Will One Direction's next album have more sales and hit singles than "Four"?

One Direction have confirmed that a fifth album is in the works. Four still had good sales but it had lower sales than Midnight Memories. Aside from this, Steal My Girl and Night Changes aren't really hit singles. The boys said that they would "take some more time" with the fifth album. The reason for this is because 1D keep releasing new music and people can get tired. So them taking more time to work on this album is a certain recipe for success. They'd be gone for a while then come out of nowhere with another album. Aside from this, there won't be any major competition for them when they release their album. Justin Bieber's new album would've been out for ages already and Taylor Swift won't be making a new one just yet. So 1D's fifth album could make history by being their biggest album and break the boyband curse of fading away after a few years. Thoughts?
