Yes! I said it! Well I've seen it A LOT on Twitter trends, E! News, Nickelodeon and SNL. This British-Irish boy band/group seems to have been taking America by storm just like everything else. One Direction is made up of five guys, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson. I honestly don't go out to many places but when I do I can seriously say I can hear their hit song 'What Makes You Beautiful' everywhere! I'm not saying it's a bad thing because I do like the song so don't get me wrong or anything. I can say that I prefer them over Justin Bieber, but I guess I can say it's because I like boy bands/groups more than solo artists.
Anyways! One Direction, or 1D to some, came out in The X Factor UK. Although they didn't win, they did place third in the 7th season of the show. They then signed with American record label Columbia Records. Their debut single, 'What Makes You Beautiful' was released in September 2011 and reached number one in the UK and charted in the top ten in several international markets. Their debut album, Up All Night, was released in November 2011 and debuted at number two on the UK Albums Chart, with the highest sales for number two album in 2011! Aren't they amazing? Ha ha.
