Updated! After a solid start, Walls has really collapsed oops. Fine Line has TIED for the longest-running 1D album in the UK top 10 though!! One more week until it overtakes Take Me Home 
Posted by: JosephInSpace 5th March 2020, 06:02 PM

Updated - Fine Line matches the 12 weeks Harry's debut album spent in the top 40, and it's yet to leave the top 10!
Posted by: Jay ☆ 7th March 2020, 09:29 PM
Deserved *.*
Posted by: JosephInSpace 14th March 2020, 01:30 PM
Fine Line has passed 150k and it's still yet to leave the top 10. To put that into context:
- Fine Line has spent longer in the top 10 than the self-titled album spent in the entire top 40 (13 weeks top 10 vs 12 weeks top 40)
- Fine Line has spent the same time in the top 10 as FOUR spent in the entire top 40 (13 weeks top 10 vs 13 weeks top 40)
The self-titled is selling roughly 1k a week at the moment, meaning it's roughly 41 weeks from that long-awaited platinum certification. Fine Line still has another 150k to go, but it's fair to say it'll probably leapfrog the self-titled and become the first solo 1D album to be certified platinum.
Posted by: JosephStyles 20th March 2020, 11:37 PM
Heartbreak Weather goes straight in at #1, making Niall the third 1D member to get a #1 solo album. This makes One Direction only the second band EVER to have three members with chart-topping albums, after The Beatles!
Its first week sales are actually lower than Louis had though, interestingly. A look at their first week sales:
237,338 Midnight Memories [01]
155,316 Take Me Home [01]
141,780 FOUR [01]
138,631 Up All Night [02]
093,189 Made In the A.M. [01]
056,630 Harry Styles [01]
049,082 Fine Line [03]
022,703 Flicker [03]
022,250 Mind of Mine [01]
014,729 Walls [04]
014,300 Heartbreak Weather [01]
009,910 LP1 [17]
003,043 Icarus Falls [77]
Elsewhere, Fine Line overtakes FOUR in total top 40 week territory.
Posted by: JosephStyles 27th March 2020, 07:26 PM
Updated - not much new to report but Niall's outsold Louis' known total in just two weeks despite a slower start!

still waiting that 600k mark
Posted by: JosephStyles* 11th April 2020, 05:08 PM
Updated. New figures for THREE 1D albums - Take Me Home (again - we've had weekly new figures for this for a while), Made in the A.M. (for a second week), and FOUR!
Posted by: Jay ☆ 11th April 2020, 07:02 PM
FOUR deserved more sales, but obviously it's impressive when it was a rather short era!
Posted by: Rafael x 13th April 2020, 03:54 PM
finally FOUR numbers
Posted by: JosephStyles* 18th April 2020, 04:22 PM
Updated. Take Me Home has re-entered the top 100 for the first time in 6 years
We've got updated sales for that, Midnight Memories, FOUR and Made In the A.M. too! As well as both Harry albums, Heartbreak Weather, and also LP1 for the first time in a little while.

The reunion if some sort will help get it closer to double platinum.

Posted by: Rafael x 20th April 2020, 11:14 PM
We've got updated sales for that, Midnight Memories, FOUR and Made In the A.M. too!
As well as both Harry albums, Heartbreak Weather, and also LP1 for the first time in a little while.No updates on Flicker
or UAN...Their album are climbing on iTunes and re-entering some charts WW but I'm surprised UAN isnt that high
Posted by: JosephStyles* 25th April 2020, 04:01 PM
Updated. All of the albums that had new figures last week also have new figures this week - none for Up All Night, Walls, Flicker or Zayn x2 I'm afraid.
Fine Line is one week off matching Made In the A.M.'s entire top 40 weeks... without ever leaving the top 10. It's doing impressively well still - it's almost doubled Take Me Home's top 10 weeks!
Posted by: Rafael x 26th April 2020, 03:38 PM
LP1 sold 900
They hate Niall and Zayn, ages without updates 
Posted by: JosephStyles* 26th April 2020, 04:32 PM
All of the albums with updated sales are charting in the UK top 200, that's how I have updates. The only people hating Niall and Zayn must be the UK public lol

Harry Styles Harry Styles 69 up 30 places
8 group related albums in total is great for them.

