Brace yourselves because tomorrow will see one of the biggest (and closest) chart battles begin when One Direction and Justin Bieber release their respective new albums.

Analysts have failed to predict who will win outright based on pre-order numbers, with the titans of pop neck and neck ahead of a spectacular race.

That being said, One Direction\'s Niall Horan told Digital Spy today that he doesn\'t really see it as a competition, but as a healthy boost for pop culture in general.

"It\'s happened to us before," Niall said. "We\'ve released albums on the same day as Rihanna and stuff like that, but it just happens to be - on the internet - made into a big deal that it\'s Bieber.

"But it\'s fine - he\'s got good tunes, we\'ve got good tunes, and we don\'t really see it as who\'s going to win.

"If anything it\'s good for pop culture that something like this is going to happen. There\'s no fighting involved at all."

However, Niall has admitted that he is feeling nervous about the release of 1D\'s

"When you\'re making the album you don\'t really get that nervous - you don\'t think about it," he explained.

"It\'s only when it gets closer to the actual release date when you\'re doing promo, talking about it, releasing songs and stuff like that when it becomes quite nerve-racking.

"It\'d be stupid to say that it\'s not, because when you\'re making it you love it because it\'s your stuff, but you obviously don\'t know what people are going to think of it."

With an army of Directioners behind them, it\'s safe to assume the reaction will be positive.
