Liam is literally the only One Direction member who is still so desperate for a reunion. He constantly talks about it and hints at it even when it's quite clear that every single member is occupied with their solo activities. That's the reason why a lot of the fandom still supported him dearly because they were fed empty promises all this time. Going on Logan Paul's podcast and shading the other members was literally the stupidest career move he could have made. Most of the people who buy/stream his music are one direction fans so if they decide to not support him anymore, who will continue to put money in his pocket?
His actually insecure and bitter even envious, jealous of Harry's career. The reason he talked negative things about Louis and Zayn was because they're doing better than him not to mention he attacked the vulnerable ones bc he knows with Harry's name he has no competition lol The reason he didn't mention Niall was bc there is probably no beef between them but like I said Niall's career is not like huge, so liam didn't see that as a threat to him. While with Louis he may be a "punch bag" so he can release his pain and project his insecurities on to him since Harry's career is successful than him, - same with Louis he was doing good when he collab with Bebe Rexah. sure, he's not huge like Harry but Louis was doing better than liam. Now with Zayn it may be he was coming at him since he's a poc and the shy one, so to Liam that was an easy target, pathetic imo. I'm not sure what him bringing up his parents and his personal issues and life has to do with this. either way we all know Liam is insecure af, Also Zayn with "pillowtalk" was the most successful single in both the United States charts and UK charts, Zayn is a one hit one wonder tbh but he did way better than Liam that's for sure. No argument on that. What does it says all about this, Liam is jealous and envious bc his solo career didn't achieve the attention he wanted, it's sad, embarrassing and pathetic tbh like bro at least be grateful to your fans (if he has any lol) and your short time of fame.
@@AntiStraightMaleSociety I agree with almost all you said but I don’t think zyan is a one hit wonder . I’ve been following his music since he went solo and Ik his other songs are not as big as pillowtalk but that doesn’t mean they weren’t well received. His collab with Taylor was big and dusk till dawn was literally everywhere. His promotions sucks tbh but his albums are top tier. Satisfaction, tightrope, fool for you, cruel , still got time are all good songs
y’all need to realise all of them are somewhat desperate apart from zayn and harry because the rest of them are not a list singers finally people are realising it slowly starting with liam because all 3 are all milking their 1d success
As a former One Direction fan (who am I kidding, I still am a fan lol), this makes me sad. I lowkey feel like Liam hasn't got over the 1D break up still. To him, it was the one place he could shine. I was always happy whenever I saw him acknowledge 1D because the other guys (besides Niall) seem to just completely erase that part of their life and ...good for them, I guess, seeing how much shit they went through because of their former label, management and some awful fans *cough* people who think the entire band is gay and will cyber bully their girlfriends over a non-existent relationship *cough*. But it became a bit obnoxious after a while. Like he knew he would get attention anytime he mentioned them. I also suppose he tends to compare himself to others and feels upset that his solo career isn't doing as well as Harry or Zayn..or even Niall. To me, his music lacks personality (like look at Zayn or Harry, they have their own distinct style and they keep evolving with everything they put out) and I think he's aware of it, too.
wow that is so true. each of them seems very well versed on what music genre they're heading to. I think I remember back in the days fans were grouping them in music genre if they're going solo. and omg fans were right. each of them has their distinct style and Liam just somehow pick whatever genre hit that time or just do an easy listening song. that's why he seems 'lack of personality' in music. although I kinda knew he lean towards pop/R&B but not strong enough as other members
@@harper4352 sorry but there's nothing obvious about it lol. i used to ship larry too, back in the 2010-2012 era when they appeared to be close because some things were really sus. but the harassment they received from fans (how embarrassing it was to see people comment larry stuff under their relatives' social media accounts 😐) clearly made them uncomfortable and ruined their friendship. it was really sad.
Louis hasnr cometed erased 1d ??? He literally has it in bio but unlile Liam whokeep talking abt 1d Louis truely is rooted and want to just reminise those days instead of reunion. Also having muvh hit successful tour than Niall right noe
All of you are so wrong. He just said he thought his debut single outsold everyone else in terms of streams. And he shared a story that Cowell told him. You’re all so spiteful and it’s disgusting
Honey I hope you know we’re in the same age group as One Direction. I am the same age as the oldest member (Louis) and he’s gonna be 31 this year. so being 33 isn’t saying much but I get your point
@@joshuaafrifa8134 it does tho, in the start literally 1Ds whole fandom was teenage girls from- wait a second if you’re the same age that means you were also sixteen when they were, which means their music was marketed to people your age an it doesn’t matter if your 31 one now cause you were the right age back then which also means you’re right and I’m wrong. Wow I was gonna make a whole paragraph proving you wrong and now I’ve done the complete opposite might as well embarrass myself and post this anyway
Liam's song was a one hit wonder type of thing. Maybe at first it blew up pretty quickly, but it was forgotten about in a month, and is now hated because it's a really bad song ,and I've never heard his name again after that until this situation....where he's getting a shit ton of hate. While the other members have had multiple pretty popular hits ,and album, and have started to build very long term, steady careers. Hopefully this situation humbles him a bit but , he seems like the type to think everyone else is the problem not him.
But its the haters that are the problem. For one thing, if you listen to the whole podcast what he said has been completely misrepresented. He never said he was the most successful out of the guys. Also he had six singles in the UK top 100 and ‘strip that down’ was in the charts for the longest time. Additionally Liam’s streams are actually insane for an artist with only one album and an EP out. So why do you feel the need to spread falsities and hate about him?? It’s ridiculous.
When you hear One Direction you think of Harry Styles or Zayn Malik. Back when I didn't even know what One Direction was, the curly looking fellow always caught my attention. When you don't know who the One Direction members are you usually answer with a description of their appearance. "I like the one with the curly hair and dimples" or "The one who sings the high notes." And that's very clearly a presentation of who are the most relevant and well known band members. But now when you think of One Direction it's still Harry and Zayn. And more often Niall and Louis but never Liam. Can't believe we called him Daddy Direction. Well, I guess some fathers always tend to disappoint.
Harry and Zayn were definitely the faces of the band. I don’t want to discredit any of the other members, but in terms of popularity and careers outside of 1D, those two definitely win. Harry, alone has such a strong nearly cult like following til this day.. So 🤷🏾♂️
@@qarcon3247 all the time when I was in school. Even still today. They’ve done a good job at staying in the light. Matter of fact, Harry is or was just #1 for his latest album. Liam has gotta be trying to promote something cause no way someone is this delusional.
True, I was so confused with Liam throughout that whole interview. Like did he REALLY think he was the face of the group. Fans were devastated when Zayn left. Personally, I think Zayn is the best vocally and Harry is a close second vocally. But popularity wise they ran supreme during the group. As far as overall success Harry is the winner, no brainer.
Yea Zayn’s solo career really took off. One of my favorite songs isn’t technically his own but a modern version of A Whole New World that Disney recruited him to sing for the Aladdin 2019 soundtrack. Then he requested he sing the duet with Zhavia and the rest is history. Billion dollar movie and successful soundtrack.
as a former Liam girl, I have been constantly disappointed on his pathetic attempts at his solo career since the bands break up. I had second hand embarrassment watching his Impaulsive interview lmao. Harry makes the best music rn and idk why he lied about Strip that down. it wasn't good.
If liam lied about strip that down's numbers, then so dod mtv. Liam announced his debut solo single hit 1B back in 2018. If he was wrong i think he would have been corrected back then
@Ayush Dewangan 💬 Being a popstar it's not just about music. Harry got it all. He has great personality and persona as a popstar.Seem like everyone love Harry because he just likeable and that's what both Liam and Zayn don't have
Well said. Not every artist is going to be remarkable. It's fine if he wants to make remixes & commercial club music. BUT you don't have to trash your bandmates. Seems desperate
Exactly, it’s not their fault that they’ve had more success than he has. It’s the label. Whether the band was built around liam or not, after X factor it was Harry who was made out to be the main one. Everyone knows simons label is toxic, he should’ve spoke out against the label not his band mates.
He didnt trash them he talked about the reality of the situation he himself is living and y'all are trashing him. He already issued an apology to Zayn. But he knows Zayn personally so he can say whatever he wants about that person. That's between him and Zayn. Y'all mean, y'all twist the facts, y'all irritating. I cannot even imagine being liam and having to rationalize my reality to a bunch of blood suckers like you for money. Y'all asking the questions and yall mad that this is his reality?
Honestly I think Liam is feeling lost and bitter; like Liam said, Simon made a promise to him that he’d be successful, and I do believe they probably built 1D around him at the start, because if you look at them back in 2010 to 2011, it was very clear Liam was being pushed to be the front man. Yet it was Harry who was very much the fan/ general public’s favourite, so I think the team/ management ran with that, which I think hurt Liam. And watching everyone else be very successful now has clearly made Liam very jealous.
@@rini9325 he was always the leader, Simon made him be the leader, and the sound of the group was built around his voice! Liam was a very dedicated member to 1D and often carried the group during live performances
I definitely see why.Because he was suppose to be a leading member type and was expected to stand out especially in songs but obviously fans were into Harry and Zayn's voices and personality more which did not help him and now that the other members are taking advantage with the popularity from 1D to their solo careers,Liam's solo success was that one song.He went from being in the biggest boyband of the early to mid 2010s to playing second fiddle as a feature with a tiktoker.
All of you are so wrong. He just said he thought his debut single outsold everyone else in terms of streams. And he shared a story that Cowell told him. You’re all so spiteful and it’s disgusting

