He can enjoy his solitary week at the top(wether he can return is another matter) because Liam "still mad for it!" Gallagher will have something to say and achieve his three in a row solo no.1s..Meanwhile Harry is halfway to matching Bryan Adams ' record

I was a little thrown off by its production choices, too modern for me at times :) But the album is a grower, I love it so much now! Let's see if the new album has the longevity of the previous two

Poor Harry looks like he's been coerced into looking like a prat to appease the loathsome woke mob.

I preferred his eponymous album & ‘Fine Line’ a lot more, but ‘Harry’s House’ is still not bad. :)
