1D New Album Sells 115k in the 1st Day of Release
I'm no fan of their music, but selling 115K In the UK for day1 at this current climate is truly Amazing.
JAMES INGHAM @jamesinrehab 17m One Direction look set for the No.1 album spot this week selling over 115,000 copies of Midnight Memories in the 1st day. Gary Barlow at 2. https://twitter.com/JAMESINREHAB |

To be expected I guess. Honestly, 1D could release an album of themselves farting and it would still get No 1. :yawn:

This is also all thanks to pre-orders and the first day rush, so their diehard fans bought the album. It will be interesting to see the end result - I'm thinking 140-160K.

Was just looking on Buzzjack see if I can find how many albums have even managed those sales in their first week. Bet it's only a handful this year. The 20th best selling album of the entire year has only sold just over 200k.

WHY? maybe not your cup of tea but if enough people like their music and buy it what effect does that have on you! There's tons of artists doing well who I don't like but it doesn't depress me if they get top of the charts!!
People like Kaz Simmons, Joanne Shaw Taylor, Aynsley Lister and many many more have more talent in a single strand of hair than One Direction do collectively. Yet, they don't sell as much music. |

It's depressing because this country has a wealth of talent that can't get anywhere near the charts because the modern music industry is only interested in mass marketable tripe that fits a certain image.

Not so sure bout this. A number of shops have sold out. So it seems in addition to per orders, there's still a strong demand.
Frankly, I don't care who it is, I'm just happy to see higher sales in the UK chart after so long. |

Yeah but it's mostly kids and young teens who buy One Direction's music. That's who they're marketed at. There are loads of talented artists out there who don't get a look in because of talentless halfwits like this. 1D are not musicians. They're nothing more than a cash cow for Simon Cowell IMO. They're completely manufactured in every way.
I would say One Direction are very very very lucky young men indeed. I see only 2 with good voices and star quality. |

Correct, but that's not what the masses think of when they listen to the music, if they like the songs then they shall buy.

Come on guys, boybands have been volume-shifting powerhouses for years. The formula works, the formula will continue.

1D have started a 'Brit invasion' of America if you like, lots of British talent has gone out there and made it successful due to being British (not saying music in particular, but in other things too because of the 1D obsession), so in fact 1D being successful has helped other people make it (including content makers on YouTube, some of who were brought to the attention of their fans cos of them) |

Impressive but that is their problem. Sales are high for the first 72 hours and then drop like a stone. They début strong then fade, it's why they have never managed a US #1 single.