I think that is exactly the problem, Liam is slow thinking he has always been. I can't imagine how hard it must be for him to finally realizing for sure he has no the same strength as the all the others.
@@goofparty420 True, louis is better than him as a musician though. I'll give louis that. Liam is just not entertaining or likeable in comparison to the rest of the members nowadays.
It just made him look foolish and delusional. It's one thing if you can actually back up your claims, but it's another to just spew crap that everyone knows is false.
I think it's insecurity. So many comments were quick to call him the least relevant and the least successful. No doubt these comments have plagued him his whole solo career. His intention was probably to say he's had success that is comparable to some of his former bandmates, but his delivery was all wrong
@@eventplanner461 Nah… I think his haters are coming across as foolish quite frankly, because you failed to actually listen to what he said, instead you’ve chosen to misrepresent him and it makes you guys seem like you lack comprehension.
exactly, he could’ve been supportive and also point out how he has some successes too. ha also didn’t need to admit that he was cheating on his fiancé and sound like he was proud of it. he really needs a reality check and realize that he’s not the most famous member of one direction, tho he is still quite successful.

People tend to forget that Louis Tomlinson was the "Silent Force" of 1D. With his writing and musical skills he "upgraded" the band. He may not be as big of a commercial success like Harry but he is currently on his Sold Out World Tour, SMASHING it. Also, like Harry mentioned, not being visible aka commercial does not mean you're not successful. I think Louis is living proof of that.
Yeah I consider Louis extremely successful. His songwriting carried 1d,and his solo career while just starting is already doing very well. He is successful in his own right in a different way than say Harry is. Louis also released his debut a fair bit later than the rest of the boys so his trajectory is around the same as it was for the others. Whereas Liam has stooped to making songs with tik tokers to stay relevant. The fact that he even went on the Logan Paul podcast says something. All the other boys are touring or working and being successful and he’s there. Also being part of Louis’ fan base is one of the most supportive, non toxic, loyal and loving fan groups I’ve ever been apart of and I think that’s reflective of Louis himself as well.
1d lyrics before louis consist of la la la or na nan na before loui and i know harry write his songs but he start writing songs like after or at the half of the band
i was searching for this comment, All of 1Ds biggest hits were written by Louis, AND Louis stays so humble and drama free, i absolutely love louis and his music.
Louis is so underrated. He is so talented. His whole album is just amazing. Every song is great, both the lyrics and the music (purely written from the heart). With deep meaning and not just mediocrely written. I can't explain it. And he has a very solid fan base. Just watch his concerts (or videos from it). He has touched so many lives.. I've seen so many fans say how he saved them through his music. He is SO loved by his fans. 😍 I wish people would give him more credit on One Direction's success.
He isn’t though. What he said about STD being the biggest debut singles from the guys in 2017/ 1018 is actually the truth. The haters didn’t listen to the podcast.
I remember when they were at their most popular they did an interview on Irish television. I got a really bad vibe from him and left a comment saying he's a problem and will probably be the reason they break up. I must have received 100 relies from 1D fans telling me I was crazy. Looks like I was on to something.
Liam was carried by his relationships over his music as the years pass. Zayn, while he had a strong start also suffered with his latest album not faring well and the unfortunate drama with the Hadids. Louis seems to enjoy privacy more so kudos to him, and I'm sure when he wants to release more music he'll do alright. Niall is actually doing pretty well with his releases. Not commercially big as Harry or Zayn, but he's consistent and found his own sound. But Liam is down bad 🥲🥲
I feel that Niall is kind of doing fame the best where it’s most manageable. The thing with Harry’s massive success is that he’s constantly hounded by paparazzi and can’t really go anywhere without being followed. I feel like Niall kind of gets one or two pops whenever he goes but for the most part he gets to enjoy his privacy while still having a substantial fan base. We have to remember that artists are people too, everyone is entitled to privacy.
@Jonathan THomas In Harry's case it is most definitely that and his constant promotions for his shows, upcoming films, etc. He's worked hard for his popularity. Niall is definitely writing and singing what he wants, and it's good that he's happy with it because his music is really good imo. And yes I couldn't agree more on celebs having their privacy. We may put them on a pedestal, but they are people just like us and deserve to live their lives accordingly without the constant worries of what strangers think of them
a big part as to why zayns recent album didnt do well bc of the lack of promotion/marketing. liams music imo just isnt good so it didnt get as hype as the other members
@@snoozi888 I agree with you . Zyan’s promotions sucks . For him promoting is just post pic of the tracklist and going to a random radio show. His albums are good tho. Yk he really puts a lot of effort into his music .
as someone who grew up with one direction in the early 2010s, i can tell you that liam was the most boring lol. i'm so glad i don't have to pretend to like his solo work anymore because it never did anything for me. him disrespecting the other members like that is honestly disgusting and pathetic. everyone, not even fans of one direction, know that harry is the most popular/ successful. his new album was a hit, and so was the start of his career. liam literally had one hit song and that was it, and i for the longest time thought it was an ed sheeran song. talk about embarrassing
Yessss, agreed. I’ve always referred to Liam as Mr. boring lol. He just unfortunately didn’t stand out from the group even in one direction. It’s sad he’s grasping at straws like this 👀
@@Eaturcayl exactly lol, louis and niall were always my favorites even though i do enjoy harry and zayn’s music. liam is just unremarkable and i don’t really like his music. his last live concert from home was also boring as fuck
I remember how directioners were everywhere saying "Don't leave Liam out!! He's an important member too!!!" Like even the actual fandom had to remind others that Liam existed lol
For context, I was never a One Direction fan. A few years ago, I saw a picture of one of those old tween magazines, and it had One Direction on it. I had to Google who the person standing next to Harry, Louis, Niall, and Zayn was.
To be honest, as a non Directioner but a friend of mine is. I initially thought One Direction was a four member group because friend loves Zayn and Louis. And I had a soft spot for Niall. I knew Harry was in it because he was the top favourite. I only figured out Liam was there because I saw a poster and asked the friend, who's he. Lol. And she was like Oh that's Liam. And I legit asked "I didn't know there were five members" 🤣
All of you are so wrong. He just said he thought his debut single outsold everyone else in terms of streams. And he shared a story that Cowell told him. You’re all so spiteful and it’s disgusting
@@CraigBukenyayou're literally spamming 🤣 and just because he "thought" his debut outsold Harry and Zayn's doesn't make it true, lol. It is exactly what the person in the video said. Liam seems so far removed from reality if he thinks he outsold the rest of them.
Liam doesn’t want to do music anymore and I don’t blame him with this fandom. He’s up against fans of his band mates who don’t want him to succeed. But thankfully success is limited.
@@lizzy8353 He didn’t trash them, fans are afraid that it was one of the guys that threw him against a wall, but he said a member of the team. He’s never trashed the guys. The only thing he said was that his single outsold everyone’s when it came out in 2017, which at the time it did. He obviously knows how successful everyone is now. He even said they’ve all done so well. You lot hear what you want to then you run with it.
I’m not a one direction fan but Liam was the only one who I didn’t know the name off before his Logan Paul (embarrassing) interview. Thought Louis was the one who made strip that down or whatever it was called.
This is funny. I always did like Liam, and he had a good voice, but clearly Harry or Zayn are the first ones most folks think of when it comes to One Direction starpower...and that matters! ❤️

