-Justin Bieber's Album "Purpose" and 1D's "Made in the A.M. (After Malik)" both release on Nov. 13th

-Justin already threw shade at 1D with his "when you release your album on the same day as Justin Bieber" scared face

-Louis responded with one of his weaker playing at O2 Arena faces (which Justin was once hours late for a concert at)

-Justin backtracked and said that he's excited about the release and wishes 1D luck since Niall is his good friend (save yourself Neil!)

-Justin is now saying that 1D released the same day as him for promo and as a strategy, since he announced his date first

-1D's last album #justiceforFOUR (2014) opened with 387,000, while JB's last album Believe (2012) opened with 374,000

-1D have always released in November and are part of Columbia Records, so the other slots Nov. 6 (#BuyGetWeird) and Nov. 20 are occupied by label mates Little Mix and Adele

Are 1D's team doing promo for once? This is a good way to get 2 crazy stan bases to buy more albums. Based on their previous album sales, I would say 1D have the #1 for the week before Adele shakes up the industry.
