One Direction EP tops iTunes album chart ahead of release

Rhian Jones
Live While We're Young

One Direction’s EP for new single Live While We’re Young is number one in nine countries on the iTunes Top 10 Albums charts, and it’s yet to be released.

As of today, the boyband's fifth single is No.1 in Denmark, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden – we're assuming this is due to the amount of pre-orders the track is stacking up ahead of its release on September 30.

The new song is written by BMG songwriter Carl Falk together with Rami Yacoub and Kotecha Savan.

The EP contains two additional versions of Live While We're Young plus two live recordings of previously released material.
