One Direction will surely hit #1 on 11/13 with what could be their last release as a group, Made in the A.M. In the worldwide stakes, it's going up against Justin Bieber's RBMG/Island LP Purpose, but in Blighty the competition is pretty much won. The album is out via Sonny Takhar's SYCO in the U.K. and Columbia on the left side of the sea. Forecasts currently expect it to sell about 350k first week.
I remember it being #1 on iTunes for a bit on the 2nd week of BEYONCÉ (and some twitter Beliebers were making fun of Bey for it) but then it dropped and somehow nothing about its charting position was mentioned by Billboard.
