It is so weird. They are selling tickets for a show NEXT YEAR here in SLC. Teen girls are seriously into this group.Wow. One Direction is on fire. At least they are talented though. Simon Cowell will be thrilled.

The thing about 1 Direction is that they're really putting out some catchy music so instead of just getting tweens buying their stuff and buying tickets, they're getting legitimate radio airplay.

Check out the iTunes Popularity Bars. It will put a smile on your face. Tomorrow will be interesting to see how 1D holds up as Taylor's 3rd song is released.
Regarding the HITS chart, it looks country heavy to me in this first report.
for a debut they really did kick JB butt from when he started lol he didnt get success until MY World 2.0! me too I thought the kiss thing would have atleast made carrie sell between 18-20k this week, IT WAS ALL OVER THE PLACE, my cousin even called me to see if i was jealous or something hahaha

I was thinking it was country heavy too. I'd be okay with Carrie popping back into the top 20, but I don't expect it.

I'm one who is thrilled 1 Direction is doing so great - mainly because they are talented, cute and love their songs!!! Great performers too!!!

I like One Direction too. Simon Cowell gets it right usually--- Carrie and One Direction.
I'm adding Il Divo to the list (Simon discovered them too).

Il Divo was popular for a brief amount of time, but they were never really that big and they've faded away fairly quickly - Even Leona Lewis would be a better substitution, who is not even around anymore.
People were also predicting big numbers like 600k or even more for Justin Bieber and Katy Perry. It turns out the former opened with less than 400k copies and the latter less than 200k copies. That's just merely a sales prediction, it'd be really difficult for an act whose first album barely crossed a million copies to open with 0.6 million copies. Not saying it's impossible, but it's highly likely to be an overestimation. In contrast, we have a long list of disappointments this year: Bieber, Usher, Chris Brown, Lana Del Rey, Carly Rae Jespen, etc. This is coming from an One Direction fan (I bought their debut album actually).
Their lead single is looking to be selling more than Taylor Swift's "Begin Again" for sure - it has put the #2 song down to around 0.3 now and could go further; while Swift 'only' managed to push the same #2-selling song to around 0.45 in her peak. But I think Britney Spears' "Hold It Against Me" sold 4 times more than the #2 song at one point (411k copies in the end) with Avril Lavigne and Kanye West / Jay-Z as her main competitors; while Lady GaGa's "Born This Way" got up to 6 to 8 times (448k in the end, in only 3 days), which also holds the record for fastest climb to #1 on iTunes, with slightly more than 3 hours. The next Swift's song is not even a proper single so it should sell way weaker than BA - It'd be only the second time in recent memory for a Swift's single to not hit #1 on iTunes, the other one being "Eyes Open". I'm not counting "Ours" which peaked at #2 because the #1 song that blocked her was herself.

Il Divo is not for everyone, they are a pop opera group; they also went on tour with Barbra Streisand.I've never heard of Il Divo.

Never heard of II Divo, but yesterday was the 50th anniversary of Barbra Streisand signing her first record deal - Made me feel soooo old. .
