As One Direction fans continue to mourn the loss of member Liam Payne last week aged just 31, all five of the band’s studio albums are set to re-enter the UK Top 40 this week.
Leading the charge is their second album, 2012’s Take Me Home (12), followed by 2013’s Midnight Memories (13), 2015’s Made In The A.M. (15) and 2014’s FOUR (20), all of which are former UK Number 1 albums. The group’s 2011 debut record Up All Night also eyes uplift this week (33).
Over on the Official Singles Chart, three One Direction tracks could place on Friday; lead by emotional ballads Night Changes (13) and Story Of My Life (21), as well as the band’s iconic 2011 debut single What Makes You Beautiful (48).
Three of Payne’s solo tracks could also make appearances in the wider Top 100, lead by his final solo release Teardrops (66) (which should make its UK chart debut this Friday), and his two UK Top 10 solo singles, For You with Rita Ora (67) and Strip That Down with Quavo (73).