How bizarre that they're so high up in Ireland 
Up All Night is at #87 too. Seems weird that it's doing significantly worse than the other albums. It's a similar story in the UK where Up All Night isn't Top 200 but the other four albums are.

Updated - new figures for all of the same albums once again.
Fine Line reaches 20 weeks top 10, doubling Take Me Home's previous record. It also matches Made In the A.M.'s total top 40 weeks.

Fine Line smashing! I really am pleasantly surprised tbh. Not only at how good the album is but how it performed I sort of expected a big drop week two with it being a Xmas time release but the fact it’s never left the top 10 is amazing and well deserved. The album really was unlucky as it’s debut sales are like double what so many albums have easily went to #1 with!
Also was very impressed at the groups sales across their albums. 2 albums over 1m sales and a third album very close to 1m is great going! I think my favourite album them is either Midnight Memories or Four I’ll have to listen again at some point I did think they kind of grew a lot between the third and fourth eras but Zayns departure meant that Made In The Am for me wasn’t as strong but I’d probably still say I prefer it to their first two albums.
Solo Zayn kinda deserved better too. His debut may have went to #1 but it’s quick chart run was sad to see and the performance of his second album was awful and undeserved! I do think he could potentially claw back and find some success again but perhaps he’s more of a singles artist?

Just noticed you've listed Made in the AM as entering the charts in August instead of November, Joseph!
I too am really impressed by the sustainability of Fine Line. I thought it might move back up the Top 10 in January but I wasn't expecting it to still be there now! Shouldn't be a problem overtaking the total of his debut album.

Oops, thanks for pointing it out! Fixed
I'm so pleased with how Fine Line has done, it's completely blown my expectations away, I just wish it could sneak a new peak. They should release a couple of bundles and discount the album to push for it to make #1 on a quiet week, but I doubt they will
nevertheless, he'll be on 2 platinum albums before long, highly impressive in this day and age, especially as neither have had a huge Q4 boost either! (Fine Line's first week or two aside)

It would be great if it could make #1, perhaps when shops open again and they decide to push another single, maybe a timely discount too, the album could sneak a week at the top. Going by its consistency in the Top 10, it's not necessarily going to need a huge boost to make it if it was a quiet week for releases.
Regardless, as you say, two Platinum albums not particularly boosted by the Q4 market is quite a feat!
Posted by: JosephStyles 11th May 2020, 07:09 PM
Updated! Fine Line surpasses Made In the A.M.'s top 40 weeks. Next target is Midnight Memories. How far can it get without leaving the top 10, let alone top 40?
New figures for all the same albums once again. Take Me Home passes 1.1m.

Posted by: JosephStyles 23rd May 2020, 03:54 PM
Updated. Harry self-titled is back in the top 100 for the first time since the 2 year anniversary vinyl came out last July! Just one spot below Take Me Home.
Fine Line's back up to its #3 peak for the first time! Perhaps there's a chance at some point fairly soon for a new peak?
Posted by: Spiceboy 23rd May 2020, 05:06 PM
Harry Styles has totally outperformed the other two album who outpeaked him on that opening week! Such a shame he missed out on the #1 spot.
Posted by: JosephStyles 31st May 2020, 05:53 PM
Updated. No new total for Midnight Memories this week but otherwise the same albums get updated totals. Fine Line crosses 200k and FOUR will pass 700k this coming week.

