He was around for Up All Night/Take Me Home, and Midnight Memories... what are you even talking about? Either way this logic is completely flawed. You guy's are acting like people were anticipating a comeback album after being scrutinized by the media/gp for about 2 or more years straight.

No one was waiting for his return but rather for him to stay away for good. He had to completely start new in trying to win over the GP.

Drag Me Down is one of the biggest songs on the radio right now and Story of My Life was a monster at radio (140m AI) plz stop with the lies

isn't 1D album selling more though

Thats because 1D literally arent really celebrities like JB, they come they put an album out then disappear on tour where as justins forever in the news

Well yeah everyone expected 1D to "end" Justin but he has so many more hits, still has a lot of cultural impact, and the only thing 1D really has over him is touring. And that's just because their fans are all little girls whose parents need to buy tickets too. So yeah I'd say he did.

This is straight up false Justin wrote all of the lyrics and the melody to WAUN

Justin probably writes more than 1D

Weak shade, 1D and Bieber all aim for the same audience (annoying middle-class horny white tween girls) so goodbye

And Bieber's fans are all grown up,mature people with exquisite taste in music.

Stop being dense. Someone already corrected you back on page 2.

No, Justin has incredibly widespread appeal right now. This is as well as his fanbase.

Anyone can have hits with radio deals and massive promo, but album and tour? Thats what 1D have.

No. lol.

Justin has sold 18 Million albums WW, and has had multiple successful world tours. His last grossing above $200 Million.

You One Direction need to stop acting like he is lacking in either areas. You guys are truly living a delusion where you think he hasn't reached career heights that they have.

Justin being innovative
OT: Yes obviously, boy bands have an expiration date and Justin is better than them musically.

Yes.

Hmm none of them is over or something so not. Plus 1D are bigger albums and tour tickets' sellers right now.

Obviously
