    I went on a little nostalgic 1D binge a few weeks back and realized he sings basically *all* the choruses on their hits, with only.a couple of exceptions. There's a reason Sony reportedly paid ~$75m to sign him, gave him his own record label, etc. I would say the other members do have distinct sounds solo, whether it's Louis going down the alt/indie rock path, Niall with the folk tinge, Zayn with moody R&B. Only Liam was really all over the place.

      They were being themselves throughout and even rebelled against 1D draconian management, Harry did not. Harry i find is more easily manipulated and controlled.
      Wearing a dress seems very performative and kudos to him but to make that the only factor of someone being themselves seems very reductive. BUT working, Harry has a very capable abd stellar PR team.

    Harry is really talented, so as the other members of One Direction, that´s why I think a lot of his success has to do with his public character, he just works on his stuff and that´s it. He doesn´t get in any scandals or problems, and while some of his relationships have been really public, which is obviously not surprising since he is so famous, Harry and his team have wonderfully managed the attention of his private life with his music.
    He´s just a guy making music and working on other stuff too, but never at the expense of someone else. Just think about it, he could have gossiped so easily about his time on One Direction, the members, his ex partners, etc, for promotion, attention or sympathy like others did, but he has never done that, and if he wants to express such feelings, he does it through his work. He seems really genuine and focused.

    Harry built his own fan base within the 1D fan base and from there basically became solo without being solo. I love harry and I loved 1D but I do think hardcore harry fans will like and go along with every single he does no matter what even if it’s just ok. And I think with that gave a really easy path for harry to go solo so seamlessly because his fans are more invested in him than his actual work.

That said it's mostly imo because he is super cool compared to majority of big celebrities. He has a big heart, a unique personality that catches the eyes of men and women, his music is refreshing and creative. He is a legend and people sometimes hate on him when he's called a legend and compared to legendary artists but I mean he literally is a unique talent and he's only 28 and already made an impact so massive.

      They wanna be gay without actually being gay. They want the edgy points without....being gay. How do they do that? Dress a little fruity for a couple months, come out with a music video that looks gay, Wait for those streams to go up because shock value, then whine about everyone talking about it (even though that was literally the whole purpose of the video) and say you're "questioning" for the rest of your life. Then all your hoards of brainless teen fans will flock to you and say you're a "gay icon". Lol.

      -Harry in a song called Medicine, a song about sucking dick
      Through the years, ever since his early 1D days, he has expressed attraction to men. He's not hiding his sexuality, the man's been out of the closet for years, people are just mad that he doesn't put a label on himself. There's a lot of unlabeled people in the world, I'm one of them, it's not weird or queerbaiting. Y'all are annoying

    Other factors that likely helped his success was starring in the movie Dunkirk the same year his 1st album came out. Definitely gave him some major traction. Also, unlike Zayn, Harry does a lot of public appearances like SNL, late night shows, and concerts, which are all crucial to getting your name out there.

      I don’t think Zayn is a good comparison to Harry tbh. And joining Dunkirk is not what makes him this big. It’s his work in music and personality that speak to most of his fans. He’s done very little promo but more of live shows. But everything he has done was pretty impactful and got people talk with/without intention. I think part of it comes from the fact that he’s a quiet rebellion who keeps doing what he believes. That’s a powerful inspiration for his fans but more like a big FY to non-fans who don’t seem to understand that they can’t bring him down while paying attention to him endlessly.

    It’s interesting how many people I know personally, including my father, who were never fans of or hadn’t even heard of 1D (as well as many people who never thought they’d like his music) but found Harry as a solo artist and fell in love with his music and his stage presence.
    Most of the people, men and women, that I’m talking about are in their 30’s or older (one gentleman as old as 84) and many of them are or were musicians and artists in their own right.
    There’s something about Harry’s effervescence that clicks with young audiences as well as older ones.
    And don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan of most of the solo work by the other members (except Liam; a shame since he’s got such a great voice), but in my personal opinion they’re just not as consistent as Harry.
    Or maybe it’s Harry’s pure, infectious joy in what he does?

    It was always between him and Zayn because the two of them had what the other didn’t they could sing, perform, and had CHARISMA! Unfortunately for Zayn bc of a poor relationship with his label and his unwillingness to promote his own music Harry was able to take the top spot! Being able to give good album rollouts / eras and promote your music is essential to solidifying yourself in the industry and he does that very well.
    Edit: For the people saying Zayn wasn’t/isn’t charismatic or can’t perform that is false he used to be very good at performing during the 1D days. He has mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and stress which makes sense considering how much he was stalked by paparazzi and fans so his ability to perform isn’t where it used to be which is what I pointed out and helped Harry become the stand out member of 1D.

Also in 1D to me he stood out, he even entertained crowds then, when there were technical problems, he would tell jokes or sing eg. It's bloody broken baby!!! OR We're having technical difficulties and going to sing this bit over and over again!!! If he had just stood around like the other members the crowd would have got fed up, they need something happening.
