One Direction: 'Midnight Memories' Album Leak is 'Annoying'

One Direction arrive at LAX airport in Los Angeles on Tuesday night (November 19).

The guys — Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and Liam Payne — wormed their ways through a crowd of fans and into awaiting cars.

“It is annoying because there’s this big build-up and it affects sales,” Liam shared about their new album, Midnight Memories leaking onto the internet ahead of it’s release. “We really want a No. 1, so we’re just kind of hoping for the best now. Hopefully, people go out and buy it.”

Louis added, “It’s just frustrating when you work so hard on an album and you kind of want everyone to hear it at the same time. Some select fans won’t listen to it until it’s out, which is great, but there are others who obviously can’t help themselves.”
