Inevitably, tweens are already jibing at each other on Twitter. _Made in the A.M._ will be One Direction’s first album since Zayn Malik left the group and its final album before the band goes on an indefinite hiatus. The first single from the album, “Drag Me Down,” peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Bieber’s lead single, “What Do You Mean?” shot up to No. 1 on the charts in its first week. The “As Long As You Love Me” singer hasn’t released a studio album since 2012, when _Believe_ opened with 374,000 sales in the first week. One Direction’s last album, _Four_, sold 387,000 copies in the first week when it was released last year. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4045137/one-direction-justin-bieber-new-albums/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4045137/one-direction-justin-bieber-new-albums/"},"headline":"One Direction and Justin Bieber Will Drop Albums on the Same Day","datePublished":"2015-09-22T20:26:53.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T11:09:57.764Z","description":"Get ready for a smackdown on Nov. 13","url":"https://time.com/4045137/one-direction-justin-bieber-new-albums/","keywords":["Music"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt87d67f444842a49c/698864cf0b72e3455f6e5f17/justin-bieber-one-direction-3.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliana Dockterman","jobTitle":"Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt87d67f444842a49c/698864cf0b72e3455f6e5f17/justin-bieber-one-direction-3.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"justin-bieber-one-direction-3","caption":"Justin Bieber (L) and Harry Styles of One Direction (R)","creditText":"Gregg DeGuire—Wireimage/Getty Images; David M.
