    Well, 1D debuted at #27 in the U.S. with WMYB despite having no promo over there. TW had to work its way from the bottom up.

    I know.

    For everything that is said about them, they've tried incredibly hard to do well, they've toured constantly around radio stations and doing radio gigs for close to 2 years now.

    Having Braun as their manager has helped them in the smallest way. Their biggest mistake was getting sidetracked by America and losing fans here.

    I think it's a shame they've decided to do it now personally, I know most don't agree but I think there is 3 talented lads in that group, Jay isn't that bad and Siva, well he looks good. Kind of reminds me of the talent level of their rivals if I'm honest, except they have Nathan who is a brilliant singer and writer

    I agree. They tried so hard to break America they alienated the fans they have back in the UK. That really destroyed their career over here.

    1D's popularity in the US came naturally. The Wanted's felt forced.

    They could have come back I'm sure of it. Just less focus on the US. I hope they come back with a new sound and if they don't, as a fan I'm happy with the three albums I've got.

    Max has given an interview to Dan Wooton, apparently causing it a split and saying there has been tension for a year, that has led to Tom tweeting "fu*k you and fu*k you".

    honestly if they didn't bother to crack America they would sell more as their main fanbase is in the UK and some of europe

    On Sun+ at 10pm tonight..

    Wooton has shot himself in the foot a little, first he said the interview happened with Max in London, then when it was pointed out Max was in Manchester last night, the story changed to it happened over the phone at 11pm but then superfans looked at Max's twitter and he was tweeting pictures at the time Wooton says he was on the phone.. Very confusing lol.

    Unfortunately I won't be going anywhere near the site

    There has been a blind about tensions in a popular band which everyone presumed was 1D, perhaps it is TW. But saying that these blinds can just be all hot air anyway

    According to article, Scooter Braun offered solo deals, Max and Nathan said yes, Jay, Tom and Siva didn't want to.

    Max hasn't spoken to any of them since the announcement but says he and Nathan will both be on the tour.
