A while ago, Liam Payne made the comment that his debut solo single, “Strip That Down” was the first song from a former One Direction member to not only reach a billion streams, but that it also outsold other solo songs by these former members.

Liam Payne did not outsell anyone from One Direction, and that’s the cold truth. In today’s video, let’s take a look at Liam Payne’s solo career following One Direction and why it just hasn’t taken off.

I’d like to say, I’m not here to tear apart Liam because he, as with any artist, has dedicated fans, but amidst some interesting statements, poor sales and lack of notoriety - it’s worth investigating.

Now, every former bandmate of One Direction has had varying success. Harry Styles has proved to be the most successful; Zayn Malik’s performance has faltered a bit within recent years, Niall Horan has achieved moderate success while Louis Tomlinson has fared pretty averagely.

Liam has gained some traction here and there, and I’m not here to try and pit him against his former bandmates with a malicious intent. But following his own comments, among other things, that seem to be pretty out-of-touch, it made me want to explore his solo career more in depth.

As we continue, let me know whose solo career from One Direction is your favorite and why you believe Liam’s musical pursuit has shaped up to be how it is now. A like and subscription would also be greatly appreciated so you can stay connected to your favorite pop stars. Let’s get into Liam Payne's lackluster solo career now on Pop Dissected.
