Discussion: Why is One Direction flopping?

iHype.

Wow wow this shocked me.

One Direction's new Lead Single, 'Steal My Girl' fell from #1 to #6 on iTunes after 1 day.

If I remember correctly in Fall 2013, everyone claimed during Bieber's controversial era 'Journals' that his career was finished after his first release 'Heartbreaker' fell down the iTunes Chart after 1 day at #1 and mainly because, One Direction had ended it.

But let's take a look...

WW Points Day 2:
Heartbreaker - 23876 (-751)
Steal My Girl - 23107 (-1133)

- 'Heartbreaker' went #1 in 64 countries' iTunes.
- 'Steal My Girl' went #1 in 66 countries' iTunes.

The song is performing the same, if not, a little worse then 'Heartbreaker' performed. 'Heartbreaker' was deemed a flop that lasted 10 minutes, and people said his career was over.

One Direction is performing the same, if not, a little worse as the week goes on. I'm confused. What happen to their power? They've had more promo than JB so far (radio interviews, album announcement, and have been on tour). Justin completely sat on his ass and broke laws, not to mention 1D has even had pre-orders.

ATRL swore they ended his career.

Five Seconds of Summer.

Because only appealing to teenage girls is not enough for a long and sustainable career.

Rainsford

Idk but King Niall should jump ship before it's too late.

NaughtyDog

honestly because aside from Zayn all of them have gotten really ugly and even fat, they look like they dont bathe anymore

I don't know.

All I know is that I hate this song, I was rooting for them but this is awful.

TheSoneNavy

Their fans found SHINee

Ressti

They'll be forgotten in 2 years. I already told y'all. Their success means nothing. It's meaningless. They won't have longevity.

Ferrer

Cuz the teenager girls are growing up. They need to get solo careers before it's too late.

All those are getting dark red updates.

Steal My Girl should be #3 right now, not flopping.

Directioners are broke from the WWA tour

Popboi.

It's rising again, it's first day was inflated by pre-orders so it would obviously have a huge drop.

Is that the new excuse?

TheOnlyOne

Because it's a bad song and a huge step back from Story of My Life.

It deserves to do poorly, imo. It's a basic track that I'm already over.

fede_ludo

Cuz there's a new the x factor band with 8 guys instead of 4 and they are way cuter?

And women's think 8 dicks are better than 4

Kings.

Perched for the mess

Only on ATRL is this "flopping".

The song has been out less than 2 days, chill.

And Justin was #2 after his 2nd day with only 17% behind #1.

He was called flopping and finished.

If I recall, weren't you one of those people? Lemme search. Sorry if you weren't.
