    It's okay I worked out what you were talking about when I went on youtube yesterday. I got so mad at the 1D fans attempts to scare away the new fans :mad:. It got to the point where I had to stick up for the new fans because they were ganging up and bullying particular users and telling them to kill themselves :(

    good of you sticking up for poor newbies who might be eager to navigate the dangerous highways of this deadliest of fandoms...:D
    sometimes i too wonder whether to laugh or cry at these "devoted" and hardcore fans...whether to be thankful or be frightened for the boys... teenage hormones lolz!!:p:D:D

    It's just so hard for the naysayers to get their heads round it. lol!!!:D
    Also I don't think the fan needs to apologise to the boys, they know the fans are there to see them.
    I'm sure they're overwhelmed by what they see happening around them, and they did thank the fans for coming to the airport..

    No radio airplay and no television appearances yet. Really doing extremely well with very little promotion so far.

    I know it's great :D. The US fans really need to start requesting WMYB. They'll probably have promotion lined up soon :)

    #8 on the Pop Chart
    #11 on the Main Chart

    I am absolutely FLAGGERGASTED at how well it's doing with:

    1) Next to no radio play (it's only playing on 3 US radio stations right now)
    2) Next to no promotion (the only thing they've done is premiere the video on Nickelodeon)
    3) No personal appearances or performances

    This is pretty much pure word of mouth.

    And it's cutting through all the clutter of the Grammy performances and Whitney Houston songs. AH-MAZING!!
