A string of red updates, but still has a massive lead. What is the record for the biggest lead of a #1 song on iTunes over the #2 song?

I gotta to hand it to these guys, they sure do experiment with their sound more than any other boy band in history that I can think of. And before someone jumps down my throat: a boyband to me a is a group of boys who primarily sing and do not play instruments. I don't agree, it's true they are not self indulgent and keep the same sound that make them famous, but i remember clearly the big jump N'Sync last album was, in terms of sound it was very very different from everything they did before, and way more riskier than anything that OD did till now

A day later and I'm obsessed. Louis makes the song for me and now that Zayn is gone, he'll hopefully get more solos cause his voice while not powerful, has a very distinctive tone and makes for great choruses like No Control. On a side note, the drop in the chorus reminds me of a reggae-fied I Knew You Were Trouble.

This is amazing, one of their best. "Steal My Girl" remains my favourite lead by them, "What Makes You Beautiful" would be 2nd, and this 3rd but could climb with time.

I just realized, the ending of the song reminds me a lot of the ending of Justin Bieber's "As long As You Love me", right down to the identical big notes at the end.

I don't particularly care for this, but this might be a grower. I get more into their later singles in the era ("Story of My Life", "Kiss You", "Night Changes"), so maybe I'll really like the next one?

But he has another mouth to feed now. Which is such a shame. The first one to have a shot at having a gay kid and it's not even one of the attractive ones. 1. That girl ain't really pregnant. 2. Louis is drop-dead adorable.

Finally gave this a listen. It doesn't change my thought that their popularity is because of their celebrity status rather than their music.

Loving this. Getting the early Police and Maroon 5 vibe. Liam's vocals are the highlight though.
