“Niall Horan became the third former One Direction member to top charts with his solo debut ‘Flicker.’ According to Nielsen and BuzzAngle, the album moved over 148,000 album equivalent units to land at No. 1, matching his former bandmates Harry Styles and Zayn Malik.” One Direction just tied the Beatles for solo chart success. The Beatles would still hold the record, but Ringo’s most popular album peaked at number 2.
