It really is the best thing. James Corden should be the only one allowed to interview them in the future.

Yes. I love the No Control bit. So funny. Good to see it looks like Made in the AM will get a boost in the charts this week.

Yes, it's already up to #8 in today's midweeks and still in the itunes top 10.

History has climbed from #20 on in Monday's midweeks to #11 today. So a top 10 position looks very likely now, especially since it's been climbing fast on Spotify as well (up to #28; was in the lower top 200 before their performance on Sunday!).

Slightly confused. I though the boys were working until March but they are acting as if all work is over now.
What is the case?

BTW-History is still rising on itunes.

I think the hiatus has started, they might just be back together for the Brits in February/March

Has it actually been released officially yet, or is that the Album track entering?

I know it's the new single. It's just that with streaming and downloading the lines between single release dates and albums have become a bit blurred. A song can enter the charts just by people buying the song as a single track from the album ala Justin Bieber who has 8 tracks in the top 40 when only two songs have been released officially from his album. There is no mention of History as an official release yet on their website and also on Wiki etc. I am not saying it's not going to happen, it just looks like it hasn't happened yet.

It was announced on their Twitter page. At the moment it makes no difference if it is released officially or not. They need a song for the album promo and History is not doing too badly.

On a different note, the boys are named MTV Stars of 2015.

Album up 1 position to #8 (47k sales). Total now at 243k. Should be platinum (300k) at the end of the year or in the first weeks of January!

Just spotted Nialler in the audience at the BBC sports personality of the year award. Looking dashing.

I hope everyone had a good Christmas.

Do we think a new concert DVD with the four of them this time will be in the offing, to keep us all interested during the hiatus?

MITAM up 3 positions to #5 (32k sales), total now at 333k and it's offically been certified platinum.
By the way, they were only 6 copies ahead of Little Mix' album. And Coldplay's new album is already down to #7, even though it's only been released in December.

History up to a new high (#7, 45k sales/streaming equvalents), total now at 148k.
Perfect is at approximately 341k, DMD at 460k. It's been a while that they've had 3 quite big singles from one album!

Really happy and surprised to the see MITAM and History doing so well.

Also LM album was way ahead, it seems to have slipped. Nice one for the smug LM fans constantly having a go..

Just read the new Zayn interview and it seems that Liam is the only one that he is still on good trms with. Shame.
Still waiting for a video for History. Even if it is just a clips one it would be better than nothing.

They made a video for Infinity, not sure if we will ever see it. I agree a clips video for History will be great. Anything is better than nothing.