@@CraigBukenya what does that have to do with my comment about what members were most known among non fans? lol. idc about any of their streams. edit: i just realized you're just some butthurt fan going under every comment responding with the same copy and pasted reply.
@@jenr5771 Your comment is an attempt to reinforce the point that Liam shouldn’t think he’s all that. But he never said he did you fool. Maybe delete the stupidity you’ve posted and rewatch the video
@@CraigBukenya that’s still kinda weird to say, no other 1D member would care enough to make it known their single was the most streamed (which I frankly don’t believe his was). And brining up Z’s family issues was messed up, who does that? It wasn’t his place.
In terms of popularity while 1D was active, Zayn & Harry were the most popular because Zayn would hit the high notes & he had a reserved 'bad-boy' mystique to him which was attractive, and then Harry was just naturally likable and charismatic and had a dynamic voice. I'd say Niall followed, then Louis & Liam. I still hope the boys get back together and release a 6th album tho
right I always thought liam is the least fave members among fans/public after louis. I think he gain some spotlight during zayn departure that he covered zayn's part. but that's it really... you know how being in a boy band it is more on the having personality. and liam was said to be the mature one and fans thought he acted boring. although I have to credit to his voice, it is beautiful tho. but somehow fans didn't appreciate his vocals enough. niall & louis on the other hand, they have the least lines in the group but their personality & charm attract the fans heart. so yeah having good voice doesn't give you the pass to be famous either
@@shashavengesayi6055 sorry i should've mentioned the reply above me. Liam had a nice voice but wasn't appreciated bc his boring personality overshadowed that. It doesn't help that even in his solo work his voice couldn't save it from declining...
nah tbh as a directioner, i cant even imagine all 5 in a room together anymore, after all this its going to be a bit awkward, plus i don’t know but i think they have grown apart, which is natural in life, i’m just happy they can make the music they want to make, and not be overworked and exploited by their toxic management.
All of you are so wrong. He just said he thought his debut single outsold everyone else in terms of streams. And he shared a story that Cowell told him. You’re all so spiteful and it’s disgusting
I was one of those kids who thought “things girls like ≠ bad” and I never listened to 1D but even I knew that Harry and Zayn were the biggest in that group…
I’ll be honest I was already in my early 20s when 1D hit the scene. I thought they were cute and happy to see the Boy Bands come back especially since my little cousins LOVED them. But honestly, when I think of 1D I think of Harry, Zayn and those Other Three 🤷🏽♀️ I didn’t pay attention to them until Harry and Zayn went solo. And because I’m an R&B lover I followed Zayn although I do love me some Harry Styles too ngl lmao
•Harry Styles has the most iconic career. •Louis Tomlinson has the most iconic lyrics. •Niall Horan has the most iconic Acoustic live performances. As Liam he is still stuck in his 1D glory days.

Can you imagine any of the other band members openly talking and being disrespectful about their experience like Liam is? Can't picture Harry or Zayn saying this.. and they are some of the most successful solo artists.

