Waffle, how could you ask for more? SOML is their second best performing single. No one expected this song to do this good.
...because even now it is only a semi hit. Only 1x platinum (the same as Live While We're Young and several of their other flops) and not on the radio songs chart.
I want it to be a big enough hit that ANYONE calling them a one hit wonder gets laughed at.

Who calls them a one hit wonder? I've never heard anyone say that, I mean they've had 4 top ten hits now and 3 successful eras and have had no signs of slowing.

They got called OHW all the time.
Being in the top 10 on debut doesn't really make a song a hit.
Hello everybody !!!
SOML is growing on me, glad it's holding strong!.
They're selling lots of albums. You guys shouldn't be bothered by the one hit wonder claims as long as they do that plus YouTube views magnify the success of LWWY and BSE. And besides that the boys don't care about the charts if they did "Rock Me" would've been released (seriously, still pressed about that, it has 2xplatinum hit written all over it I even heard it on the radio a couple of times)

I am being honest when I say I have never ever heard that. Are you sure it's not mainly ATRL?
No, but selling a million copies certainly does
Edit: I typed "One Direction one hit wonder" into google and there is only one negative article about them on the front page, dated back to their first single.
The song was top twenty for what, 10-11 weeks? And top ten for half of that. It's been top twenty on radio for awhile now as well. It was a bigger radio hit than sales, but anyone claiming it wasn't a hit is crazy. It wasn't a huge smash like WMYB but at this rate it will at least be double platinum with a very nice chart run.
Yeah, I've never heard them called OHW. I think anyone who looked at the receipts might be tempted to, but the people outside of the fanbase don't care enough for that type of research. They see 1D everywhere and probably assume they've had more US chart success than they really have.
But SOML is helping with that anyway, and they deserve it since that song slays. Too bad they are cutting off their success with MM as the new single
