Both Justin Bieber's fourth studio album titled "Purpose" and One Direction's fifth studio album titled "Made in the A.M." are set to be released on Nov. 13. However, the albums were sold early in select Walmart and Target stores on Nov. 6, Friday.
It was not clear whether or not the "Purpose" and "Made in the A.M." were just mistakenly released a week before the actual release date but fans of Bieber and One Direction were infuriated by the leak.
The fans of Bieber and One Direction took to social networking sites to complain about the "Purpose" and "Made in the A.M." album leaks. One fan tweeted a photo of the albums being sold early.
Any sales made before the official release date will reportedly not count towards the overall sales data and Target and Walmart have yet to explain why some of their stores have started to stock Bieber and One Direction's albums early, according to Unreality TV.
Before "Purpose" hits shelves on Nov. 13, Bieber released "What Do You Mean?" and "Sorry." On the other hand, One Direction released "Drag Me Down," "Perfect," "Infinity" and recently "History" before the release of "Made in the A.M."
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Liam Payne described "History" as a "modern version" of "You've Got a Friend in Me."
According to Payne, "History" song is about "the way the fans and everyone have created this massive thing, One Direction," over the past five years more than anything. He said out of the song comes a little bit of closure for this chapter of the band.