Liam needs some career lessons from harry lol.... Some stats of harry for the goofs out there: - three number 1 albums in the us and two in uk, the third being charting number 1 in almost every country - two number 1 singles in us and 7 in the top 10, as it was being the top single in uk since 9 weeks, only artist after Drake to chart all the songs of his album in the top 30 - multiple award nominations and wins including Grammy, aria, ama, billiboard etc - currently the 4th most streamed artist on spotify with 70+ million listners, as it was made the guiness record for most streams by an artist in a day... He has more than 10 billion streams - sells out stadiums and shows - and most importantly a humble guy who spreads kindness
@@emilianorosales235 thats not even true at all, they might not be relevant to you personally but they definitely are relevant in general. You def just haven’t been paying attention to them and what they’re doing.
As an outsider who was an adult when 1D were huge, Liam is delusional. It was always Harry who was the star. Liam is the 4th biggest and that's only because Louis is working behind the scenes.
louis basically wrote all of one directions hits and the last three albums he is the reason one direction was so popular from 2013-1015 he is an amazing lyricist, liam definitely played the least part in 1ds success
Strip that down is a wannabe Justin Timberlake ripoff and makes this guy basically a one hit wonder. Harry Styles will have an amazing career and already has. He is so likable and just an amazing person. He would have never ever made an interview like this let alone say those things and that says everything you need to know. Liam needs this shit because he knows how much better the other members, especially Harry, are. Harry has also multiple famous hits and is also on the billboard top 500 best albums of all time. He just made strip that down because Ed sheeran had the song for him. Nothing more
The irony of him speaking up about other members when he was cancelled for his controversial lyrics and cheating on his wife The other members even drank and ate disgusting things on James corden just to avoid awkward questions I wasn't a directioner, but this is a whole other level of disrespectful
its just a distraction just like jesys feud nicki only defend her so people would stop dragging her for marrying and defending a sex offender and trying to buy a victim silence
Liam didn’t rank any of the 1D guys albums on hot ones. You lot are so hateful. How about actually listening to what he said about his debut single, instead of making up your own false story.
@@LB-ih7hn I'm not a directioner never was but I heard he said his single had billion streams outsold I don't like harry but if you know younknow that's a lie Harry is to this day the most popular one he built his own sound Nobody listens to Liam
harry styles was always the face/frontman of the band from the very beginning, it's tru management/simon tried to push liam to be the center at first but failed miserably cuz harry somehow still attracted the general public and shone through (ig he just had tht "it" factor) so at some point they stopped tryna push liam and just let harry take the spotlight, articles and media literally used to call them "harry and his band" lol
He speaks out of pure embarrassed ego. He seems embarrassed that he’s floundering so he deflects by saying “I don’t know who I am,” but you can’t fein being egoless like that and then be an egoic asshole about it. Dude is the least successful former 1D member. He wouldn’t be comparing himself to the others if he didn’t feel insufficient in some way.
I've been a Niall girl since Day 1 and even I know Harry was the biggest member of One Direction. Harry got the most attention from fans (understandable because he was a very charismatic performer and in my opinion he was the best performer at concerts, he cracked me up, and was always into it. It was clear he loved performing,mi think that's why people loved him so much). Even now, Harry is still the biggest and most well known member . I'm pretty sure he won a Grammy. Niall is still my favorite because I like his solo music the best, but I also love Harry, Zayn, and Louis' music and how humble and kind eye are in interviews. I liked Strip that Down and always thought he was good looking, but he doesn't have the passion that Harry has and he has a bit of an ego problem. I hope he finds who he is.
I used to love Liam as a huge (and still) fan of 1D back in the day - I thought his solo work was actually decent up to a certain point but I kind of lost a bit of respect when he did the song with Dixie and also appeared on Logan Paul’s podcast - like mate, why are you associating with them? You could do so much better, you were part of the biggest boy band in recent history. Definitely took a huge hit in my opinion - he doesn’t deserve all the hate and vitriol in the comments section though, everyone needs to ease up on the guy. Sure, he said some stuff that might seem petty but at the same time I think he’s just been really struggling to find his footing ever since the band went on hiatus. And who could blame him? He has went on record before saying that being in 1D stressed him out and made him an alcoholic, now he has to carve out a solo path under the shadow of his other bandmates and of his former success as a group. That’s a massively scary task and I can only imagine the pressure. I’m not saying throw him a pity party, he did have success and chose this life as a pop star, but I do think we should stop placing celebrities on such impossibly high pedestals of complete purity and “niceness” that we ourselves can’t even live up to.
I really respect Niall for being so chill about solo music. Like he isn’t trying to be someone else. He seems like a good person and I hope he is doing well.
This is a prime example of when insecurities get the best of you. Liam tried to shoot his shot at a solo career and missed. So now he's in his feelings.🙄
I'm so glad I'm a Louie, like he may not be breaking records or winning the big awards but damn, he's enjoying doing music and it shows in his songs and commitment to his fans.
I know. It feels like a home with louis and louies. And we all know that. Supposed to see him in Philippines in july but unfortunately im from the south.
Never been a huge fan, just casual, but, I always remember its Harry, Zayn, Louis and Niall and then someone would remind me there is one more. He has always been…well…just there.
I actually looked back to their X factor auditions and he was always leading the band and always had the most lines to sing and then Harry (but Liam always sang more) all the others barley got any lines to sing Note: I’m not a one direction fan nor Liam harron fan lol but the tea gave me nostalgia to their 1D days
In the first album Up All Night liam started EVERY song, harry got the choruses while zayn did the bridges. Niall and Louis not only didn't have any solos, there are tracks you can't even hear them. The irony of it all....
Thank you. You’re one of the truthful persons in this comments section. By the way he never said he was more successful than his band mates. He said that Simon told him 1D was built around him, which if you look at their beginnings that’s true. Also he said his debut single was the most successful in 2017/2018, which is also true. People have just completely misrepresented what he said.
Yikes… Everyone knows Zayn and Harry were the heartthrobs of the band. Sure, everyone had their favorite but Liam was not THAT guy. He is alright but not particularly exceptional. He definitely has to work on his identity and not being afraid to be an individual. He is struggling and this interview confirms it.
I think out of all of 1D Liam is probably the most lost of all of them, he doesn’t appear to have much talent and seems a bit aimless. Also explains the strange accents he puts on during interviews too. Shame as he’s very good looking, maybe he should go into something else like modelling.
I actually think he was the most vocally talented (besides Zayn whose vocals are so unique) but I think he should’ve just stuck with pop music like 1D. He’s tried urban sounds that aren’t for him and he seems extremely awkward.
All of you are so wrong. He just said he thought his debut single outsold everyone else in terms of streams. And he shared a story that Cowell told him. You’re all so spiteful and it’s disgusting
The problem isn't even if he actually outsold them or not. The problem is that he was bragging about it. Like imagine if Harry gave an interview and said I'm definitely more successful than all of them. Like how bad would that sound
If delusion was a person. He is a boring artist compared to his counterparts. The idea that he was the biggest or the most successful is hilarious. The biggest member is Harry. He was always a stand out in the band and everyone knew he'd have a successful solo career. Zayn was also a fan favorite, and his debut was pretty solid. Louis and Niall whilst not as big as Harry and Zayn, still stood out as well. Liam had one okay song and it all went downhill from there lol
Liam is a little off base with some of things he said, but he didnt imply that he has the most successful career between him and his former badmates. He only said his debut solo single 'strip that down' was a bigger hit than their debut solo singles.
not to defend Liam but he was a central figure in the beginning of 1D. his mistake is not realising that his role was to give the band some publicity/a storyline for the show (since he had been on the show 2 years earlier he was familiar to fans of the show) and to provide stable vocals since no one else in the band could really do that in 2010 whilst other members of the group grew. as time went on that became increasingly less important as people got to know the other members of the band (especially when Harry dated Taylor Swift and to a lesser extent but Zayn dating Perrie Edwards) and the rest of the band improving their vocals since they now had the resources for training. also the comment about strip that down vs other debut singles kind of makes sense if you don't include Zayn, the billion streams comment would've been across all platforms not spotify specific and while sign of the times charted higher than strip that down, strip that down charted for longer (sott has obviously done really well since then especially since the Fine Line era had people checking out his first album). However, sign of the times was never going to be a pop radio hit so for him to try to compare is stupid. I have also never met anyone who actually liked Strip that down when it came out, a lot of people loved pillowtalk, sign of the times, and both this town and slow hands by niall
Because those who liked STD are not ‘directioners’. If it were up to ‘directioners’ Liam would have flopped right when his debut single was released, they’ve never really supported him. It’s non- directioners who made Liam’s singles successful. If Liam has any fault in this whole saga it’ll be that he can be quite oblivious.
Harry was the one who was asked for most autographs only after 2 days, long before he dated Taylor Swift, both Liam and Harry got EQUAL solos in x factor, Simon put Harry in the center for like Majority of the show because of hype. their main sond "Torn" is basically Harry feat. 1D. And there were other songs like "you are so beautiful, Your song, All you need is love ETC where H really was the "main person". All of which contributed to Liam not being recognized as "main member' even in X factor days. So stop spreading "he was the main person in beginning, like he was never the one who was considered center.
I was a fan at the same age the boys were and feel like I kind of grew up with them. Sign of the times was my boldest addition to my dancer setlist when I worked at a club. I remember hearing strip that down but never in anyone’s sets just played on the speakers and never elicited the same reaction. Harry is the golden child
Back when 1D first broke through Zayn and Harry were who I heard this girls in school yap about the most. They also have the 2 most successful solo careers predictably. The whole Liam interview felt like he was trying to impress the dude bros the whole time tbh.
This is almost unbelievable he really thinks he's bigger than Harry styles? Harry styles is a household name and I didn't even know this dude's name until I saw this video! LoL
Harry and Zayn are definitely the two biggest artists to come out of this band, and anyone denying that is blind. Niall has some good tunes as well and has potential, I honestly haven't heard a lot from Louis because his music just isn't my type. Now Liam on the other hand, everything I *have* heard from him (which isn't much tbh) sucked, I'm sorry to say it. Zayn's vocals are amazing, no doubt, but I simply prefer Harry's lyrics and sound.
when ppl talk abt one direction, they automatically think of zayn or harry . so i have no idea why liam would say all of this . especially when he’s the least successful member of the band
As a former Directioner, I have come to know Liam as the member who is mostly in charge of "emotion". He is really good at delivering emotion into the song he is singing so it was a shock to me that debuting as a soloist, he released a club type song. I just never saw that as his genre.
Liam is literally the only One Direction member who is still so desperate for a reunion. He constantly talks about it and hints at it even when it's quite clear that every single member is occupied with their solo activities. That's the reason why a lot of the fandom still supported him dearly because they were fed empty promises all this time. Going on Logan Paul's podcast and shading the other members was literally the stupidest career move he could have made. Most of the people who buy/stream his music are one direction fans so if they decide to not support him anymore, who will continue to put money in his pocket?
His actually insecure and bitter even envious, jealous of Harry's career. The reason he talked negative things about Louis and Zayn was because they're doing better than him not to mention he attacked the vulnerable ones bc he knows with Harry's name he has no competition lol
The reason he didn't mention Niall was bc there is probably no beef between them but like I said Niall's career is not like huge, so liam didn't see that as a threat to him. While with Louis he may be a "punch bag" so he can release his pain and project his insecurities on to him since Harry's career is successful than him, - same with Louis he was doing good when he collab with Bebe Rexah. sure, he's not huge like Harry but Louis was doing better than liam.
Now with Zayn it may be he was coming at him since he's a poc and the shy one, so to Liam that was an easy target, pathetic imo. I'm not sure what him bringing up his parents and his personal issues and life has to do with this.
either way we all know Liam is insecure af, Also Zayn with "pillowtalk" was the most successful single in both the United States charts and UK charts, Zayn is a one hit one wonder tbh but he did way better than Liam that's for sure. No argument on that.
What does it says all about this, Liam is jealous and envious bc his solo career didn't achieve the attention he wanted, it's sad, embarrassing and pathetic tbh like bro at least be grateful to your fans (if he has any lol) and your short time of fame.
He’s so annoying. A payne 👀 Harry has always been the biggest member along with Zayn Malik.
"Liam is literally the only One Direction member who is still so desperate for a reunion." because his solo career isnt working out at all
@@AntiStraightMaleSociety I agree with almost all you said but I don’t think zyan is a one hit wonder . I’ve been following his music since he went solo and Ik his other songs are not as big as pillowtalk but that doesn’t mean they weren’t well received. His collab with Taylor was big and dusk till dawn was literally everywhere. His promotions sucks tbh but his albums are top tier. Satisfaction, tightrope, fool for you, cruel , still got time are all good songs
y’all need to realise all of them are somewhat desperate apart from zayn and harry because the rest of them are not a list singers finally people are realising it slowly starting with liam because all 3 are all milking their 1d success
As a former One Direction fan (who am I kidding, I still am a fan lol), this makes me sad. I lowkey feel like Liam hasn't got over the 1D break up still. To him, it was the one place he could shine. I was always happy whenever I saw him acknowledge 1D because the other guys (besides Niall) seem to just completely erase that part of their life and ...good for them, I guess, seeing how much shit they went through because of their former label, management and some awful fans *cough* people who think the entire band is gay and will cyber bully their girlfriends over a non-existent relationship *cough*. But it became a bit obnoxious after a while. Like he knew he would get attention anytime he mentioned them.
I also suppose he tends to compare himself to others and feels upset that his solo career isn't doing as well as Harry or Zayn..or even Niall. To me, his music lacks personality (like look at Zayn or Harry, they have their own distinct style and they keep evolving with everything they put out) and I think he's aware of it, too.
wow that is so true. each of them seems very well versed on what music genre they're heading to. I think I remember back in the days fans were grouping them in music genre if they're going solo. and omg fans were right. each of them has their distinct style and Liam just somehow pick whatever genre hit that time or just do an easy listening song. that's why he seems 'lack of personality' in music. although I kinda knew he lean towards pop/R&B but not strong enough as other members
@@ryeofoatmeal exactly!
@@harper4352 sorry but there's nothing obvious about it lol. i used to ship larry too, back in the 2010-2012 era when they appeared to be close because some things were really sus. but the harassment they received from fans (how embarrassing it was to see people comment larry stuff under their relatives' social media accounts 😐) clearly made them uncomfortable and ruined their friendship. it was really sad.
Louis hasnr cometed erased 1d ??? He literally has it in bio but unlile Liam whokeep talking abt 1d Louis truely is rooted and want to just reminise those days instead of reunion. Also having muvh hit successful tour than Niall right noe

