They probably didn't expect every 1D fan to cherry pick Little Things off the album as that song's official single release was/is December?
Or maybe they did it because it was win/win for them if either get the #1. |

Little things wasn't planned for this week but after singing it on the X Factor it just took off all by itself so Syco brought it forward. Their album is out this week too so they had no intention to have them both out at same time.
Whatever happens it will be a good week for Syco sales wise but I would love to be a fly on the wall when Zayn and Perrie have a discussion about chart positions

Well it's a win/win situation for them!
And with Labrinth increasing on itunes again......it could be a Syco top 3 on Sunday! |

LM cant be No 1 ALL the time...it isnt about the position anyway, it records sales and and management/records companies weighing up the cost to see if its variable to keep that artist on their books!!
Anyway, we all know that 1D amd probably BM have the bigger fanbase!! WeLl done to all anyway!!! |

Like I mention yesterday ......Syco Domination......I can imagine him in his office just laughing out loud and looking at his bank statement
![]() , and he will have Olly in the top 3 next week as well, so that's 4 Syco acts in the top10 (I don't expect any of LM, 1D and Labrinth to drop out of top10 soon).

I do think Cowell is pushing 1D as much as possible, even if he has to sacrifice another act on his label. Like c'mon, nobody EVER performs on the saturday night of X-Factor. Not to mention the 45 times Dermot had to mention "oh and One Direction will be performing soon" at any given chance.
Also, it's like the very first live show, when One Direction were dragged out on stage for a chat, then disappeared. Irrelevant

X Factor needs One Direction more than One Direction needs X Factor.

Yes, I don't think that they expected Little Things to do so well since it is available at the same time as the album and those who buy the album don't need to buy it.

It is officially released on the 4th of December. People just love it so much they decided to download it before release.

Don't have a clue to be honest, but I bet they regret it now seeing how well LT is doing without being officially released.

I think Little Mix is going to be #2 this week which wount be bad at all for them.
I think Little Things is a very badly written song though. One Direction are just a brand now. Their music is written for them they are just puppets for SYCO |

I can't imagine this upsets them too much. If LM had got the #1 then it'd have been a great start for them to be able to say "3 #1's" but it's still going to do really well. 1D getting the #1 will just emphasise their success especially when coupled with their impressive US performance this week. Throw in Labrinth who will end up not far shy of 400k singles in 4 weeks and it's a pretty rosy picture for them this week.
