Pop: Zayn Sales Go in One Direction — Down– A Whopping 86% in Second Week

Share

Zayn, we hardly knew ye.

The former boy bander’s album sales went in One Direction for its second week on the charts– down. “Mind of Mine” dropped 86% in hard sales, from number 1 to number 8 in week 2.

On hitsdailydouble’s Streaming Plus Sales chart, the drop was “only” 72%. Zayn’s hard sales were a mere 16,493. Streaming boosted him to 43,140.

What does it mean? Around 100,000 fans dropped off from week one to week two. Problem is, Zayn — who looks constipated in most of his close-ups– hasn’t produced a hit single to go along with the album. The first single, “PillowTalk,” did so-so. Nothing followed.

What’s happened here should be of interest to the other members of One Direction who were hoping for solo careers.