Posted by: JosephStyles 15th June 2020, 05:22 PM
Updated! Take Me Home's back in the top 100 again, and Midnight Memories is back in the top 200 so we have another new figure for that. No Liam update, he's dropped back out.

the relevance!
Posted by: JosephStyles 23rd June 2020, 06:46 PM
Updated! Fine Line's back up to #5 and HS1 re-enters for the 2nd time this year, at #94.
Take Me Home is top 100 for yet another week at #100, while Heartbreak Weather drops to #101.........!!!!
No LP1 sales update this week but we otherwise have updates for the latter 4 1D albums, Harry x2 and Heartbreak Weather.
Posted by: JosephStyles 28th June 2020, 12:17 AM
Updated!
Some 1D certification estimates:
- Midnight Memories is selling just over 900 copies a week. If it keeps going at this rate, it should cross 1m in the final chart of 2020! As for 4x plat, March 2025 
- Made In the A.M. is selling just under 1000 a week roughly, if it continues at that rate it's on track for 2x plat roughly at the end of August 2021.
- Take Me Home's doing ~1.2k, it should make 4x plat in December 2021.
- FOUR's selling similarly - it'll go 3x plat in May 2024 at this rate!
- God knows about Up All Night, still no updates for that one.
In Harry news, Fine Line spends a 28th week in the top 10, and a 12th week in the top 5 without ever going higher than #3. Insane - I can't wait to see how many weeks it racks up in the top 10 in total. It's now matched the entire top 40 run of Midnight Memories, without ever leaving the top 10...!! The self-titled album also moves up to #87, marking its longest stint in the top 100 since 2018.
Certification estimates:
- Fine Line should hit platinum in October if it sells at this rate. This is perhaps the hardest to predict as its sales will surely sink in that time but hopefully it'll see a Q4 uptick and still manage it by the end of the year!
- HS1 is selling ~1.3k a week right now, at that rate it's on for platinum in November. By the end of 2020 we should have both Harry albums certified platinum!!
For Niall, Heartbreak Weather has now outsold the last known total for LP1 (at last...!). LP1's not had an update in a couple of weeks so it'll still be ahead, but we can safely say Niall will have actually overtaken within a few weeks. As for Heartbreak Weather's certification, this is also quite hard to predict (as it's relatively new and dropping in sales each week), but if it sold its current tally of 1.1k a week, it'll go silver in November.
A guess for Liam as well while we're at it - the last I knew, LP1 was selling ~800 copies a week. Still possible - last week's #200 sold 827 copies! If we assume it's still doing around 800 a week, it'll now be on 39,300, set to reach silver in the second last week of 2020.
As for the rest - genuinely no idea, we've not had recent enough updates on them!
Summary of my estimations! (in order)
October 2020 - Fine Line (platinum)
November 2020 - Harry Styles (platinum)
November 2020 - Heartbreak Weather (silver)
December 2020 - LP1 (silver)
December 2020 - Midnight Memories (1 million sales)
August 2021 - Made In the A.M. (2x platinum)
December 2021 - Take Me Home (4x platinum)
May 2024 - FOUR (3x platinum)
March 2025 - Midnight Memories (4x platinum)
Posted by: Jay* 28th June 2020, 07:32 AM
Thanks for those stats, Joseph! 
Tremendous success for the group albums, even though it does bewilder me slightly that their albums experienced a seemingly sudden and drastic increase in streaming that has been maintained for months now.
I'm really impressed with the consistency of Fine Line, and I really hope it can find a week where it manages a better peak than #3.
A pity that Heartbreak Weather has struggled a bit outside of its first week I actually heard it a week or so ago and it's a strong album.
I have a total of 38,392 for LP1 on 19th June - it sold 799 in that week and was technically #205! It was 12 copies behind #200 (811). So I'd guess 39,200 as of 26th June.
Posted by: JosephStyles 28th June 2020, 03:06 PM
Thanks for the LP1 update Jay! Glad you liked the stats *.*

