning, nine tracks from the set are in Spotify's U.S. Top 30, with two of those in the Top 5 and five in the Top 15. Line is the #1 seller on iTunes and Amazon Music, and #2 at Apple Music. SEA is looking to be about 75-100k. He's reportedly doing brisk business at retail, with vinyl playing a significant role. Based on early reads, he's headed for a blockbuster chart bow.

Harry's intimate L.A. show was the prelude to what promises to be a ginormous tour. He was joined on the Forum stage by musical mentor Stevie Nicks for a duet on the Fleetwood Mac classic "Landslide." Looks like Harry is due for a landslide victory on the chart as well.
