You do the math.

That Luke instrumental is 6 years old. His current work without Max:

Max produced the first one as well. That is why everyone is mocking Shakii for desperation. And the second is the most irrelevant band of the decade, who would like to waste a good song on them?

Mediatraffic's singles chart is WAY too US-centric. How did the likes of Suit & Tie and Super Bass made the global YEC top 40 when they were only big hits in the US, yet a mega smash (outside the US) like Euphoria didn't

[Duca]

even though he wrote and produced a song on No Strings Attached, Justin wasn't really involved in the making of *NSYNC records until Celebrity, which was basically a Justin album



the only word the other four members sing is "gone"

I only know "What Makes You Beautiful," and I can't think of how it sounds. I did grow up with BSB and *NSync, so I know their songs.

It's common sense. BSB had many big hits. One Direction have had one moderate hit.

Well I don't really care about the chart positions outside of the US. In the US, they both have just a small handful of top 10 hits. Obviously, a few of 1D's are purely a result of massive debuts, but that still doesn't really convince me that the BSB or NSYNC top 10s were a different class of hit. At least through experience, I'm pretty sure my parents and friends' parents only knew about them because they bought their kids the CDs.

I mainly just question whether or not 1D will be the equivalent of BSB and NSYNC to the youth of today in another decade.

"You don't know-ow-ow; you don't know your beautiful".

As someone growing up under 1D, I only know that song too. Truly forgettable fad.

Jonas Brothers had much more memorable songs, and Burnin' Up ***** on 1D's discography.

[Starburst]

Yeezus would've been the perfect had he gone full BEYONCE.

[bringhimdowndown]

I honestly like "The Story of My Life"

[Gui Blackout]

Jonas Brothers were local as ****.

How did I Want It That Way only peak at #6 in the US tho
Is my theory about it not having a CD Single release right? It has to be

Oh yeah, I know that song too since it got airplay.

JB's "Believe" era having more actual hits to the public then 1D's career has had.

[Nialler]

More recent example:
Legendary Lovers, Birthday, Roar, Dark Horse are the effects of their collaboration. Then Luke left Katy alone with Max for a few days and This Is How We Do was made Max lost his touch.

The Story Of My Life also wasn't that big now that I think about. Another frontloadéd mess that only turned into an actual hit with airplay in Anglophone countries

I told this one girl once that the Jonas brothers were bigger than One Direction, and she look at me like I was insane

I realized later that she's from Germany

[Gui Blackout]

And it's not like grown ass men were sitting around in the 90's jamming to boybands and discussing their whereabouts. They only seem that bigger because they were part of a music movement at the time, but they're all fanbase directed acts.

JustiNSYNC's hits were much MUCH bigger than 1D's. Bye Bye Bye spent 10 weeks at #1 on Pop radio and It's Gonna Be Me spent half as many weeks at #1 but topped the Hot 100. They were a huge radio staple, almost as big as Justin on his own + they managed to crossover to Urban with their final album.

Forgotten, washed up nostalgia acts w/ little to no recurrent airplay and weak catalog sales? Yeah, basically.
