Really don't understand why Justin promoting his album is him being "desperate" for the #1.

Not like it's his JOB, right?

They've done this before.
Hoping the purchasers pull what that kid did with 300 copies of Confident.

Just tell them not to be dumb asses that that idiot and buy them all on the same transaction. I'm still pissed that that one guy could have gotten Demi her number one if he knew about the receipt rule on Billboard.

Nobody cares how desperate anyone is for the #1. Nobody cares how they get it.

#1 is #1, in the eyes of the public and the industry; JB getting it over 1D would be seen as a validation of his comeback, of his personal "growth" (however you take that), and of his place in pop music right now.

!!!

I mean, the two groups of fans fighting about this is ridiculous. I'm not even vested into this chart thing as other fans are but promoting is literally the groundwork for any release week. Doesn't matter how much work is put into it; it doesn't negate the #1 that's earned.

And if you think 1D is moving a lot of CDs, just wait till their labelmate’s debut next week.

Not half of their American promo happening in the album's second week of release.

I still find it weird that their promo schedule this year is more than their last three eras combined.

All of those are promotional appearances. What?

[Miley Cyrus]

Not Bieber fans trying to downplay the amount of promo he has done already.
Fact of the matter is Justin is putting in more effort than 1D and they outsold him

[SweetTalker]

Hoping 1D gets it

"Ellen recording"
"MITAM release"

And I'm not counting interviews for any of them.
