I think we could all agree that the fanbases of music heartthrobs One Direction and Justin Bieber are the most terrifyingly passionate in the world. And because of this, either could easily ‘pull a Beyoncé‘, (read: drop a surprise album with absolutely no marketing whatsoever), and still smash records all over the world.
But this apparently matters not to Biebs, who seems genuinely disappointed that the 1D boys will be releasing their new album on the same day as him at the end of 2015.
After his recent tour around Australia, Bieber headed to New Zealand where he gave a radio interview on ‘Smash! The Edge’, and said this about the matchy-matchy release date:
“They’re not really going on the road much, but we’re talking about them right now, so it gives them some promo, right? So, that’s probably why they did it… I think it was strategy on their part because my release date was first.”
“But whatever. It’s whatever. It’s going to be fun.”
It kinda doesn’t sound like he thinks it ‘will be fun’ however, seeing as he later posted this video to his Snapchat:
