Even though he wrapped his Love on Tour outing two years ago and hasn’t released a new album since 2022’s Harry’s House, Harry Styles has definitely still got it. For proof just look at People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive 2024 Readers’ Choice Poll, which saw almost 350,000 votes cast in what the mag said was the “most fiercely contested Sexist Man Alive readers’ choice poll yet.”

In the run-up to the Nov. 12 reveal of the annual Sexiest Man Alive, People said this year’s reader’s voting included some intense politicking from fans involving custom shirts, attack ads and celebs nominating themselves as write-in candidates.

In a hard-fought battle with Shaboozey, Zach Bryan and Role Model, it’s no surprise Styles came out on top. “Harry Styles already knows victory tastes sweet (after all, he’s won in this category multiple times before) but this year it was even more delicious,” People wrote, noting that “Scumbag” singer Role Model ran a very intense, but fruitless,TikTok campaign for the crown.

Who else was dubbed too sexy for the mag?

Joe Jonas was named “Makes BRAT Look Sexiest,” thanks to his “sassy social media presence, cheeky attitude and take on Charli XCX’s ‘Apple’ dance.” The Bear and Bruce Springsteen Deliver Me From Nowhere biopic star Jeremy Allen snagged “Sexiest Tattoos,” besting Post Malone and Bad Bunny. In the least surprising result, Jason and Travis Kelce easily took home “Sexiest Podcast Host” over Penn Bedgley (Podcrushed) and Josh Peck (Good Guys).

And in a race that was likely too close to call, Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson was named “Sexiest First-Time Dad” over Justin Bieber and Maluma.

Aaron Dessner Sets the Record Straight on Gracie Abrams’ ‘Death Wish’: It’s ‘Definitely Not’ About Taylor Swift

The producer also shared how he ended up performing with Noah Kahan over the weekend.

Aaron Dessner and Gracie Abrams have now made three albums together, with the pop star’s third studio effort, Daughter From Hell, arriving July 17. But one song in particular has stirred up a few misconceptions, and in a recent conversation with Billboard, the producer cleared them up.

Hopping on a Zoom call on Tuesday (July 21) — just days after joining Noah Kahan on stage in New York to perform one of The Great Divide songs he produced, a cameo that severe weather almost ruined — Dessner addressed confusion over the production and subject of “Death Wish,” one of the most talked-about tracks on Daughter From Hell. Some listeners have expressed surprise that the spritely album version sounds so different from the somber live piano version Abrams initially recorded and released amid her Secret of Us Tour, questioning why the duo would “change” the “original.” (Spoiler alert: They didn’t.)
