I wasn't debating that.
There is always a niche market for boy bands/girl bands/artists that cater to teens.
They are filling that the way other boybands did in the past and they usually gross well on tour
Outside of that market, they haven't 3 songs that the GP would say either they know and love or they loathe but at least know.
They're label knows this is the end. they might be able to come together years later like a backstreet boys but they still are at their end.
One direction has already gone from 2x platinum at their peak to platinum and I'm sure this new one will go platinum at some point.
Remember one year BSB could go 14x platinum at their peak to 8x platinum and then within 5 years barely went platinum.
It's the natural life of a teen artist.
they won't be able to become adult pop artists and I think it's good they can make so much touring because they need to get their money now while they can