I'm a 33 year old mom who has never listened to One Direction and even I know this guy was definitely the least popular member of that band.
Honey I hope you know we’re in the same age group as One Direction. I am the same age as the oldest member (Louis) and he’s gonna be 31 this year. so being 33 isn’t saying much but I get your point
Lmao! this had me ded

@@joshuaafrifa8134 it does tho, in the start literally 1Ds whole fandom was teenage girls from- wait a second if you’re the same age that means you were also sixteen when they were, which means their music was marketed to people your age an it doesn’t matter if your 31 one now cause you were the right age back then which also means you’re right and I’m wrong. Wow
I was gonna make a whole paragraph proving you wrong and now I’ve done the complete opposite might as well embarrass myself and post this anyway
@@joshuaafrifa8134 most girlband/boyband fans are much younger than the group members.
Lmao he only had 1 hit song and it wasn’t even that big!
And also Harry was EASILY the BIGGEST member of 1D
Liam's song was a one hit wonder type of thing. Maybe at first it blew up pretty quickly, but it was forgotten about in a month, and is now hated because it's a really bad song ,and I've never heard his name again after that until this situation....where he's getting a shit ton of hate. While the other members have had multiple pretty popular hits ,and album, and have started to build very long term, steady careers. Hopefully this situation humbles him a bit but , he seems like the type to think everyone else is the problem not him.
But its the haters that are the problem.
For one thing, if you listen to the whole podcast what he said has been completely misrepresented. He never said he was the most successful out of the guys. Also he had six singles in the UK top 100 and ‘strip that down’ was in the charts for the longest time. Additionally Liam’s streams are actually insane for an artist with only one album and an EP out. So why do you feel the need to spread falsities and hate about him?? It’s ridiculous.
still not forgiven him for that biphobic song… was so disturbed by that :/
When you hear One Direction you think of Harry Styles or Zayn Malik.
Back when I didn't even know what One Direction was, the curly looking fellow always caught my attention.
When you don't know who the One Direction members are you usually answer with a description of their appearance. "I like the one with the curly hair and dimples" or "The one who sings the high notes."
And that's very clearly a presentation of who are the most relevant and well known band members.
But now when you think of One Direction it's still Harry and Zayn. And more often Niall and Louis but never Liam.
Can't believe we called him Daddy Direction. Well, I guess some fathers always tend to disappoint.
Harry and Zayn were definitely the faces of the band. I don’t want to discredit any of the other members, but in terms of popularity and careers outside of 1D, those two definitely win. Harry, alone has such a strong nearly cult like following til this day.. So 🤷🏾♂️
I was just thinking this. I especially remember zayn and harry being talked about
@@qarcon3247 all the time when I was in school. Even still today. They’ve done a good job at staying in the light. Matter of fact, Harry is or was just #1 for his latest album. Liam has gotta be trying to promote something cause no way someone is this delusional.
True, I was so confused with Liam throughout that whole interview. Like did he REALLY think he was the face of the group. Fans were devastated when Zayn left. Personally, I think Zayn is the best vocally and Harry is a close second vocally. But popularity wise they ran supreme during the group. As far as overall success Harry is the winner, no brainer.
@@eventplanner461 100% agree with you. I too like Zayn’s vocals best, but I like the writing on Harry’s projects more, personally.
Yea Zayn’s solo career really took off. One of my favorite songs isn’t technically his own but a modern version of A Whole New World that Disney recruited him to sing for the Aladdin 2019 soundtrack. Then he requested he sing the duet with Zhavia and the rest is history. Billion dollar movie and successful soundtrack.
as a former Liam girl, I have been constantly disappointed on his pathetic attempts at his solo career since the bands break up. I had second hand embarrassment watching his Impaulsive interview lmao. Harry makes the best music rn and idk why he lied about Strip that down. it wasn't good.
If liam lied about strip that down's numbers, then so dod mtv. Liam announced his debut solo single hit 1B back in 2018. If he was wrong i think he would have been corrected back then
🤣
That is really sad
I was a liam biased back to 1D and now i feel so ashamed of what he became. It's so sad
@Ayush Dewangan 💬 Being a popstar it's not just about music. Harry got it all. He has great personality and persona as a popstar.Seem like everyone love Harry because he just likeable and that's what both Liam and Zayn don't have
Well said. Not every artist is going to be remarkable. It's fine if he wants to make remixes & commercial club music. BUT you don't have to trash your bandmates. Seems desperate
Exactly
Exactly, it’s not their fault that they’ve had more success than he has. It’s the label. Whether the band was built around liam or not, after X factor it was Harry who was made out to be the main one. Everyone knows simons label is toxic, he should’ve spoke out against the label not his band mates.
He didnt trash them he talked about the reality of the situation he himself is living and y'all are trashing him. He already issued an apology to Zayn. But he knows Zayn personally so he can say whatever he wants about that person. That's between him and Zayn. Y'all mean, y'all twist the facts, y'all irritating. I cannot even imagine being liam and having to rationalize my reality to a bunch of blood suckers like you for money. Y'all asking the questions and yall mad that this is his reality?
@@myshownvjhope just because you know someone personally doesn’t mean you make comments about them or their upbringing on a podcast.
@@user-zw2hn9eu1l shut up
Honestly I think Liam is feeling lost and bitter; like Liam said, Simon made a promise to him that he’d be successful, and I do believe they probably built 1D around him at the start, because if you look at them back in 2010 to 2011, it was very clear Liam was being pushed to be the front man. Yet it was Harry who was very much the fan/ general public’s favourite, so I think the team/ management ran with that, which I think hurt Liam. And watching everyone else be very successful now has clearly made Liam very jealous.
I agree, Liam definitely had a leader vibe in the initial days.
@@rini9325 he was always the leader, Simon made him be the leader, and the sound of the group was built around his voice! Liam was a very dedicated member to 1D and often carried the group during live performances
@@tajsimms8976 too bad he isn’t leading the charts with music
Yess! My exact thoughts
I definitely see why.Because he was suppose to be a leading member type and was expected to stand out especially in songs but obviously fans were into Harry and Zayn's voices and personality more which did not help him and now that the other members are taking advantage with the popularity from 1D to their solo careers,Liam's solo success was that one song.He went from being in the biggest boyband of the early to mid 2010s to playing second fiddle as a feature with a tiktoker.
Liam and Jesy Nelson should collaborate together, but I don’t think their inflated egos could handle it. 😂

