yet their current single is doing better than the lead single off their last album

King Liam is gonna rack up those #1 singles in the UK.

I don't see Louis releasing any solo material, but if he does, I don't want him to be the Victoria Beckham of the group and struggle to score a #1 while all the others do it with ease.

Niall will be successful in ye olde potato town (Ireland) but that's about it.

COME THROUGH LITTLE MIX

This better be true.

I think that user meant they wouldn't stick together for long, not that their success was going to end

Why do ppl keep saying "the sun tho" like they haven't had the scoop on 1D since Zayn left the band

and watch them never speak to each other again lmao. the dynamic of the band has obviously been strained for a while

HARRY OMGGGGGGGG YAAAS BABY

gurl look at my stats, good thing about me is that i'm not obsessed with anybody

They are following EXACTLY the sames steps of the Spice Girls after Geri left.

Agreed.

I see Liam going down a Kings of Leon/The Fray route since that's what he's a huge fan of. With songwriting credits on amazing songs like No Control and Drag Me Down, Louis won't struggle with a #1 at all. I imagine Harold making 1 Ed Sheeran-esque album (but even more minimal, maybe a male, guitar oriented 21), getting huge success, and then disappearing and never releasing solo music again. I can just imagine it. Liam will be the Robbie Williams I think, I can see him doing very well as long as he doesn't become the cliché Michael Bublé type. He needs to keep it edgy.

Although Zayn is not really 1D, he will be huge I think, and have the biggest success. I don't nessacarily agree that he deserves it since he barely writes but he'll take over the US with an urban sounds for sure. He'll be unstoppable.

I mean, they've worked their asses off and toured nonstop for the past 5 years, literally haven't had a break. They're seriously some of the hardest working music acts out there right now. They deserve some time off.

Safest choice out of default. He does have potential to go further and grow with his audience but so do Liam and Zayn. Louis and Niall will be in the UK tabloids for a while for their little side projects (Reality TV an what not).


This! They had a good run, end on a high note. Their casual fans are outgrowing them since they don't cater to them anymore and other fans are moving on to the next hot thing for tweens.
