Kian Egan has revealed he’d be unhappy with 1D’s sales figures

Occasional song singer Kian Egan reckons that his former group Westlife would have been pretty disappointed back in their heyday with the kind of record sales being achieved by those One Direction scamps.

Even though 1D scored the best selling UK album of 2013, the units shifted overall wouldn’t have impressed Team Westlife circa 2001, Egan says. Though of course that ignores the fact that for One Direction, putting out records is just a promotional gimmick for their actual business of perfumer.

He told the Daily Star: “I was told the other day that One Direction’s album sold around 700,000 copies in the UK and it was the biggest-selling album of the year.

“Back in the day with Westlife, that would have been fairly poor, we were selling more like 1.7 or 1.8 million. Times have changed.”

He added: “There were loads of bands around then – Blue, Steps, A1, S Club – there was room for all of us.

“But now there’s only really room for one One Direction.”

The former I’m A Celebrity… winner’s debut solo album Home is set to chart in the Top Ten.

The album is currently at number nine in the midweek chart.
