One Direction Debuts at Number 1 on iTunes with Surprise Single–First Without Zayn

Share

One Direction counters former member Zayn Malik’s announcement that he’s going solo: their new single dropped this morning. It’s called “Drag Me Down.” It’s already number 1 on iTunes.

No one can drag them down, not even Zayn! Those guys must be pissed at Zayn’s news. Anyway, it’s time for a new One Direction album, maybe their last. Their cycle is running to an end. We’ll see. This isn’t much of a song, more of a statement. But it’s their statement.
