MikeyMoonShine 0 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 It's been like that forever though. Like yeeears ago when N`*SYNC opened with 2.4m first week in the US. The tween market is always a prosperous one because they tend to be very dedicated to those artists, and 1D's sales are huge because it's holiday season so parents will be buying the album for their daughters. Whether they are actually 1D fans or not, parents just think 1D is the biggest thing amongst kids, which I guess they are. But in the same way that the pre-teen market consistently buys albums of boy band acts, they always fade away pretty quickly once the fanbase grows up. Few boy bands manage to maintain that success and they just fade away. I.e. Westlife, JLS, Boyzone. The Backstreet Boys' latest album has sold only 48,000 copies in the US. Their first sold over 10 million. Unless 1D can transition into a more mature act that becomes successful with older women like Take That, even though that took them a decade hiatus, this will likely be their high point and they will achieve much lesser success in the future. That's true it has been like that for a long time but the tween market is becoming the only huge market in the industry because they are just more likely to buy stuff. Maybe when the world eventually climbs out of this economic hole more people will start buying music but at the moment older people just aren't spending what the kids are (plus what is being spent on the kids). Oh and yes 1d's success will not last ofc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's bound to be a big drop for the album when she doesn't have a single big on radio/TV at the time. ;) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