Yours too 'FreakyMarko'
It just made him look foolish and delusional. It's one thing if you can actually back up your claims, but it's another to just spew crap that everyone knows is false.
I think it's insecurity. So many comments were quick to call him the least relevant and the least successful. No doubt these comments have plagued him his whole solo career. His intention was probably to say he's had success that is comparable to some of his former bandmates, but his delivery was all wrong
@@eventplanner461 Nah… I think his haters are coming across as foolish quite frankly, because you failed to actually listen to what he said, instead you’ve chosen to misrepresent him and it makes you guys seem like you lack comprehension.
exactly, he could’ve been supportive and also point out how he has some successes too. ha also didn’t need to admit that he was cheating on his fiancé and sound like he was proud of it. he really needs a reality check and realize that he’s not the most famous member of one direction, tho he is still quite successful.
Big rule: even if you’re successful, don’t talk about yourself like you’re better than everyone else. It makes you look like a prick.

You clearly believe the proposition of this video. I.e. Liam saying he’s the biggest members of One Direction, and that’s just untrue.
@@CraigBukenya Man, my comment was not about that in any way. but k
People tend to forget that Louis Tomlinson was the "Silent Force" of 1D. With his writing and musical skills he "upgraded" the band. He may not be as big of a commercial success like Harry but he is currently on his Sold Out World Tour, SMASHING it. Also, like Harry mentioned, not being visible aka commercial does not mean you're not successful. I think Louis is living proof of that.
Yeah I consider Louis extremely successful. His songwriting carried 1d,and his solo career while just starting is already doing very well. He is successful in his own right in a different way than say Harry is. Louis also released his debut a fair bit later than the rest of the boys so his trajectory is around the same as it was for the others. Whereas Liam has stooped to making songs with tik tokers to stay relevant. The fact that he even went on the Logan Paul podcast says something. All the other boys are touring or working and being successful and he’s there. Also being part of Louis’ fan base is one of the most supportive, non toxic, loyal and loving fan groups I’ve ever been apart of and I think that’s reflective of Louis himself as well.
1d lyrics before louis consist of la la la or na nan na before loui and i know harry write his songs but he start writing songs like after or at the half of the band
Louis reminds me so much of George Harrinson, they were both the 'soul' of the band, the best songwriters but they were totally underrated.
i was searching for this comment, All of 1Ds biggest hits were written by Louis, AND Louis stays so humble and drama free, i absolutely love louis and his music.
Louis is so underrated. He is so talented. His whole album is just amazing. Every song is great, both the lyrics and the music (purely written from the heart). With deep meaning and not just mediocrely written. I can't explain it. And he has a very solid fan base. Just watch his concerts (or videos from it). He has touched so many lives.. I've seen so many fans say how he saved them through his music. He is SO loved by his fans. 😍 I wish people would give him more credit on One Direction's success.
He can’t be talking like this when his music isn’t good
He's a wannabe Justin Timberlake. Nothing about him is original.

Liam was carried by his relationships over his music as the years pass. Zayn, while he had a strong start also suffered with his latest album not faring well and the unfortunate drama with the Hadids. Louis seems to enjoy privacy more so kudos to him, and I'm sure when he wants to release more music he'll do alright. Niall is actually doing pretty well with his releases. Not commercially big as Harry or Zayn, but he's consistent and found his own sound. But Liam is down bad 🥲🥲
hit the nail on its head.
I feel that Niall is kind of doing fame the best where it’s most manageable. The thing with Harry’s massive success is that he’s constantly hounded by paparazzi and can’t really go anywhere without being followed. I feel like Niall kind of gets one or two pops whenever he goes but for the most part he gets to enjoy his privacy while still having a substantial fan base. We have to remember that artists are people too, everyone is entitled to privacy.
@Jonathan THomas In Harry's case it is most definitely that and his constant promotions for his shows, upcoming films, etc. He's worked hard for his popularity. Niall is definitely writing and singing what he wants, and it's good that he's happy with it because his music is really good imo. And yes I couldn't agree more on celebs having their privacy. We may put them on a pedestal, but they are people just like us and deserve to live their lives accordingly without the constant worries of what strangers think of them
a big part as to why zayns recent album didnt do well bc of the lack of promotion/marketing. liams music imo just isnt good so it didnt get as hype as the other members
@@snoozi888 I agree with you . Zyan’s promotions sucks . For him promoting is just post pic of the tracklist and going to a random radio show. His albums are good tho. Yk he really puts a lot of effort into his music .

I actually can’t stand Liam’s song. I remember thinking it was weird and unoriginal years ago.
I remember how directioners were everywhere saying "Don't leave Liam out!! He's an important member too!!!"
Like even the actual fandom had to remind others that Liam existed lol
Ohhh I think I remember that
i remember that 💀💀
For context, I was never a One Direction fan. A few years ago, I saw a picture of one of those old tween magazines, and it had One Direction on it. I had to Google who the person standing next to Harry, Louis, Niall, and Zayn was.
@@dumbledoreaskedcalmly Stupid comment and you know it.
Nah that was more directed towards Niall
To be honest, as a non Directioner but a friend of mine is. I initially thought One Direction was a four member group because friend loves Zayn and Louis. And I had a soft spot for Niall. I knew Harry was in it because he was the top favourite.
I only figured out Liam was there because I saw a poster and asked the friend, who's he. Lol. And she was like Oh that's Liam. And I legit asked "I didn't know there were five members" 🤣
I love your friend for being a Zayn and Louis fan. And Niall is just the cutest 😁
This is so funny
😂😂😂😂
@@Hello-335 omggg
That's so sad
Eh? Five members? I thought there were only four?
I'm just glad that Louis Tomlinson is staying outside of drama, focusing on his music and minding his own business.
Louis Tomlinson doesn't need drama he wants to make music he likes and is passionate about
Honestly.
That is why he is my favorite
Same with Niall
he has been through a lot during the hiatus his moms death ,his obsessive ex baby momma,his sister death he deserves the best and a calm environment
I think Harry and Zayn would disagree
All of you are so wrong. He just said he thought his debut single outsold everyone else in terms of streams. And he shared a story that Cowell told him. You’re all so spiteful and it’s disgusting

@@CraigBukenyayou're literally spamming 🤣 and just because he "thought" his debut outsold Harry and Zayn's doesn't make it true, lol. It is exactly what the person in the video said. Liam seems so far removed from reality if he thinks he outsold the rest of them.
congrats Liam! you've completely destroyed all of the little momentum you had for your solo career👏👏👏👏
He had a little momentum? He only had Sunshine last year.
Liam doesn’t want to do music anymore and I don’t blame him with this fandom. He’s up against fans of his band mates who don’t want him to succeed. But thankfully success is limited.
@@LB-ih7hn The fans did want Liam to succeed until he went trashing the other members.
@@lizzy8353 He didn’t trash them, fans are afraid that it was one of the guys that threw him against a wall, but he said a member of the team. He’s never trashed the guys. The only thing he said was that his single outsold everyone’s when it came out in 2017, which at the time it did. He obviously knows how successful everyone is now. He even said they’ve all done so well. You lot hear what you want to then you run with it.
I’m not a one direction fan but Liam was the only one who I didn’t know the name off before his Logan Paul (embarrassing) interview. Thought Louis was the one who made strip that down or whatever it was called.

