Zayn Malik vs. Harry Styles, who will have the most success in 2017?
Since Harry Styles unveiled “Sign of the Times” and Zayn Malik is back with “Still Got Time”, one question arises: which one will have the most success in 2017?
The struggle is just beginning . Zayn Malik decided to return to the front of the music scene with “Still Got Time” , a title that is reminiscent of the popular press and after a first album (Mind of Mine) applauded by the critics Last tubes of a certain Drake. Perfect for summer, the piece benefits from a clip released in an emergency form. Yes, in the face of the long-awaited return of Harry Styles, the team of the former One Direction decided to take the lead and put his foal back in the limelight. Unfortunately, the American public seems unconvincing. While Harry Styles recently acknowledged that his ex-Taylor Swift’s songs are “amazing , The title “Still Got Time” has already disappeared from the Billboard Hot 100. To recap, the Hot 100 is the ranking of the 100 most popular titles across the Atlantic and takes into account singles sales, radio passages and YouTube viewings (In the United States). The title was not higher than the 57th place and a confusion between Zayn Malik and PartyNextDoor would prevent the second to promote the title.
A bargain for the Harry Styles camp! If the two popstars revealed by the British X-Factor remain very sympathetic towards one another, there is no doubt that the departure of Zayn Malik from the One Direction was a blow for Harry . A valid reason for him to want to take his revenge by being the biggest seller of records this year. And that seems good. Indeed, we had seen just when we evoked the possibility that Harry Styles could do better than Zayn Malik and Niall Horan without the One Direction ! Present in the Billboard Hot 100 for 4 weeks, “Sign of the Times” is currently in the 22nd position and the critics are unanimous: the title is a marvel. The Guardian sees the influence of David Bowie, the Telegraph feels a real sensitivity, for The Independent is the single of maturity and Cosmopolitan has raised the melodious and perfect voice of Harry Styles. In the battle of the lead-single, Harry Styles seems to be one step ahead . And that might be the case for a while. In advance . And that might be the case for a while. In advance . And that might be the case for a while.
After unveiling his autobiographical book ( Zayn ), Zayn Malik now collaborates with the luxury shoes brand Giuseppe. But that’s not all. Since their collaboration on “I Do not Wanna Live Forever” , fans of the 24-year-old singer hope that Taylor Swift will lend him a hand on his second solo album . But Harry Styles who has already unveiled the dates of his world tour does not intend to be defeated. Zayn Malik can collaborate with his ex as much as he wants and appeal to producers Malay (Sam Smith, Frank Ocean) and AR Rahman ( Slumdog Millionaire ), Harry Styles has already planned the coup. His new album is released on May 12, in a hollow period, His tour will take him through 12 different countries (including France) and he will be on display for the huge blockbuster of Christopher Nolan Dunkerque on 19 July. Harry Styles has all the cards in hand to be the big box of 2017, as was Zayn Malik in 2016. And you, what do you think of these two artists?
