One million +. It was over 800k according to Billboard chart last week.

Still a long way off Adele's 10 million though! She set the benchmark!

I'm not a fan of 1D but course it is. Adele appeals to more of a widespread audience, and the album has been out for 23 months vs. 3 weeks.

As much as i respect the 1D brand...i think it comes down more to style than substance

They have no vocal prowess but like beiber, they have hormones on their sides. That is why 1D is a fad and they will not win a grammy. They are essentially the nsync/bb boys of this new era

take that destinys child tlc are musicians....1d not so much

congrats to them...a platinum record is a platinum record

Call Me Maybe got a nomination. The Grammies are slowly fading into irrelevancy.

Call Me Maybe deserved a nomination. Like it or not, the catchiness of it was sheer genius.

Congratulations to 1D too. I wish they wrote more of their songs though.

What's the difference between "sold" and "shipped"?

Sold is how many copies bought, shipped is how many copies the record label has sent to shops etc.

Shipped is all that matters to the record label as they get the money for the album (as far as I'm aware).

its shocking how well theyve done, considering how mediocre they were on the x factor

my mum and my little sister loves them, me bleh I dont really care they are ok and some of them are quite cute

i dont like any of their previous album, however their new singles of this album so far are pretty good, I kinda like it (yes, im thoroughly embarrassed to be admitting that)

I must confess to rather liking their X Factor performance on Sunday. They're doing really well - Little Things has been a real wildcard success for them, it's picking up spins at quite some rate on US radio considering the kind of song it is. Even without massive airplay presence the album has been holding up well.

Co-writing 5 is a good start for their 2nd album.
