Niall Horan talks about One Direction’s chart battle with Justin Bieber

Wouldn’t it be fun to imagine the One Direction boys – Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne – having fisticuffs with Justin Bieber? Well tough. It ain’t gonna happen, apparently.

1D and Biebs have both released albums today (13 November). 1D’s fifth album is called Made In The A.M. while the Biebster has released Purpose.

And, as disappointing as it may seem, Niall has admitted there will be no fighting amongst the young men.

"It's happened to us before," Niall told DigitalSpy. "We've released albums on the same day as Rihanna and stuff like that, but it just happens to be - on the internet - made into a big deal that it's Bieber.

"But it's fine - he's got good tunes, we've got good tunes, and we don't really see it as who's going to win.

"If anything it's good for pop culture that something like this is going to happen. There's no fighting involved at all."

However, Niall has admitted that he is feeling nervous about the release of the boys’ fifth album after weeks of promoting it.

"When you're making the album you don't really get that nervous - you don't think about it," he explained.

"It's only when it gets closer to the actual release date when you're doing promo, talking about it, releasing songs and stuff like that when it becomes quite nerve-racking.

"It'd be stupid to say that it's not, because when you're making it you love it because it's your stuff, but you obviously don't know what people are going to think of it."
