Justin Bieber and One Direction are debuting their yet-to-be-released albums on November 13.

Bieber officially announced the release date of his album with hit song 'What Do You Mean?' on September 3 episode of "The Tonight Show". One Direction also announced the same date for their album 'Made in the A.M.' this week. 

1D seemed to be excited about their new album at the Apple Music Festival, where they divulged the details of how the album came together.

"It kind of started at the end of last year, start of this year," Niall Horan was quoted as saying by the Newsday. "We took a lot of time to write and we're all very proud of it. It's definitely our favorite."

Liam Payne said that the band members went their own ways to compose songs in the 'Made in the A.M.', and took help from different lyricists, and then got back again to put it all in one album.

"I guess that's why it's our favorite -- because it's the most we've ever written together," Payne said.

The members added that pre-ordering Made in the A.M. would make the buyers eligible for an instant copy of Infinity track of the album.

In a recent poll on which of the albums is likely to sell better, 1D grossed over 3,500 votes, while Bieber could only manage 1,800.

The releasing of albums by two best-selling music phantoms has led to a huge debate on Twitter, as to whose album will take the no. 1 slot around the world, with over 9,000 retweets for the thread posing this question.
