Self promotion always rings hollow; I would think in popularity and *** appeal he would probably rank just below Dame Edna in about ten years time.

The difference is young harry, good music lasts for all time.
In 60 years, if the yanks are celebrating 1D first gig in USA I'd be very surprised!
The Beatles are timeless, 1D are filler!

He knows that Chimp it's a Newspaper making more out of a quote from a young guy than is actually there! same old, same old non story really.
Music is subjective as you know a lot of todays kids couldn't give a toss about the 'Fab Four' but love 1D that's just the way it is!

Credit to this Nobby Stiles lad (or whatever his is) he was quick to concede that 1D aren't in the same league as the fabs in terms of musical ability and ground breaking innovation.
But "fame-wise"? how do you measure that?
For those who don't remember, The Beatles simultaneously occupied the top FIVE positions on the American billboard chart in Spring 1964, they were number one in the UK singles chart (and one and two in the EP chart - ask your grandad what THAT means!) at the same time AND had the top two albums in the UK and US charts simultaneously.
Amidst the marketing deluge of wigs, wallpaper, board games, talcum powder, dolls, badges, jigsaws and tea towels those four lads from Liverpool went viral and really were EVERYWHERE for a good while, absolutely inescapable. Even "Bottled Beatles' Breath" went on sale in the States (Only in America!!!)
I think the world has expanded and diversified incalculably over the last half century. Niche interests and sub cultures have

The Beatles phenomenon had an effect on most age groups. Does 1D? 1D have made such an impact that I couldn't even tell you one of their songs. I would be very surprised if 1D really understand how big the Beatles were and, as Chimp implies, they will still be significant in 50 years time - will 1D?
I doubt it!

There have been many artists and bands that have been a lot more commercially successful than the Beatles, a lot of their legacy comes from being the First of a kind, but for me not necessarily the best!
