Q4 is of course when albums from a few of the industry’s greatest get released, such as Adele dropping her eagerly anticipated third studio album this morning.
The two chart rivals will learn who won the battle for America’s Billboard number one when the new data is released on Sunday (22Nov15).
Made In The A.M, which was unleashed last week, is the band’s first release as a foursome following the departure of Zayn Malik earlier this year.
The chart race for No. 1 in the US between Justin Bieber’s objective and One Direction’s Made in the A.M. still hasn’t had a declared victor, but in the United Kingdom, the win goes to the home country boys.
Andre Rieu’s new collaboration with the Johann Strauss Orchestra, Roman Holiday, is new at Number 8, while X Factor victor Ben Haenow scores a first Top 10 album with his self-titled debut (10).
He broke a new Official Chart record for singles with 5.35 million streams of “Sorry” his second UK Number 1 release after “What Do You Mean?” which was in the same top spot for five weeks in the past two months.
Sadly, after three long weeks at the top, Adele has had a slight fall from grace as “Hello” has slipped to number 2, whilst Justin Bieber’s “Sorry” is at the top of the chart, according to the Official Charts Company.
