One Direction: New Zayn Malik album sells 'just under 2,000 copies' in first weekend

Considering Malik is a former member of One Direction, these sales numbers are certainly underwhelming.

Last year saw the likes of Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson release new albums, selling over 50,000, and 30,000 records respectively.

The showbiz site continued to include streams of Malik’s album – but the numbers didn’t change too much.

They explained that the streaming numbers for the album bring the number up to 8,000 overall – but this is still a huge blow for the singer.
