Harry Styles unwrapped sophomore album ‘Fine Line’ this week to ample acclaim and stellar sales out of the gate.

But beyond its bopable music, the project has been interpreted by some as hinting heavily  at Styles’ sexuality. With a sect of commenters citing the fluid flare of the video + lyrics of the LP’s lead single ‘Lights Up,‘ as well as Styles’ androgynous dress sense across the whole campaign.

In being an act who shuns the glare of the spotlight and the incessant attempts to pry into his private life, his silence on the matter (not that he owes anyone anything) has only served to the fuel the chatter.

Now, he’s setting the record straight. Or is he? See what we mean below…

Streaming has not only become the primary means of music consumption by the general public, but it’s also the compass industry insiders use to measure artist popularity.  To accommodate the shift, the last decade has seen Billboard update its longstanding rules on how and what data is included to calculate chart placement multiple times.

In addition to including streaming figures from multiple outlets (i.e. Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora) in its current Hot 100 chart rankings, the Music Bible has revised how those services are weighed within the formula, changed rules on merchandise bundling, and so much more to accurately reflect the public’s taste.

Now, as official video streams have long accounted for a great portion of song placements on the Hot 100, Billboard has revealed their intent to include data from YouTube and streaming services in the sales performance reports, chart placement, and historic rankings of the Billboard 200 (album charts).
