Adele HAS to be releasing the week after. Columbia distributes for Adele and the 20th is the only way to cash in on Black Friday this year as Target has already said they won't support Black Friday releases or something like that.
Rumor is they're releasing the same week because Adele is after.
FOUR debuted and sold more than Believe without the help of a hit
DMD debuted with more than WDYM? Even though WDYM? had VMA promo, comeback hype, a lyric video, music video and exhausting promo countdown featuring over 30 stars.

She probably is. Otherwise they would have just released 1D's new album on the 20th.
It's tough cause it's basically Justin's comeback album, but it's also basically 1D's last album before their hiatus (could be their 'last' album for a long, long time for all we know.) Plus it's the first album without Zayn.
I think 1D might just do it. Their fanbase is huger, much bigger than Justin's imo.
That's true, however Believe was sold off a 521k first-week hit. Four was sold off a 186k first-week flop. Drag me Down sold almost twice as much as Steal my Girl and everytime 1D's lead sold over 300k their following album sold over 500k.
Is 1D's album available for preorder on iTunes? Cause if so I didn't know about it.
I need someone to answer this with a link to preorder because in the OP it says 1D and 5SOS' projections are very close right now based on preorders but I didn't know 1D was available for preorder like 5SOS' album is.
I wrote this a few weeks ago:
This decade, 2 300k+: Christmas 2011 Michael vs. Adele, and Kanye vs. Nicki 2010. For M vs. A, both albums were holdovers from several weeks previously. I wonder how Kanye/Nicki got scheduled for the same time tho.
Lol again 1D is really going Spice Girls with this, they released their only and last album as a 4 piece against Take That and they lost. Same will happen now, Bieber will get this.
