I can almost believe this Gordon Smart comes here to read our posts.

Good to see all the guys were at the festival.

It's gotten more than 2 million views! In just under 4 days. I just hope the views keep growing. Surprisingly it's just as popular in the UK as it is in USA & Canada, Australia, most countries in SA, Scandinavia, some countries in Europe etc.

Apart from this, I hope they sing the acoustic cover of Grenade again sometime soon as they did on the tour.

Hi all , 1st post on the entire forum for me !
Been supporting the lads since day 1 on X Factor , I am approaching 40 so not as young as I was but think they have done so well , went to the tour and screamed like a teenager thou !! Much to the distain of my 15 year old son (I am not allowed any more to say he resembles Harry)
Decided to join here because I think we need more people posting on this thread

Anyway think they've done brilliantly , 5 normal lads living the dream , I know they will be massive , I do hope Radio 1 gets more behind them though , I know they've gone straight onto the B list but they aren't getting enough airplay !!

Welcome to the forum, joviali10. Nice to have some new posters . What do you think of the single? It is getting tonnes of airplay on music channels, its on all the time. I'm not too concerned about the radio thing.

Welcome to the forum Alison, don't worry, I'm one of the older fans as well, so you're in good company.
Really proud of the boys and I know they will be massive, they're getting good airplay on radio 1, but no doubt the single will do well any which way.

Thanks to String9 and Dancing Queen for the welcome

In response to your question I do love WMYB although I don't think its geared to my age group nor is the video. But I DO love it !!!! I think it does the job for the younger fans , can't wait to hear more of Na Na Na rather than the 30 second we are getting Getting plenty of airplay on the music channels but still don't think its getting the airplay it deserves on Radio 1.
Hope this changes ...

Will try and keep this thread alive.

Just listened to the Chris Moyles show from this morning, WMYB was played and Aled (meant to be a fan), is trying to get the boys to go on the show. Even though he doesn't know their names. (They had a guessing game on what their names are). Zayn, Harry, Scott????

So, something to look forward to 1D will be on the Chris Moyles show soon, I'm guessing just before/after the release of the single.

I hope they get a Moyles interview. I love his show! I did love the Scott Mills interview though. I'm sure the week the single is out, there will be some kind of Radio 1 promotion.

Loving the youtube stats! There is support for the boys all over the world. Also new Celebrity Juice is coming soon, there was talk of the boys going on there. Fingers crossed, one of my favourite shows.

Not sure, but I have a feeling only Louis and Zayn will be allowed on the show if they do go. Think you have to be 18 and over, but it will still be good and very funny no doubt.

2 weeks. Not bad, radio 1 need to play it more. Played it twice today. Hopefully move to A on the playlist.

I hope too that it gets more airplay on Radio 1, Greg James played it yesterday and said "whatever you think about them , its a brilliant pop song"
On the review show on tuesday night Huw Stephens only gave it 30% but did go onto say that its not his taste in music and that he thinks that acts from shows like the XF clogs up the charts and that they are not really credible artists and that no one would remember them in 2 years ! others on the panel were more positive with 50% .

On a nicer note have you all seen the pictures from the Sun supplement out on Saturday?
There are going to be 6 different covers , one for each of them and 1 with them all on.
I am a Newsagent so I will love putting the supplements in on Saturday morning

Well Liam's 18 in a few days and Niall in a few weeks, and Harry in February but I don't think it'll make a difference.
