Columbia’s Harry Styles will land the biggest debut of 2022 thus far and the biggest first week of his solo career. (We already told you that Harry's House will shatter the single-week record for vinyl sales.) Styles' third post-1D album will best the opening of his previous set, 2019’s Fine Line, which bowed with 478k in December of that year. Zach Bryan’s 34-track American Heartbreak (Warner) appears to be on its way to a Top 5 debut at about 67k, which gives it 2022’s best start for a country album. Bad Bunny's Un Verano Sin Ti (Rimas) will have a third sensational week.