Updated! Fine Line's officially overtaken Midnight Memories' top 40 weeks, without ever leaving the top 10. Insane!
Harry Styles the album is up to #82, again its highest position since the anniversary vinyl release just under a year ago. Take Me Home's back in the top 100 again too!
Posted by: JosephStyles 13th July 2020, 09:32 PM
Updated! HS1 climbs up to #69 this week and Take Me Home also climbs, pretty good going for both albums. Sales updates for the final 4 1D albums, both Harry albums and Heartbreak Weather once again. The latter's now outsold the last known LP1 total again but with Liam selling consistently, it might take another couple of weeks for Niall to actually be ahead.
Fine Line now on TRIPLE Take Me Home's top 10 weeks - 30 vs 10
Posted by: Liam.k. 23rd July 2020, 07:03 AM
From https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/ten-years-of-one-direction-10-chart-facts-you-probably-didnt-know-about-one-of-the-uks-most-loved-boybands__30301/:
Their debut, Up All Night, has 1.18 million chart sales, followed by:
Take Me Home (2012): 1.11m
Midnight Memories (2013): 980,000
Four (2014): 706,000
Made In The AM: 546,000
Posted by: JosephStyles 23rd July 2020, 12:56 PM
Up All Night was estimated to be on 1,165,900 at the start of the year, so it's now added 14,100 in 2020, ~486 sales a week (about half what the other studio albums manage...). It should take about 42 weeks to go 4x plat, which means it'll make it in May 2021.
I'm going to save this week's update until after Friday's chart but pleased to have a new Up All Night total to compare with Take Me Home in particular!
Posted by: JosephStyles 24th July 2020, 07:07 PM
Updated! Fine Line hits 32 weeks top 10... only just!
Amazingly, there's both Harry albums AND four 1D albums in this week's top 100! So they all have updated sales, and have reached their highest positions in.... a long time x
Heartbreak Weather also gets an update, it crossed 40k last week.
Posted by: JosephStyles 3rd August 2020, 02:59 AM
Updated! Big week on the album chart this week - THREE 1D albums are in the top 40, Midnight Memories is just outside, and Up All Night makes the top 200 at #124 for the first time in ages. This means we have new sales tallies for all five albums!
Using the estimated figure of 1,165,900 from the start of the year, that means Up All Night has sold 11,800 in 2020. That's ~381 sales a week, even lower than the above estimate (which was an overestimate thanks to the OCC's rounding). Think September 2021 instead of May for that 4x plat certification as a result.
After last week's narrow victory, Fine Line's a safer top 10 position this week, climbing to #7 for a 33rd week in the top 10! HS1 rebounds to #65, its highest position in its current re-entry to date.
Heartbreak Weather is the only other solo album to be charting this week, so that's got another sales update (and it was 27 sales off re-entering the top 100...!! 
)
Posted by: Rafael x 3rd August 2020, 04:07 AM
why it came back so high at #27? niall sweetie, re-release this album pls

Updated! HS1 achieves its highest position since week-ending 21st December 2017!
Posted by: Liam.k. 11th August 2020, 03:53 AM
I see that 'Fine Line' is now just 8.7k behind Stormzy's 'Heavy is the Head' which it debuted behind at Christmas. Stormzy was ahead for the first 11 weeks, at which point it had established a 61.2k lead over Harry - that gap has narrowed significantly and Harry will definitely overtake. Don't think anyone would have expected that at the beginning of the year!
Posted by: JosephStyles 23rd August 2020, 04:32 PM
Updated for the past 2 weeks. Only Take Me Home remains top 100 out of the 1D albums but all of the last 4 continue to have new totals.
Fine Line's now managed a huge 36 top 10 weeks, though it's becoming increasingly lucky to hold on so I think its run will probably end soon. Nonetheless, it's completely obliterated any 1D album in that department...!
HS1 has now reached a full year (52 weeks) spent in the top 100.
Posted by: JosephStyles 29th August 2020, 06:43 PM
Updated! Fine Line reaches week 37 in the top 10, but this is a busy week. Can see it sadly ending its run this coming Friday!
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 29th August 2020, 10:58 PM
If it drops out this week I think it will return again fairly soon.

