I really hope 5SOS doesn't hog the top spot for a second week, because Little Mix and Ellie Goulding's albums are entering the chart next week.

Actually Demi Lovato is talented, and she didn't flop as her album debuted in the top ten and so did the lead single. Don't just ignorantly label artists 'talentless'. Selena on the other hand is a basic singer.
