Their debut single "What Makes You Beautiful" became the fastest selling single of 2011 and entered the chart at #1 in both the UK and Ireland. The music video has already garnered over 27M views, check it out here: http://vevo.ly/1DWMYB.

One Direction are Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik and Niall Hora. All five boys auditioned for the UK show X Factor in 2010 as solo artists. However, at the suggestion of Simon Cowell and guest judge Nicole Scherzinger they joined forces as a group, quickly becoming one of the competition's most popular acts of all time, finishing in the final three and garnering a gigantic and loyal fan-base along the way.

Stand out tracks on the album include recent record-breaking No.1 'What Makes You Beautiful', the pulsating pop/rock 'Tell Me A Lie' written by Kelly Clarkson and 'Gotta Be You', an emotive and heartfelt ballad with lush strings, soaring harmonies and an indelible melody. The epically anthemic 'One Thing' is another hit-in-waiting: 'More Than This', a beautiful and melodic smash, has the boys distinctive vocals sounding stronger than ever. Other collaborators include RedOne and Toby Gad (Beyonce, Fergie, etc) with the boys co-writing on several tracks.



A special Limited Yearbook Deluxe Edition of the album will also be available featuring two extra tracks, including 'Stand Up' and the fan favorite 'Moments'. The package also includes an exclusive booklet featuring personal photos of the band, interviews, fan photos and stickers.

When I saw "biggest UK breakout .." and Regina's name, I knew this was a thread about 1D.
I hope they find success in the US but I really doubt it

Originally posted by B2R4D I can't believe people are actually doubting they will become successful in the US. Just watch what will happen next year. The fact that boybands aren't popular anymore doesn't even come into the equation. It's about how fresh and distinctive the group is and the quality of the music. They will most likely become the successor to Bieber. The next teen fad. In a sense, that's already happened internationally of course.
