One British Group to split in 2014
http://www.urturn.com/documents/C5BFAFF1-35D0-0001-2DB1-B094A9C552C0
One of Britain's biggest chart acts is to take a break in 2014. The group, who will announce the news later this year, will temporarily split to pursue solo projects. They'll release one more album and undertake a huge tour first.
Who could that be?
Personally, I find it stupid when groups do this. Some members think they are better than the rest so they have big dreams of becoming the next Williams or Timberlake. Then when they flop, they reunite in hoping to reclaim their former glory.
The way it was described, it looks like it could be One Direction, but I hardly doubt Simon would allow that.
So, it must be someone else. Maybe The Wanted, but they are hardly "one of the biggest chart acts"...

My guess it will be The Saturdays.
The Saturdays are less successful than both The Wanted and One Direction, and also group splitting for solo careers tends to happen when there's members of the group that are famous in their own right, and I can't really think of anybody in The Saturdays who is. So maybe I'm wrong, but I doubt it's them.
They're also doing a massive tour, so I think it's them.
I agree. One Direction definitely have a few more years in them at least.
But other groups like Girls Aloud, the Pussycat Dolls and the Black Eyed Peas took breaks and did solo careers even though they were successful before.
I agree it's a risk. In the case of the Pussycat Dolls, their solo careers (apart from Nicole) haven't been that big, and even Nicole was much, much bigger as part of the Pussycat Dolls than she is by herself, they really shouldn't have split up.

I hope it's neither mainly because if One Direction split then the haters have got exactly what they wanted and The Saturdays released the summer anthem "What About Us" this year so I think they can do better and better and I'd miss their music I think.
The only group I'd be devasted if they split is Little Mix but I think 2014 will see them continue to grow and get bigger around the world so I doubt it's them.
Oh really? Well that could be them for sure then. They certainly fit within the description - they are releasing a new album and are having a large stadium tour in 2014. And it could be very well that they are starting the break in 2014 immediately after the tour.
However, if even one of them gains some success, I bet they would never get back together, just like Nsync never did. They wanted to be solo artists in the first place after all so...
It should be The Wanted and not One Direction because 1D have got a film and a book coming out, a new album on the way and they have a huge stadium tour coming up so I don't think they'll split up - it should be The Wanted who break up for good!!!

All those little directioner's broken hearts............:D
No that isn't what the article said. Cowell was referring to Justin Beiber and his antics and said if one of his acts were being overworked (having a meltdown) he would give them a year off. He didn't mention the act by name but I guess as they are the hardest working at the moment he was meaning them.
I thought 1D were locked into a 5 album deal with a huge bonus if they get to the end of it so not sure is them
Could be the wanted seen as they don't look like they are setting the charts on fire. This could be a way out for them and saving face at the same time
the wanted, huge tour? as guests of justin bieber maybe :rolleyes:
If its the Sugababes that could be about dozen solo projects.
Nice one abrightyz - TW I don't think will EVER come near the huge success of the amazing 1D!!!!!!!!!!