@@jenr5771
Your comment is an attempt to reinforce the point that Liam shouldn’t think he’s all that. But he never said he did you fool. Maybe delete the stupidity you’ve posted and rewatch the video
@@CraigBukenya that’s still kinda weird to say, no other 1D member would care enough to make it known their single was the most streamed (which I frankly don’t believe his was). And brining up Z’s family issues was messed up, who does that? It wasn’t his place.
In terms of popularity while 1D was active, Zayn & Harry were the most popular because Zayn would hit the high notes & he had a reserved 'bad-boy' mystique to him which was attractive, and then Harry was just naturally likable and charismatic and had a dynamic voice. I'd say Niall followed, then Louis & Liam. I still hope the boys get back together and release a 6th album tho
right I always thought liam is the least fave members among fans/public after louis. I think he gain some spotlight during zayn departure that he covered zayn's part. but that's it really... you know how being in a boy band it is more on the having personality. and liam was said to be the mature one and fans thought he acted boring. although I have to credit to his voice, it is beautiful tho. but somehow fans didn't appreciate his vocals enough. niall & louis on the other hand, they have the least lines in the group but their personality & charm attract the fans heart. so yeah having good voice doesn't give you the pass to be famous either
Liam has a nice voice. His parts in the songs were always good.
@@zoobaali1766 he’s definitely talented and is a good singer, but I was just talking about popularity not talent
@@shashavengesayi6055 sorry i should've mentioned the reply above me. Liam had a nice voice but wasn't appreciated bc his boring personality overshadowed that. It doesn't help that even in his solo work his voice couldn't save it from declining...
nah tbh as a directioner, i cant even imagine all 5 in a room together anymore, after all this its going to be a bit awkward, plus i don’t know but i think they have grown apart, which is natural in life, i’m just happy they can make the music they want to make, and not be overworked and exploited by their toxic management.
Even as a non-one direction fan, I know about Harry and Zayn more than Liam

don’t lose faith zayn just posted him singing you & i and Louis posted. I think Zouis is back.

me too i wasnt into 1d i was more of a lana del rey fan during those days and i knew harry and zayn were the stars
Depends. I liked 'girly' music but still didn't like 1D because they couldn't dance. I prefer boybands that can dance

But honestly, when I think of 1D I think of Harry, Zayn and those Other Three 🤷🏽♀️ I didn’t pay attention to them until Harry and Zayn went solo. And because I’m an R&B lover I followed Zayn although I do love me some Harry Styles too ngl lmao

- three number 1 albums in the us and two in uk, the third being charting number 1 in almost every country
- two number 1 singles in us and 7 in the top 10, as it was being the top single in uk since 9 weeks, only artist after Drake to chart all the songs of his album in the top 30
- multiple award nominations and wins including Grammy, aria, ama, billiboard etc
- currently the 4th most streamed artist on spotify with 70+ million listners, as it was made the guiness record for most streams by an artist in a day... He has more than 10 billion streams
- sells out stadiums and shows
- and most importantly a humble guy who spreads kindness
he's like a guy who peaked in high school and wouldnt stop talking abt his high school era

As an outsider who was an adult when 1D were huge, Liam is delusional. It was always Harry who was the star. Liam is the 4th biggest and that's only because Louis is working behind the scenes.
Louis Tomlinson is currently on a world tour for his album. So, Liam is the least successful one.
totally agreed with you and lol at your name. I literally just singing that FOB line 😂😂
Louis is doing a world tour. He is coming to Philippines in july 16 ❤
I stand corrected then. I think I remember hearing about some Harry Styleston fan fiction back in the day. So yeah Liam really is the weakest link.
louis basically wrote all of one directions hits and the last three albums he is the reason one direction was so popular from 2013-1015 he is an amazing lyricist, liam definitely played the least part in 1ds success
Strip that down is a wannabe Justin Timberlake ripoff and makes this guy basically a one hit wonder. Harry Styles will have an amazing career and already has. He is so likable and just an amazing person. He would have never ever made an interview like this let alone say those things and that says everything you need to know. Liam needs this shit because he knows how much better the other members, especially Harry, are. Harry has also multiple famous hits and is also on the billboard top 500 best albums of all time. He just made strip that down because Ed sheeran had the song for him. Nothing more
The irony of him speaking up about other members when he was cancelled for his controversial lyrics and cheating on his wife
The other members even drank and ate disgusting things on James corden just to avoid awkward questions
I wasn't a directioner, but this is a whole other level of disrespectful
its just a distraction just like jesys feud nicki only defend her so people would stop dragging her for marrying and defending a sex offender and trying to buy a victim silence
Liam didn’t rank any of the 1D guys albums on hot ones. You lot are so hateful. How about actually listening to what he said about his debut single, instead of making up your own false story.
@@LB-ih7hn I'm not a directioner never was but I heard he said his single had billion streams outsold

harry styles was always the face/frontman of the band from the very beginning, it's tru management/simon tried to push liam to be the center at first but failed miserably cuz harry somehow still attracted the general public and shone through (ig he just had tht "it" factor) so at some point they stopped tryna push liam and just let harry take the spotlight, articles and media literally used to call them "harry and his band" lol
harrya nd zayn were the faces of the band and louis wrote all the good music
I am honestly not mad at him, just genuinely disappointed. 😔
He was the Farrah in the group while Zayn and Harry are the Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland in the group
Lmaooo not Farrah 😭
Not Farrah 🤣🤣
He speaks out of pure embarrassed ego. He seems embarrassed that he’s floundering so he deflects by saying “I don’t know who I am,” but you can’t fein being egoless like that and then be an egoic asshole about it. Dude is the least successful former 1D member. He wouldn’t be comparing himself to the others if he didn’t feel insufficient in some way.
I've been a Niall girl since Day 1 and even I know Harry was the biggest member of One Direction. Harry got the most attention from fans (understandable because he was a very charismatic performer and in my opinion he was the best performer at concerts, he cracked me up, and was always into it. It was clear he loved performing,mi think that's why people loved him so much). Even now, Harry is still the biggest and most well known member . I'm pretty sure he won a Grammy. Niall is still my favorite because I like his solo music the best, but I also love Harry, Zayn, and Louis' music and how humble and kind eye are in interviews. I liked Strip that Down and always thought he was good looking, but he doesn't have the passion that Harry has and he has a bit of an ego problem. I hope he finds who he is.
I used to love Liam as a huge (and still) fan of 1D back in the day - I thought his solo work was actually decent up to a certain point but I kind of lost a bit of respect when he did the song with Dixie and also appeared on Logan Paul’s podcast - like mate, why are you associating with them? You could do so much better, you were part of the biggest boy band in recent history. Definitely took a huge hit in my opinion - he doesn’t deserve all the hate and vitriol in the comments section though, everyone needs to ease up on the guy. Sure, he said some stuff that might seem petty but at the same time I think he’s just been really struggling to find his footing ever since the band went on hiatus. And who could blame him? He has went on record before saying that being in 1D stressed him out and made him an alcoholic, now he has to carve out a solo path under the shadow of his other bandmates and of his former success as a group. That’s a massively scary task and I can only imagine the pressure. I’m not saying throw him a pity party, he did have success and chose this life as a pop star, but I do think we should stop placing celebrities on such impossibly high pedestals of complete purity and “niceness” that we ourselves can’t even live up to.
I really respect Niall for being so chill about solo music. Like he isn’t trying to be someone else. He seems like a good person and I hope he is doing well.
This is a prime example of when insecurities get the best of you. Liam tried to shoot his shot at a solo career and missed. So now he's in his feelings.🙄
if we’re to choose the biggest Liam im sorry it’s harry
I'm so glad I'm a Louie, like he may not be breaking records or winning the big awards but damn, he's enjoying doing music and it shows in his songs and commitment to his fans.
Thank god I’m a Harrie. He gave us so much cuality stuff. He is a king
I know. It feels like a home with louis and louies. And we all know that. Supposed to see him in Philippines in july but unfortunately im from the south.
Right like Louis is so 💕💕💕💕. Zayn is probably my other fav and I have a soft spot for Niall but my Louis is my mamz
Well Louis did break a guiness world record so uk....
Never been a huge fan, just casual, but, I always remember its Harry, Zayn, Louis and Niall and then someone would remind me there is one more. He has always been…well…just there.
I wasnt a fan of 1d when they came out so I view their solos more. Just saying Harry has the better music (THats My OpINioN!)
I actually looked back to their X factor auditions and he was always leading the band and always had the most lines to sing and then Harry (but Liam always sang more) all the others barley got any lines to sing
Note: I’m not a one direction fan nor Liam harron fan lol but the tea gave me nostalgia to their 1D days
In the first album Up All Night liam started EVERY song, harry got the choruses while zayn did the bridges. Niall and Louis not only didn't have any solos, there are tracks you can't even hear them. The irony of it all....

