Why do people think Harry's song will be a comfortable Number One? Am I missing something? Yeah OK he's a member of one of the most famous pop bands of the last 5 years but Zayn, Louis and Niall aren't guaranteed easy Number Ones? So it's all based on hype at the moment right, no one's actually heard the song yet, have they?

 

The song's not been heard of course but he's the most popular member of the band and already has some pretty amazing hype, heightened by the fact a TV advert aired for his solo music during The Voice at the weekend!

That level of popularity and hype don't always translate to huge success though. I might be wrong but I just don't get why people are acting like it's a foregone conclusion that he'll be Number One.

It isn't a foregone conclusion but I think it's shaping up very well at this stage. People who've heard the song have said it's a huge hit in waiting, and the only songs to have been teased by a TV advert pre-release (to my knowledge) are Hello and the two Ed songs!

And Harry is making his acting debut in the summer blockbuster movie Dunkirk, I thought I chuck that in there for members that didn't know :D :P

Harry will easily have a top 3 debut. His album won't be a guaranteed success but his lead single will drum up huge hype and curiosity. He's easily the most famous member of 1D.

Zayn's hype, coupled with a strong song, got him a #1 debut last year, so I don't see why the more popular Harry won't follow, especially as sales for #1 will probably be down to 70k by that point so 40k sales and 35k streams would be more than enough, though I see both metrics being higher than that, streaming comfortably so.

To be fair, Zayn did get a fairly easy #1 with his debut (struggled more since, as Harry probably will past his first single depending on whether it's chart friendly enough) and Louis came pretty close. And I don't think anyone ever cared much for Niall. Harry is the biggest member of the group, if Zayn could get the #1 it'd be surprising if Harry doesn't, at least for a week.

In fairness to Niall, he released his song literally out of the blue midday Thursday. With only some hours of sales he debuted at 100 and the next week he was 9. Had he announced it a couple days before hand and then released on a Friday, he probably easily could've been top 5. I do agree though, I think Harry will probably get the #1 on his debut week based on hype alone, if its a good song it'll stay if not he'll probably struggle the rest of the way just like Zayn has.
