Louis Tomlinson says he's done a 'f**king good job' at solo career away from One Direction

Louis Tomlinson says he has done a 'f**king good job' at a solo career away from One Direction.

The former boyband member, 30, performed at gigantic arenas, won countless awards, and sold millions of albums during his time in 1D.

However, being away from the boys - including Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Zayn Malik - is like navigating a whole new world.

The singer thanked his loyal fans for keeping his shows sold out and said it's 'not thanks to Spotiy, Apple Music, radio stations, or a record label'.

When asked how he measured his success today as a solo artist, Louis said: "It's a difficult question."

"It’s very easy to be over-analytical in my job about a million different things," he added to Euphoria Magazine.

"If I leave the stage after a show and I feel like 90% of the people in there have had a good night, then I’ve done a f**king good job."

His honest chat about his career comes as he revealed the tracklist and artwork of the follow-up to his debut Walls, which was released in 2020.

Faith in the Future is set for release on November 11, 2022.

In a statement announcing the new record, Louis said: "I'm so excited to tell you that my new album Faith In The Future is out November 11.

"After living with this album for a while, I can't wait for you all to hear it."

He added: "Thank you for allowing me to make the music I want to make."

Songs on his upcoming album include The Greatest, Written All Over Your Dace, Face the Music, Chicago and Silver Tongues.

There are 14 tracks in total.

Meanwhile, back in July, Liam confessed he thought One Direction's album Up All Night was 's**t' - despite selling 4.5 million copies.

One Direction were one of the X-Factor's most successful exports.

Speaking on Smallzy's Surgery podcast last week, he said: "Twelve years ago today the band got formed, but the first album was s**t any way."

One Direction went on to release albums Take Me Home in 2012, Midnight Memories in 2013, Four in 2014 and Midnight in the A.M in 2015, before they split in 2016.
