Who will be number 1- Rihanna v One Direction albums
Both albums will be released in the UK on the same date: 21st November 2011. Both acts will most definitely be performing on The X Factor the night before, but who will chart at #1?
One Direction- Young girls will most likely buy multiple copies obviously. Rihanna- Biggest international star in the UK. Massive fanbase. Could she do it? - this should have a poll, idk where it's gone though |

I think One Diretion will win aswell. They have a bigger fanbase than Rihanna.

It will be a big battle but i think one direction may just do it, both will have big sales though.what the hell is wrong with the saturdays managers etc releasing the album that week when they know they havnt a hope n hell of competing with the likes of rihanna and one direction.

1D are unstoppable at the moment. They have an absolute legion of fans.
I'd love Rihanna to do it but I don't think she has a chance! |

Not fussed really. But rihanna's album's (if you go by her track record) are longlasting in terms of their chart run

I'd say that Rihanna has a bigger fan base overall, but 1 Direction appeal to young girls and x-factor fans who will buy multiple copies. So while they will sell more, I think more individuals will be buying Rihanna.

I'd love Rihanna to do it but I don't think she has a chance! Having said that, I can't rule out 1 Direction either for obvious reasons, I expect they will both sell in very high numbers and when you factor in things like album signings, and possible special promotions at some retailers that will be 'must haves' for fans, I can see 1 Direction triumphing. ![]() Interestingly One Direction's album is still not available to pre order so obviously things are still being finalised with regards to which 'special' thing each retailer will have ie an incentive to buy from them, things like - bonus dvd with band footage, special covers, signed editions, postcards etc etc. It's an interesting chart battle though going up an albums heavyweight, JLS did the same and everyone thought they were crazy but triumphed in the end against Robbie. ![]() FYI, this is the full currently planned release schedule for that day Quote:
21st November Kate Bush – 50 Words For Snow Lady Gaga – Born This Way: The Remix Libera – The Christmas Album Michael Jackson – Immortal Nickelback – Here And Now Oh Land - Oh Land One Direction – tba Rihanna – Talk That Talk Rolling Stones - Some Girls [Deluxe Edition] Sade – Live The Saturdays – On Your Radar Seal – Soul 2 Twiggy – Romantically Yours Westlife - Greatest Hits The Wombles - tba NOW 80 Now DIsney

I think only Kate Bush will be the other main competition really. She may not be current but she's a British Icon and her albums do sell well. She has a very loyal fanbase. Plus it's an album made for winter. People will love it.

I think One Direction will do better in the opening week. But Rihanna will do consistently well and I can see her being Christmas #1 album again what with everyone buying it as a present. Didn't she sell over 300K last Christmas week?

I didn't realise Sade and Seal had albums out that day too. I think they will battle it out for the top two spots, as they both have massive fanbases in the Shetland Islands. |

The One Direction album won't last long in the charts, once the fans have bought it then that's it, nobody else will want it

One Direction will get to number 1.
They are soo huge at the moment and will walk to number one. It will be easy for them. |

I think Rihanna will get it. 1D's fanbase is marginalized into tween girls and a few others.
Rihanna's fansbase is both men and women, the majority aged 14 right up to 50.

I'm hoping Rihanna but I'm 99% sure it'll be One Direction. Unless Rihanna releases a monster second single and definitely gets a slot on XF.
'What Makes You Beautiful' sold 153k in it's first week and I can see the album sales being a similar number. |

I think it will go:
1. One Direction 2. Westlife 3. Rihanna 4. Kate Nash 5. The Saturdays Going by previous sale figures and current pre-orders. Nickelback maybe top 5? I believe all their albums have done it before? However, I think Rihanna could possibly sell the most when the overall campaigns are finished. |