Posted by: pippa 3rd September 2020, 12:06 AM
It is looking certain it will lose its top 10 placing for the first time this week.
LP1 will at some time achieve silver certification.

Posted by: JosephStyles 14th September 2020, 04:13 PM
Updated! Fine Line nabs a 38th week in the top 10, re-entering at #10. It's a race between Fine Line and HS1 to see which will reach platinum first - at this rate, Fine Line will make it in ~5 weeks, HS1 will make it in ~6...!!!
Weird to think that Fine Line has almost 4x as many top 10 weeks as Take Me Home, yet Take Me Home has just under 4x as many sales 
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 14th September 2020, 04:59 PM
It would be nice if both Harry's albums went platinum the same week.
Posted by: JosephStyles 19th September 2020, 08:51 PM
Updated! Same albums get new totals - the last four 1D albums, both of Harry's, and Niall's Heartbreak Weather. Now just 8k between the two Harry album totals! Fine Line gets a 39th week top 10 too, almost quadruple Take Me Home's total
Posted by: JosephStyles 27th September 2020, 11:25 AM
Updated! Fine Line gets a 40th week top 10, meaning it has quadruple the next highest tally (10 for Take Me Home). It's actually now only 9 weeks away from matching Take Me Home's total top 40 weeks
Heartbreak Weather crosses 50k, continuing its slow trickle to silver.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 28th September 2020, 12:22 AM
I hope heartbreak weather will get to silver, fine line is holding so steady and a new single will help it to keep going.
Posted by: Jay* 3rd October 2020, 03:40 AM
Louis Tomlinson - Walls has sold 32,981, including 738 sales this week!
Posted by: JosephStyles 3rd October 2020, 06:34 PM
Thank you Jay! It was on 17.1k when it left the chart, so on average, that's 497 sales a week across 32 weeks (but I assume generally less than that with this week being higher thanks to the fan boost). At that rate though, it'd make silver in October 2021, which wouldn't be such a bad result in the end.
Updated for this week. Fine Line departs the top 10 again sadly, but it should finally be platinum in a couple of weeks now! It should pip HS1 to the post but that won't be far behind.
re. the 1D albums, Made in the A.M. actually only sold 1 copy less than Take Me Home this week - interesting when TMH has been so far ahead before! Midnight Memories should pass 1m before the end of the year too
Posted by: JosephStyles 12th October 2020, 04:46 PM
Updated! Interestingly, Made In the A.M. is now the top 1D album and re-enters the top 100!
HS1 is still above Fine Line in total sales, but Fine Line should squeeze over plat this week whereas it'll take a couple of weeks for HS1. Basically, Harry should have two platinum albums in a couple of weeks' time!
Posted by: JosephStyles 16th October 2020, 02:55 PM
FINE LINE PLATINUM 
Posted by: JosephStyles 17th October 2020, 04:10 PM
Updated! Fine Line has overtaken HS1's sales in just 10 months, and does so in the same week it goes platinum. It's the highest selling solo album now! HS1 should be platinum, at the latest, within 2 weeks.
MITAM spends another week top 100, and Midnight Memories should be over 1m by the end of the year.
Posted by: Jay* 17th October 2020, 04:47 PM
Deserved
Posted by: Spiceboy 17th October 2020, 06:47 PM
Truly deserved for Fine Line, I look forwards to Harry Styles album also achieving it as I think both of them are the best solo One Direction albums! (To be fair I've only heard them two and Flicker lol)
Posted by: JosephStyles 24th October 2020, 03:34 PM
Updated! It's finally happened, Harry Styles the album is over 300k and certified platinum Every album Harry's released (solo + group) is now platinum as a minimum, so he has 7 of them to his name!
Posted by: Spiceboy 24th October 2020, 09:18 PM

