It's good but definitely the weakest of their charting singles so far. Not that that's a bad thing as that's quite the high standard!

 

I think it's way stronger than that one which followed 'Rather Be' (the name of which escapes me right now)

If Sam, Ed and George are so horrible who should be reigning then? Cheryl lol?

 

I would happily take that (as long as there's no more Crazy Stupid Loves).

Ooh no Extraordinary is by far their best for me! :D

I'm quite impressed at the 6 christmas songs in the chart this week - the most in a few years?

 

It's the first post Christmas chart I can remember where we've had so many Xmas tracks still in the chart!! I remember one year when there were 11 reentries and 3/4 new entries and all the Xmas tracks had gone...if streaming could so this every year I'd be happy!

 

Also, if next year is the anniversary of Kirsty MacColl's death please can we have a campaign to write the wrong of this never being a Christmas number one?!

Impressive jump for 'Shake It Off', but the lack of streaming killed any potential top ten return~
I may be purchasing my first Taylor Swift album. Shake it Off and Especially Blan Space are excellent.

 

I'm so surprised by it! 'Out Of The Woods', 'Style' and 'I Know Places' are also really special.

Biography

Following the success of JLS and the Wanted, X Factor contestants One Direction were the next group of heartthrobs to help revive the boy-band concept. The quintet outdid all of their predecessors, becoming the biggest boy band since Take That, selling millions of albums and singles, filling arenas and making movies, while hitting number one many times over across the world with undeniably hooky songs and plenty of boy next door charm.

 

The group was formed by Niall Horan from Mullingar, Ireland; Zayn Malik from Bradford; Harry Styles from Cheshire; Louis Tomlinson from Doncaster, and Liam Payne from Wolverhampton (the latter had previously reached the judge's house stages of The X Factor as a 14-year-old back in 2008). Each originally entered 2010's seventh series of X Factor as individuals, but following a suggestion from guest judge Nicole Scherzinger, they were grouped together to become One Direction. Mentored by Simon Cowell, they soon became one of the favorites to win the show, thanks to renditions of Kelly Clarkson's "My Life Would Suck Without You," Elton John's "Something About the Way You Look Tonight," and Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart." However, despite receiving a standing ovation for their duet with Robbie Williams ("She's the One") in the live final, they eventually finished third behind Rebecca Ferguson and winner Matt Cardle.

 

Spotting the potential of five Justin Bieber-esque teen pinups, Cowell signed them to his Syco label in a two-million dollar deal, and after performing on the X Factor tour, the quintet began work on their debut album with Savan Kotecha (Britney Spears, Enrique Iglesias). Following a sponsorship deal with Nintendo DS and a book, Forever Young, named after their cover of the Alphaville classic that was intended to be their winner's song, they released their first single, "What Makes You Beautiful," in late 2011. The full-length album Up All Night followed soon after. In 2012, One Direction became the first British band to debut on top of the Billboard 200 list when Up All Night sold over 176,000 copies during its first week of release in America.

 

In late 2012, One Direction released their sophomore album, Take Me Home. Highlighting more of the band's melodic pop, Take Me Home featured songs and production via Sweden's Carl Falk, Rami Yacoub, and Savan Kotecha, who worked on Up All Night, as well as contributions from singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran. The album proved to be another smash and topped charts around the world, earning multi-platinum certification in half a dozen countries. The singles "Live While We're Young" and "Little Things" also hit number one across the globe, and "Kiss You" reached the Top Ten in the U.S.

 

One Direction then embarked on a globe-spanning tour in which the band played over 100 shows, including six sold-out nights at London's massive O2 Arena. At the same time, they were being filmed by director Morgan Spurlock for This Is Us, a mix of documentary and concert footage that proved to be successful at the box office when it was released in August of 2013. While they were touring, One Direction also began work on their third album, Midnight Memories. Released just in time for the 2013 holidays, the record featured songwriting input from all the members, a new production team, and some new folk and '80s hair metal influences. It nearly outdid Take Me Home and Up All Night, peaking at number one in seven countries and spawning the singles "Best Song Ever" and "Story of My Life." - iTunes

Please God no. Her album sales might mean the public has awoken LOL

Her record for most #1s by a British female says otherwise x

I must admit Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith and George Ezra tracks are going to be sticking around for a fair bit yet, with the BRITs coming up in Feb and probably Taylor Swift if she is nominated for an International Award.

Yeah its selling for a fiver on Amazon (download) and £7 CD if you are interested. I've always thought she was ok but never felt compelled to buy an album. I think I will buy this. Blank Space one of my fav songs this year.

two 1D tracks in a row, yay :mansoncheer:

 

at least Night Changes doesn't look like spending as long near the top as Steal My Girl did

Double 1D, I'm in heaven *.* Night Changes still sounding absolutely gorgeous, easily one of their best for me.
