November 20, 201510 yr I'd never have thought Bieber would be within 3k sales of 1D even a week ago. The huge interest in him following 'What Do You Mean?' and the fact that's translated to album sales is really remarkable. Fascinating to see his rise and 1D's decline almost converge - I'm sure there's quite a few Directioners taking a sigh of relief across the country. :lol:

In late 2010, Tesfaye anonymously uploaded several songs to YouTube under the name "The Weeknd". He released three nine-track mixtapes throughout 2011: House of Balloons, Thursday, and Echoes of Silence, which were critically acclaimed. The following year, he released a compilation album, Trilogy, consisting of remastered versions of the mixtape material and three additional songs. It was released under Republic Records and his own label XO. In 2013, he released his debut studio album Kiss Land, which was supported by the singles "Kiss Land", and "Live For". The Weeknd has received praise from several music publications, including Pitchfork, MTV, BET, Rolling Stone, XXL and The Source. MTV's John Norris has dubbed him the "songbird of his generation" and the "best musical talent since Michael Jackson". - Wikipedia Chart history - Top 100 (Year peak title): 2012 37 Crew Love (Drake Feat.

What's the highest amount an album has managed in a week so far? I can see him breaking whatever the previous record was.

November 20, 201510 yr In2 not only isn't very good, but frankly makes me want to fall asleep. Still, it could have been a lot worse.
November 20, 201510 yr Perfect is by far vastly superior to Drag Me Down. If this is to be their final big hit, they've gone out on a high. Agreed there. Drag Me Down is really weak in comparison to this <3 Bieber will easily overtake 1D in the overall sales. 1D were only selling 800 copies more than Little Mix in their second week by Thursday. Edited November 20, 201510 yr by Joe.
November 20, 201510 yr The production on 'The Hills' is so much better than the song itself.It's a decent track. I'm half listening to the chart, was this announced as being number 8 or did I mishear that? Edit: Yup, I misheard! Edited November 20, 201510 yr by Robbie

The resulting 1 arrived in 2014 via Record Company Ten and Universal Music. It was issued through Epic Records, with whom she signed a three album deal, in the United States. - iTunes Chart history - Top 100 (Year peak title): MNEK 2014 04 Ready For You Love (Gorgon City Feat.

November 20, 201510 yr Much needed recovery here. I absolutely love Never Forget You, and hope it sets both of them for big things. Lush Life deserves to smash.
