Despite a reported Spotify hiccup, Harry Styles could be the worthy soul to end Ed Sheeran's dominance of the Official UK Singles Chart this Friday with his debut solo single 'Sign Of The Times' heading straightfor No.1.

Of the four 1D members who've released solo material so far, only ZAYN has managed to score a No.1 with 'PILLOWTALK' back in January 2016, so all eyes are on Hazza this Friday...

Ed Sheeran is currently in his thirteenth week at No.1 with 'Shape Of You', but either way it's looking like that'll end this week ('bout time),as the songfallsto No.4 at the midweek stage,seeminglyending the spell that his third studio album '÷'('Divide)'has held over the Top 40 since its release last month.
