February 5, 201213 yr I actually think it's just me that thinks Gotta Be You is infinitely better than WMYB or OT. Ah well... I completely agree with you.....
February 5, 201213 yr Gotta Be You is good, but I think the majority of the songs on the album are better than it. For a ballad single, More Than This would've been better.
February 9, 201213 yr Hell must be freezing over, One Thing is growing on me at an alarming pace... :/
February 14, 201213 yr I think one thing would have been a far better choice as second single, i quite like it its catchy, i didnt like gotta be you at all.
February 26, 201213 yr I guess One Thing was lucky to go Top 10 in the UK, what with it facing a 9-24 drop this week. :o Their chart runs so far: 01-03-05-04-10-12-18-23-27-25-20-24-35-24-21-14-17-28-37-44-47-41-47- What Makes You Beautiful [#1, 23 weeks+] 03-16-25-48-65-x-63-x Gotta Be You [#3, 6 weeks] 01-02-17-48-x Wishing On A Star [#1, 4 weeks] 28-36-38-26-09- One Thing [#9, 5 weeks+] 55- I Should Have Kissed You [#55, 1 week+] Three very poor runs, and one which is great (in terms of the singles).
February 26, 201213 yr One Thing's physical sales must have been over 8,000+ They ended the week at #16 on Downloads and number one on physicals and were comfortably ahead of #11 in the official charts!
February 26, 201213 yr Despite the drop they're facing I think this could have been one of the best weeks ever for One Direction - BRIT win, Billboard entry (which was some 'first for ## years') and then the arena tour. They announced 15 dates on Tuesday and yesterday that doubled to over 30 including 7 shows at The O2 - it isn't even until February/March/April 2013! Nice to see 'One Thing' high on Australian iTunes, could beat it's UK peak officially.
March 16, 201213 yr Yeah, they should certainly bypass 'Gotta Be You' and go for 'One Thing' in the US which is the highest track aside from WMYB on iTunes and even has some airplay already. ONE DIRECTION - One Thing: 0.034 The UK will just get the first single from album #2 though, just like JLS & The Wanted only seem to release three singles per album (sadly, as I think they could've squeezed out at least one more). Ryan Seacrest @RyanSeacrest I've been listening and yes, I'm interviewing @onedirection on monday! Then big announcement on wednesday. Start the rumor mill… They've also confirmed that the Nickelodeon show is not happening despite Nickelodeon publishing a press release a couple of days ago mentioning a One Direction show as part of upcoming programming.
