One Direction Beat The Wanted In Billboard Battle
The rivalry between Brit boybands One Direction and The Wanted may soon be reignited.
Despite The Wanted star Max George recently [uuid=c73405d9-220a-4bd5-a946-a24a788686c3]suggesting 1D were "just faces"[/uuid] across the pond, The X Factor runners-up have proved a bigger chart success.
Not only did One Direction's debut album make history by [uuid=6104f940-3798-4978-a3ee-2961f3749e37]going straight to the No 1 spot[/uuid] in the Billboard 200 countdown, but seven weeks after its release, Up All Night has outsold The Wanted's self-titled debut.
According to the Metro, 1D's LP sold 49,000 copies this week and currently holds the No 4 spot, while The Wanted's album debuted at No 7, selling 33,000 copies in its first week.
The Wanted lads recently [uuid=3199cedd-808e-4758-bd0d-8f1fe3d1709f]dismissed claims of boyband rivalry[/uuid], insisting it was "all good" with One Direction.
The Glad You Came singers did, however, risk getting into trouble with Britney Spearsby [uuid=31b13597-bdf6-4c98-84f2-60da24a0880c]claiming they were not allowed to look at her[/uuid] at a gig last year.
Britney's people have since hit back at The Wanted, [uuid=dc3da139-6d3c-41e3-9535-ea76849fffc4]calling their claims "false allegations."[/uuid]