Thank you. You’re one of the truthful persons in this comments section. By the way he never said he was more successful than his band mates. He said that Simon told him 1D was built around him, which if you look at their beginnings that’s true. Also he said his debut single was the most successful in 2017/2018, which is also true.
People have just completely misrepresented what he said.
He's by FAR the least but has the biggest ego though 😍
Yikes… Everyone knows Zayn and Harry were the heartthrobs of the band. Sure, everyone had their favorite but Liam was not THAT guy. He is alright but not particularly exceptional. He definitely has to work on his identity and not being afraid to be an individual. He is struggling and this interview confirms it.
Liam needs to be humbled oml 💀
Even now, Harry Styles and Zayn are the only two members of One Direction that I can actually name lmao
Dude Harry styles is the no 1 artist According to charts , he has been for 152 weeks on the chart but liam dude it's 0 for you
I think out of all of 1D Liam is probably the most lost of all of them, he doesn’t appear to have much talent and seems a bit aimless. Also explains the strange accents he puts on during interviews too. Shame as he’s very good looking, maybe he should go into something else like modelling.
I actually think he was the most vocally talented (besides Zayn whose vocals are so unique) but I think he should’ve just stuck with pop music like 1D. He’s tried urban sounds that aren’t for him and he seems extremely awkward.
All of you are so wrong. He just said he thought his debut single outsold everyone else in terms of streams. And he shared a story that Cowell told him. You’re all so spiteful and it’s disgusting
I feel Harry is the only member that I think as a sepret entity compared to the other members. Like when I think harry I don't think 1D I think harry.
Yeah a lot of people including myself didn't even know harry was from one direction until I became a proper fan.
The problem isn't even if he actually outsold them or not. The problem is that he was bragging about it. Like imagine if Harry gave an interview and said I'm definitely more successful than all of them. Like how bad would that sound
He’s a classic narcissist
Liam is still dreaming. HARRY IS NOT. HARRY IS LIVING HIS REAL TIME. JUST LOOK AT HIS HITS AND CONCERTS...THAT'S REAL....
Zayn and harry right now: am I a joke to you.
His solo career was a flop…and everybody knows Harry & Zayn were the faces of the group
I've always been a Harry Styles fan since 1D days. I used to have a polaroid poster of Harry. Still I think Harry is hot
If delusion was a person. He is a boring artist compared to his counterparts. The idea that he was the biggest or the most successful is hilarious. The biggest member is Harry. He was always a stand out in the band and everyone knew he'd have a successful solo career. Zayn was also a fan favorite, and his debut was pretty solid. Louis and Niall whilst not as big as Harry and Zayn, still stood out as well. Liam had one okay song and it all went downhill from there lol
Liam is a little off base with some of things he said, but he didnt imply that he has the most successful career between him and his former badmates. He only said his debut solo single 'strip that down' was a bigger hit than their debut solo singles.
not to defend Liam but he was a central figure in the beginning of 1D. his mistake is not realising that his role was to give the band some publicity/a storyline for the show (since he had been on the show 2 years earlier he was familiar to fans of the show) and to provide stable vocals since no one else in the band could really do that in 2010 whilst other members of the group grew. as time went on that became increasingly less important as people got to know the other members of the band (especially when Harry dated Taylor Swift and to a lesser extent but Zayn dating Perrie Edwards) and the rest of the band improving their vocals since they now had the resources for training.
also the comment about strip that down vs other debut singles kind of makes sense if you don't include Zayn, the billion streams comment would've been across all platforms not spotify specific and while sign of the times charted higher than strip that down, strip that down charted for longer (sott has obviously done really well since then especially since the Fine Line era had people checking out his first album). However, sign of the times was never going to be a pop radio hit so for him to try to compare is stupid. I have also never met anyone who actually liked Strip that down when it came out, a lot of people loved pillowtalk, sign of the times, and both this town and slow hands by niall
sott did good actually not as big as watermelon sugar or adore you but it didnt flop
Because those who liked STD are not ‘directioners’. If it were up to ‘directioners’ Liam would have flopped right when his debut single was released, they’ve never really supported him. It’s non- directioners who made Liam’s singles successful.
If Liam has any fault in this whole saga it’ll be that he can be quite oblivious.
Harry was the one who was asked for most autographs only after 2 days, long before he dated Taylor Swift, both Liam and Harry got EQUAL solos in x factor, Simon put Harry in the center for like Majority of the show because of hype. their main sond "Torn" is basically Harry feat. 1D. And there were other songs like "you are so beautiful, Your song, All you need is love ETC where H really was the "main person". All of which contributed to Liam not being recognized as "main member' even in X factor days. So stop spreading "he was the main person in beginning, like he was never the one who was considered center.
Not trying to be shady, but who lied to him?
I was a fan at the same age the boys were and feel like I kind of grew up with them. Sign of the times was my boldest addition to my dancer setlist when I worked at a club. I remember hearing strip that down but never in anyone’s sets just played on the speakers and never elicited the same reaction. Harry is the golden child
Liams biggest achievement thus far was getting Cheryl Cole pregnant lol
Back when 1D first broke through Zayn and Harry were who I heard this girls in school yap about the most. They also have the 2 most successful solo careers predictably. The whole Liam interview felt like he was trying to impress the dude bros the whole time tbh.
This is almost unbelievable he really thinks he's bigger than Harry styles? Harry styles is a household name and I didn't even know this dude's name until I saw this video! LoL
Liam is desperate, delusional and bitter AF to make a statement like that.
Harry is and will ALWAYS be the biggest member.
Harry and Zayn are definitely the two biggest artists to come out of this band, and anyone denying that is blind. Niall has some good tunes as well and has potential, I honestly haven't heard a lot from Louis because his music just isn't my type. Now Liam on the other hand, everything I *have* heard from him (which isn't much tbh) sucked, I'm sorry to say it.
Zayn's vocals are amazing, no doubt, but I simply prefer Harry's lyrics and sound.
when ppl talk abt one direction, they automatically think of zayn or harry . so i have no idea why liam would say all of this . especially when he’s the least successful member of the band
C'mon, we all know that the most outstanding out of the 5 so far is Harry.... 💅🏼🐩👑
As a former Directioner, I have come to know Liam as the member who is mostly in charge of "emotion". He is really good at delivering emotion into the song he is singing so it was a shock to me that debuting as a soloist, he released a club type song. I just never saw that as his genre.