So good for Harry achieving 2 platinum selling solo albums.
Fine Line has many more sales ahead in its chart journey.
Posted by: JosephStyles 1st November 2020, 02:52 PM
Updated! Fine Line rebounds 9 places to #9 this week, which is its highest position for 9 weeks... lots of 9s HS1 is up 11 to #55, also its highest position for 9 weeks. Golden music video boost has had a huge impact!
MITAM sneaks back into the top 100 at #100, and Midnight Memories is now just weeks away from passing the million
Posted by: JosephStyles 7th November 2020, 11:20 PM
Updated! Midnight Memories is just a few weeks off 1m Heartbreak Weather re-enters the top 200 so we have a new total for that, hopefully silver by the end of the year!
Posted by: JosephStyles 14th November 2020, 05:06 PM
Updated! A few things to look out for in the coming weeks:
- Midnight Memories is about 4 weeks off 1 million
- Heartbreak Weather is, similarly, about 4 weeks off silver
- Fine Line is 3 weeks away from overtaking Take Me Home's top 40 weeks total, putting it 2nd only to Up All Night!
Posted by: JosephStyles 21st November 2020, 08:05 PM
Updated! Fine Line is now one week off matching Take Me Home's top 40 weeks, which it achieved in 3 separate stints - Fine Line is of course going to make it to 50 consecutive top 40 weeks!
Posted by: JosephStyles 29th November 2020, 08:07 PM
Updated! Sadly Fine Line drops to #26 this week as Q4 really impacts, it'll rebound in the new year I'm sure.
Midnight Memories isn't top 200 for the first time in ages but we've still got a new total thankfully!
Posted by: JosephCarey 5th December 2020, 04:56 PM
Updated! Fine Line is officially the 2nd longest running 1D album in the top 40, overtaking Take Me Home's 50 weeks. Just one more week until it's spent a whole year in the top 40! 
No total for Midnight Memories this week, the album chart is busier than usual so the stream-heavy albums do tend to drop a bit at this time of year. We might miss the week it crosses 1m though!
Posted by: Rafael x 6th December 2020, 04:53 PM
but i think it sold 1k again as usual
Posted by: JosephCarey 6th December 2020, 05:03 PM
Yes it usually sells just under 1k so we can quite easily tell when it'll hit 1m, but it'll be nice for official confirmation! It'll cross the mark this coming Friday 
Posted by: Rafael x 7th December 2020, 11:47 AM
Maybe MW or OCC can post about it... but i dont think so
Posted by: Rafael x 11th December 2020, 03:42 PM
Heartbreak Weather has gone SILVER in the UK;
Posted by: JosephCarey 13th December 2020, 02:42 PM
Updated! Only MITAM remains in this week's top 200 out of 1D's albums but I've got a new total for Take Me Home too.
Niall has reached 60k and a silver certification as mentioned above, and Fine Line's officially spent a full consecutive year in the top 40 albums!
Posted by: JosephCarey 22nd December 2020, 01:41 PM
Updated! Fine Line jumps to #15 this week thanks to the anniversary vinyl boxset Sadly HS1 dips out of the top 100 for the first time in ages though.
Take Me Home overtakes Made in the A.M. to be the top 1D album again, though they're the only two in the top 200.
Posted by: JosephStyles 8th January 2021, 07:53 PM
Updated for the past few weeks! We have sales again for the latter four One Direction albums and confirmation of Midnight Memories passing 1m
The big story this week is Fine Line finally reaching a new peak of #2! It spends a 56th consecutive week in the top 40, slowly trundling to the record for that, while it's wiped the floor with the record for most weeks top 10 - 43 to Take Me Home's 10.

