I see Matty from the 1975 has been having a pop at 1D and Harry. Yep they forget without Harry tweeting about them they wouldn't be as popular as they are now. Sorry credible artists

I heard there interview on radio one when they came back with this album and I thought sheesh talk about an entitled pompous band and Matty in particular but then with a mum like he has .....enough said!

UK charts:

History down to #12 (31.492 sales/streams--> total 391k) --> gold next week!
MITAM down to #21, selling around 5k (total now 393k)

And a nice paragraph from the official sales report:

Meanwhile, One Direction secured their second million seller when their second album, Take Me Home, reached the target eight days ago. After debuting at No.1 (155,316 sales) in 2012, the album spent 70 straight weeks in the Top 75, and currently sells about 500 copies a week. Its to-date tally of 1,000,924 sales trail only the 1,128,715 copies that their 2011 debut Up All Night has sold

I'm guessing Louis and Liam have recorded an acceptance speech in LA?

Lucky you. Louis comes across as a genuine guy, so not surprised. Shame you didn't meet Liam.

http://variety.com/2016/film/news/ha...rk-1201728153/

I think it's real, but probably won't be a big role.

He'll be fine. He can follow direction (video for best song ever) Best bit is the hair will have to go! Just hope he does it for sport relief or charity anyway and kill two birds with one stone .

And in other news Cheryl and Liam are ................... fill in blanks

Music video is hardly the same as a movie, but If he auditioned for the part and got it as it's being reported, well done to him. I won't be surprised if he's been taking acting lessons.

Cheryl and Liam is all PR in my opinion. Harry and Kendall, Zayn and Gigi, all PR. Louis fighting to see his son, Niall, busy pissing on the streets. Lol! Hiatus is going great so far.

On a different note, congrats to the boys on the Nick KCA award, don't know what they won though. Harry seems to be the only one thanking their fans these days.

Thought someone has to mention that Harry has (finally) cut his hair. Just for the record...
Looks good

Some sales news: http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-...em-all__16444/

One Direction
Baby they lit up our world like nobody else, and they certainly managed to set the charts alight too. For singles, 1D lead the way, with 10.7 million combined sales, especially thanks to their very first Number 1 What Makes You Beautiful, which is our newest million-seller. They've scored four Number 1 singles altogether: What Makes You Beautiful (2011), Little Things (2012), One Way Or Another (2013) and Drag Me Down (2015). On the albums' front, things aren't too shabby either, with an impressive combined sales and streams tally of 4.16 million, and all but one of their albums hitting Number 1. That gives them a combined UK chart sales tally of 14.9 million albums and singles, meaning that, for the moment, anyway, they are the biggest stars of The X Factor. And they didn't even win!

(and that's in the UK only!)

Great new song by Louis! My favourite of all their solo songs so far (don't know Zayn's album, just the singles).
Performance: very brave of him to do that! Not the best vocals though
