After having a successful turn out for the Thunder Clap Project, fans focused on getting "No Control" on Billboard's Song of the Summer poll.
The fans of One Direction have been campaigning to turn the song "No Control" into a single and now it's making a bid for song of the summer.
A couple of days ago an article was written about why ''No Control'' should be a single.
The boys have included their support, mainly Louis Tomlinson who's been painted as the frontman for this song.
Tomlinson has also been answering questions about the project at recent public events like The Late Show with James Cameron and after the Billboard awards.