Well done Midnight Memories *.*
A new total for Niall Horan - Heartbreak Weather: 62,642 as of 1st January 2021

A new total for Niall Horan - Heartbreak Weather: 62,642 as of 1st January 2021
Nice to see he has at least gone silver a shame he couldn’t / didn’t really do a proper campaign for this album. I’m sure I’ll get round to purchasing it at some point his first one was ok.
Posted by: JosephStyles 17th January 2021, 05:07 PM
Updated! MITAM and Take Me Home are closely battling for the top 1D album - they're side by side in the top 200 for the second week in a row and MITAM is marginally ahead
Heartbreak Weather's back in the top 200 so we have a new total again for that. Fine Line's inching its way to 400k, should be there within the next couple of months.
Next week, we'll see where Zayn will chart - dramatically higher than #77 I expect even if it's on similar sales...!
Posted by: JosephStyles 23rd January 2021, 04:34 PM
Updated! Some interesting observations this week:
MITAM has gone from being the top 1D album to only the third most popular this week - Take Me Home is first and FOUR moves into second! Midnight Memories fourth and Up All Night last, sadly that one still hasn't re-entered the chart other than for the anniversary last year.
Nobody Is Listening enters at #17, selling 400 copies more than Icarus Falls managed (and obviously peaking 60 places higher...!). We also have a new figure for Icarus Falls - 34,381! In the list below, that puts it above Walls, but the Walls figure is a little outdated now so I'd expect that's still actually sold more than Icarus Falls. Nonetheless, considering its peak, that's actually not such a bad total.
By opening week sales
237,338 Midnight Memories [01]
155,316 Take Me Home [01]
141,780 FOUR [01]
138,631 Up All Night [02]

Niall hasn't done that bad really when you consider the lack of promotion and not having a real hit, if he'd been able to do a proper promo trail or had a song take off I'm sure the sales would be much closer to 100k. A shame Nice to meet ya didn't take off properly it's one of the better One Direction solo songs.
Also over 30k for Zayn is impressive with that peak I mean Melanie C peaked at #8 but there's no way she will achieve these sales, hell even Madonna peaked at #2 and was somewhere round these sales for her last album.

Zayn has the advantage of having a large streaming audience, so Icarus Falls is likely adding 200-300 sales a week, even though its pure sales were atrocious. 200 a week would provide Icarus Falls with over 10k sales a year. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if 90% of Zayn’s album total is thanks to streams.
It’s the same scenario with the other 1D solo albums. LP1 was quite a disaster on arrival, but nevertheless it’s probably getting very close to 60,000/Silver. I’m fairly confident it must have exceeded 55,000 now!
Sadly Melanie C would never be able to consistently add hundreds of sales a week to her total like 1D soloists, she’s always destined to be front loaded with pure sales which can’t be sustained! Conversely to Zayn her total is probably 90% pure sales. Madonna - Madame X sold 50k by the end of 2019, but she also suffers from relatively bad streaming for her modern music. It’ll reach silver eventually though.
By the way, I’m still mildly bewildered that some of the 1D albums have been adding ~1k a week to their totals for the past 10 months or so, given that their albums had little to no chart presence in 2016-19. I don’t get what caused their old albums to suddenly explode on streaming. Take Me Home was #110 last Friday with 1,207 sales; 1,076 of it was streaming. It achieves similar numbers week after week. I don’t get it.

I wonder if Harry's solo success has been a contributing factor? It makes sense to me that their albums would be constant presences as all five were huge (poor Up All Night barely getting a look in though 
), and their fanbase is very much today's streaming generation, but Harry could well have boosted the interest, much like HS1 hanging around consistently in the top 100 nowadays!

Up All Night always being conspicuously absent from the chart is another strange detail that leads me to question the streaming sales of their other albums, particularly Take Me Home, which almost always seems to lead the way! The consistency of their 2nd-5th albums having a constant presence in the Top 200 is what I find most bizarre, particularly because none of these albums were rinsed for singles (for that reason it’s more understandable to me that albums like Teenage Dream, The Fame and Good Girl Gone Bad are always lurking). If I remember rightly the 1D albums didn’t re-emerge until hype about their impending 10 year anniversary started to gain traction, a little way into 2020, and since then the albums have not waned at all 
I know I should stop dwelling on the overall messiness of the album chart considering it’s unlikely to change any time soon I find the eternal presence of various Greatest Hits albums in the Top 40 relatively more annoying than 1D albums
