Posted November 16, 201113 yr how come they've broken the Australian market? Have they been doing a lot of promo?
November 16, 201113 yr It's a great pop song! They sell themselves sometimes, I guess it's got a lot of radio and TV support too... Currently #5 on Australia iTunes with Ed Sheeran's The A Team at #1 :D
November 16, 201113 yr What Makes You Beautiful is great! It's nice to see them getting some overseas success though...as I thought they'd be like JLS (limited to just the UK & Ireland! :P)
November 16, 201113 yr Author I like the song too. I'm surprised as a UK "pop" act hasn't really broken it in Australia in a while. I'm not talking about international stars like Adele or Coldplay, but the teenage acts that make pure pop songs. So it's good that 1D have broken the charts. Hopefully an X Factor perf or some sort will nail a top 3 for them. I also suspect Ed Sheeran will climb both the albums and singles chart this week.
November 17, 201113 yr ^ First week digital sales in South Korea - 12,039 copies. GAON's Main chart - outside Top 200 Intl. only - #20 Download - outside Top 200 Intl. only - #17 (12,039) Streaming - outside Top 200 Intl. only - #24 (45,301)
November 17, 201113 yr I am sure Ed Sheeran & One Direction performed on X Factor through there! Ed did, One Direction didn't. This week was Ed, Florence & The Machine and Stevie Nicks, last week was Susan Boyle and Ricki-Lee.

November 17, 201113 yr Author I'm surprised that this band has caught on so well internationally. This is the kind of international chart success JLS would kill for!
November 17, 201113 yr Author Although it has been a while since we 've had a 5 piece all white boyband... the UK's only given 4 piece mixed race boybands thus far!
November 17, 201113 yr Although it has been a while since we 've had a 5 piece all white boyband... the UK's only given 4 piece mixed race boybands thus far! Zayn isn't white or at least not completely?
November 17, 201113 yr Zayn looks like a mix race, so I wouldn't classify him as white either :P Edited November 18, 201113 yr by Oricon
November 18, 201113 yr OMG sorry, editted. No idea what got into me there, please excuse my poor asian english language :angel: Edited November 18, 201113 yr by Oricon
November 18, 201113 yr :huh: Why is the post a JLS bashing thread they are currently #83 on US itunes with like zero airplay they could easily get a hit in the US 1d no chance.
November 18, 201113 yr Which JLS single is top 100 on US iTunes? You Make Me Wanna I think it was prob played on X-Factor USA.
November 18, 201113 yr :huh: Why is the post a JLS bashing thread they are currently #83 on US itunes with like zero airplay they could easily get a hit in the US 1d no chance. As far as I noticed it wasn't? Anyway are they not appearing on US X Factor? Since there are no boybands left in that show it might be an idea.
