One Direction fans started a campaign for the band to release No Control as a single, after they were disappointed with the promotional handling of their latest album Four, released on November 17, 2014.
Their main goal was to use social media like Twitter and Facebook to promote the song for a whole week using the hastag #WeWantNoControlAsASingle before the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday. Fans also planned #NoControlDay which has gone viral today in order to complete their mission.
Assuming ownership of the campaign, one fan Anna wrote on her Tumblr page," Since the team who works with the boys is not helping and everything surrounding this band is making me crazy and tired, it'd be nice if for once we made the press talk about something as good as fans doing something for them on a world scale." She added, "We all agree that No Control should have been a single from Four, we all love the song and we all wanted to hear it on the radio...It doesn't matter there were other songs worth to be a single in the album, this is something the fandom loves and that has always generated a big enthusiasm."
Sheena, one of the fans who organised the campaign told Digital Spy, that Four has been overlooked as an album, as it was not well promoted. Sheena also added that No Control was the song selected as it was primarily written by Liam and Louis and showcased the band's vocal abilities.
It's clear that theses devoted fans efforts have not gone unnoticed by the band. Louis Tomlinson tweeted out a thank you messages for all that the fans were doing.
This is soooo incredible guys ! Another example of how good you are to us !! https://t.co/63w6sjMBNo
