An address can be in the way of making history on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart next week.
Industry sources suggest that the vocal quintet "Up All Night" may sell between 160,000 and 180,000 copies by the end of the week following March 18.
This amount could be enough to snag a No. 1 bow - and would mark the first UK group in history to debut at No. 1 with their first album.
"21" Adele set can also be sold around 150,000 to 160,000 - so that the album could block an address from No. 1, and facilitate the return to the top (for a week 24!).
While many groups in the UK have reached No. 1 (Coldplay, The Beatles, Spice Girls, Depeche Mode and so on), none has - so far - was opened atop the list with their first release.
The top of the Billboard 200 new 10 will be announced on the morning of Wednesday 21 March.
Formed in the 2010 edition of the UK of the "X Factor" television show, an address comprises Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson. The whole group is a native of Great Britain, except Horan, who is from Ireland. The act has caught three top three singles in the UK and reached number 2 with her debut album "Up All Night" in November 2011.
Back in the U.S. charts, "Up All Night", first single "What Makes You Beautiful" climbs from No. 50 to No. 44 this week on the Billboard Hot 100. It debuted at No. 28 three weeks ago. So far, the song has sold 338,000 downloads in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan.
