Niall Horan has officially reached the top spot for the first time in his solo career, marking a major milestone after years of narrowly missing the mark. The former One Direction member has consistently been one of the most successful solo artists to emerge from the band, and his latest achievement with his debut single “This Town” is proof of his enduring popularity. The song, which originally debuted in 2016, has made a strong return to the charts in the United Kingdom, clinching the No. 1 spot on several major lists.
“This Town” is a special success for Horan, as it marks his first-ever chart-topping hit on the Official Physical Singles chart. Prior to this, his previous releases like “Our Song” with Anne-Marie, “Heaven,” and “Meltdown” all reached No. 2, falling just short of the coveted top position. The singer had been close before, but this time, his single finally secured the top place, breaking his string of near-misses.
Not only did “This Town” make waves on the Physical Singles chart, but it also took the No. 1 spot on the Official Vinyl Singles chart, further cementing its status. As the track earned this new achievement, it also saw a return to the top 10 on the Official Singles Sales chart, re-entering at No. 6. While this isn’t a new peak for the song in this category, its resurgence shows just how much it continues to resonate with fans, particularly with vinyl collectors.
The success of “This Town” is even more remarkable considering the song isn’t new. Released in 2016, it has always had a special place in Horan’s catalog,
