Former One Direction singer Harry Styles has made history as the only person ever to have his album, single and movie debut at number one.
Styles' self-titled debut solo album and single "Sign of the Times" topped the US Billboard charts when they were released earlier this year, while his movie "Dunkirk" - in which he plays a young soldier - topped the US box office this month, reported Entertainment Tonight Canada.
Styles' first post-One Direction album immediately shot to Number 1 on the Billboard charts upon its release in May, racking up 230,000 equivalent album units in its first week of release.
The album's first single, "Sign of the Times", which was released in April, likewise debuted in the top spot.
Styles' acting debut in the Christopher Nolan-directed Second World War drama has proved to be a blockbuster, easily taking the top spot at the box office.
It has so far earned USD 131.3 million at the domestic box office and USD 234.1 million internationally.
