At this point their album will scan Platinum overall probably, just like Believe despite one debuting with over 200k less. 
 
Not to mention all of the singles this era for 1D have sunk, while "Boyfriend" probably will end up outperforming every single they release this era.  
 
I guess they have WW album sales on him, I think - and this is suppose to be their peak...

 Replacing Bieber? They replaced him almost 2 years ago. Their debut album slaughtered Believe. And then they released another one that sold just as much. And now with this one they'll completely outsell him in total.
The most important thing is that they're completely global. Bieber is and always has been relatively local. There's no comparison. The fact that Bieber got hit singles on the radio and still failed to sell is just more depressing.
