He cited his reasons in an interview with the BBC as "being too much", as expressed his intent on focusing on being a producer, saying that he is "a producer, I make the songs, I can't stress that enough" and "I am the guy that writes them, makes them and mixes them. No-one really does that but that's what I'm good at". 18 Months became the first album to produce nine top ten singles from one album in the United Kingdom, surpassing the previous record set by Michael Jackson with seven singles from one album, with Billboard referring to the album as "one of the most important albums in dance music and modern pop history".Bein Kat Calvin Harris Found Himself & Launched an Era on '18 Months': Looking Back Five Years Later https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/calvin-harris-18-months-five-year-anniversary-review-8014975/ Billboard 23 May 2025 27 October 2017 The album marked a change for Harris, and for dance music overall as suggested by Kat Bein from Billboard, who said that Harris "unabashedly embraced big-room elements and pop-friendly song structures" on the album, and had "taken 2012’s pop-dance style then-championed by David Guetta to more critically-appealing heights". The albums title inspired the name for Harris's first compilation album, and seventh studio album overall, 96 Months (2024). The album features Harris's songs from the nine years prior to the albums release in 2024, and as a result, does not feature any of the songs featured on 18 Months.Bain Katie Calvin Harris Releases Hits-Spanning Compilation Album '96 Months': Stream It Now https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/calvin-harris-96-weeks-greatest-hits-album-listen-1235750209/ Billboard 23 May 2025 9 August 2024 Release and promotion The album received praise from music critics, with Billboard describing the album as Harris's "most surefire bid to step out of the “Produced By” shadows and become a recognizable U.S. pop artist on his own".Calvin Harris, '18 Months': Track-By-Track Review https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/calvin-harris-18-months-track-by-track-review-1066772/# Billboard 23 May 2025 29 October 2012 The album was released on 26 October 2012 in Germany, the Netherlands and Ireland, and on 29 October 2012 in the United Kingdom and France, before being released in the United States and Italy a day later.
