‘It is a shame it was released during this s***’: Niall Horan reveals his frustration after his latest album failed to top the charts in the U.S.
Niall Horan has revealed his disappointment that his latest album failed to top the charts in the U.S.
The singer’s debut album Flicker, which was released in 2017, debuted at number one in the Billboard charts, despite peaking at number 3 in the UK.
But his latest record Heartbreak Weather, released in March, has reached number 4 in the States, yet claimed the top spot in the UK.

It means Harry Styles is the only member of One Direction to have landed two number one solo albums in the US.
The Irish singer/songwriter, 26, told the Daily Star: ‘I would have liked it to be number one in America but it was number 1 here.
‘It is a shame it was released during this s***.

‘It was a long time to spend on an album and then it to be released in this.’
Niall started working on his latest album in October 2018 and spent a year writing it.
His comments come after he was forced to deny rumours he had started dating Jodie Comer.
During a Twitter Q&A on Tuesday to promote his new single, one fan tweeted their suspicions that Niall and the Killing Eve star were an item after spotting photos where they were both wearing the same distinctive ring.

The fan wrote, ‘confirmed! niall horan’s new girlfriend is jodie comer!’
Clearly amused by the tweet, Niall replied, ‘Confirmed ??,’ adding a row of laughing emojis.
Shortly after, fans weighed in with one insisting ‘he doesn’t even know who she is girl,’ to which the singer tweeted back, ‘He does.’
Other fans then dug up a tweet from the singer last month in which he revealed he was binging the latest series of Jodie’s show before he called the actress ‘the absolute best.’

Jodie in fact is happily coupled up, telling British Vogue back in March: ‘I’m very much in it [love]. I think love’s the best. I’d been single for a while and just kind of going with the flow and doing my thing.
‘That’s the thing, isn’t it? When you’re relaxed and letting the universe do what it’s doing, things kind of fall into place. Which is very much what happened.’
The actress has been keeping schtum about her boyfriend’s identity other than to say that he is a man and that their relationship is ‘fairly new’.

Niall’s most recent longterm romance was with singer and actress Hailee Steinfeld. The two dated for a year and a half before splitting in December 2018, despite neither of them publicly confirming they were an item.
He also briefly dated fellow chart-topper Ellie Goulding way back in 2013 as well as Victoria’s Secret model, Barbara Palvin, while there’s been long-standing rumours about his close friendship with Selena Gomez.
For now Niall is concentrating on his music, releasing a collaboration with singer Ashe on Wednesday, called Moral Of The Story.
