Every One Direction album returns to UK Top 40 as fans grieve Liam Payne
Boyband also have three songs in Top 40 singles chart, including two in the Top 10, after singer’s death last week
The whole of One Direction’s five-album back catalogue has charted in this week’s Top 40, as fans revisit their songs in the wake of Liam Payne’s death. Formed in 2010 in the somewhat inauspicious environment of The X Factor, where they came third to Matt Cardle and Rebecca Ferguson, One Direction went on to become one of the UK’s most successful pop acts ever, selling an estimated 70m records worldwide in six years. Sabrina Carpenter enjoys a ninth consecutive week at No 1 in the singles chart, with Taste, while US singer-songwriter Gigi Perez rises to No 2 with her viral acoustic hit Sailor Song.
