Zayn's adlibs in 'You & I' is the greatest moment in their discography.

In fact I could really do with a Zayn solo version of it.

They had some proper tunes, the whole top 7 are all pretty much 9/10 or above. The bottom three are rancid though and Like I Would is pretty shit too.

The other boys are going to have a hard time to top Pillow Talk for best 1D debut solo single!1

They have had a really fantastic run of singles, bar 'GBY' & 'MM', I know I ranked 'OWOA' last but one but that was for charity and it did the trick it gave them another chart topper. But as for the other 2, they were just totally wrong, the former followed their debut and sadly didn't compare to it at all, just a very weak choice and it's chart performance proves that and even they have disowned it. I still think that if 'More Than This' or 'Taken' was released as the 2nd single, either would have been a bigger hit and not be a blemish on their other wise really strong discography.

As for 'MM', it's an okay song and sounds really great live, but just didn't work at all as a single as the studio version loses it's edge it has when performed live and especially following on from the massive success of the album's previous 2 singles 'BSE' & 'SOML'. There were several tracks on the album that could have seen a release such as 'Diana', 'Don't Forget Where We Belong' or 'Happily'. But in my opinion 'Diana' would have been the best choice as it did chart high in several countries as an album download and okay it wouldn't have been as big as the 2 lead singles, but it would done better than scraping the top 40, I'd say probably top 10 or top 20 chart placing.

Also it was such a shame that 'Four' was cut so short with only 2 singles, if 'Where Do Broken Hearts Go' did get released as planned then I would have definitely placed it in my top 5 ranking of their singles. Again with the 'Made In The A.M.' era, I know 'History' was a fantastic send off, but it would have been nice to get one more single, 'What A Feeling' would have been my choice personally.
