I must dig out the YTDs from 2010 and trace Love The Way You Lie's slow rise up the chart to land an #1.

Just heard some of this. 2010 was an unbelievably shit year for hits.

2011 has 12 or 13 million sellers now, doesn't it?

One Direction – What Makes You Beautiful

 

Chart Run within the top 75: {1}-3-5-4-10-12-18-23-27-25-20-24-35-24-21-14-17-28-37-44-47-41-47-48-54-61-64-57-63-55-66-66-63-73-74-73R(2)-32R(12)-55-57-54-65-66-67-62-62-61R(3)-57-45-69-61R(5)->50

 

This for me is still their best song, not a huge fan of them overall but I'd rank it up there amongst the best boyband debuts for sure! Joseph didn’t make me say that... honest :kink:

 

 

 

Fun fact: "Love The Way You Lie" was blocked by "Dynamite" in the UK, when it was the other way around in the U.S.!

Hated this at the time but love what makes you beautiful nowadays, great song :wub: Only Little Things and Night Changes tops it for me

Ergh at this. 1D have made a few good songs but I still stand by 'What Makes You Beautiful' being dreadful despite the shockingly large number of people with generally good taste who like it on here.

Of course kicking it off with the best song on there :wub: :kink:

Guilty pleasure alert! The hype was certainly lived up to in the shape of this track, just a fun, incredibly catchy pop song.

EW EW :puke:

'What Makes You Beautiful' isn't really one of my favourites really (the almighty trio of 'You and I'/'Midnight Memories'/'Story of My Life') but it's decent enough.

I didn't mind WMYB at the time but I can't stand it now.

2011 was filled with generic dance-pop with the odd ballad thrown in ofc.

 

What Makes You Beautiful *.* I'm no Directioner but this is a banger, so many uni memories from this.

Sweat :puke2: :puke2: :puke2:

This is really so awful :puke2:

Snoop Dogg vs David Guetta – Sweat (Remix)

 

 

Chart Run: 16-12-16-9-{4}-6-5-6-8-9-7-9-14-19-25-27-33-35-38-44-46-42-48-61-63-64-62R(5)-71->28

'Sweat' :music: :music: :music: I forgot this was as high as this in the 2011 Y/E! What a banger though, one of Guetta's best songs.

I DO still sorta like WMYB because it's like the only One Direction song that I've found to have really crossed into the mainstream and it's quite good for them but it does have the downside of reminding me how smug they are with every line.

 

Sweat, haha. Near completely forgot about this one.

Sweat was a track I hated at the time for the sheer overplay on nights out but I can really enjoy this now as it brings back fun memories :)

Sweat :heart: Not his best at all
