In the U.K., two One Direction tracks have returned to the top 10: “Night Changes” at #6 and “Story of My Life” at #9. In addition, “What Makes You Beautiful” is #23. Plus, three of Liam’s solo songs — “Strip That Down,” “For You” and “Teardrops” — have all entered the chart farther down.
One Direction albums Midnight Memories, Made in the A.M., FOUR, Take Me Home and Up All Night all reentered the U.K. top 40 album chart, while Liam’s 2019 solo album, LP1, entered the chart at #62.
Meanwhile, North Carolina singer Sam Pounds announced that on Nov. 1 he’ll be officially releasing a song featuring Liam called “Do No Wrong.” He actually posted the song on YouTube Oct. 21. It came with a note that read, “Dear fans let this song ring louder then the bad reports going out on Liam’s name! Let’s let the music win! This is what Liam would want. Spread the love & spread the music!”
Liam died Oct. 16 in Argentina; he was later found to have a number of drugs in his system. Following Liam’s death, Sam posted video of Liam in the studio and wrote on Instagram, “I can’t believe I’m writing this post. I can’t believe you are gone in this way. This is how I’ll always remember brother………..The happy, funny, and talented brother, father, and friend.”
He added, “We made some awesome and beautiful music together that will live on forever. Love you @liampayne bro! RIP.”
