Bieber Is Winning The Album Sales Race And Here’s Why

It's a race to see who will sell more albums: Justin Bieber or One Direction. The two have been marketing in any way they can and the fans have been feuding via social media for months. So far, Beliebers are winning for one simple reason: They're getting a deal. 

Today, Justin Bieber released "Purpose" in a basic and deluxe version. One Direction released "Made in the A.M." also in a basic and deluxe version.

Let's compare the two:

Justin Bieber's "Purpose" deluxe album has 18 tracks and features other artists like Nas, Big Sean and Halsey. To download the entire deluxe album, it's $12.99 on iTunes. The basic album isn't a bad deal either with 13 tracks for $9.99.

One Direction seems to be taking a bigger risk with their "Made in the A.M" album offering Directioners an album with less tracks for more money. At the end of today, this could be a giant win for them or the reason Bieber will go to sleep knowing he has today's #1 selling album. The "Made in the A.M." deluxe version is on iTunes for $14.99 with 17 tracks (one less than Bieber) and their basic album with 13 tracks for $11.99. That's the same amount of music for two dollars more.

Who will sell more albums at the end of today? Your download is counted into the final number of album sales.
