It’s a double celebration for Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson this evening as
One Direction’s new album, Take Me Home, and new single, Little Things, have both debuted at Number 1 on the Official Charts!
Little Things entered at Number 3 in Wednesday’s Official Singles Chart Update, however 1D managed to surge ahead of Bruno Mars’ Locked Out Of Heaven (Number 2) and Little Mix’s DNA (Number 3) to finish the week in pole position. The track, which was written by Ed Sheeran, is only One Direction’s second single to top the Official Singles Chart (the other being their debut release, What Makes You Beautiful, which reached Number 1 in September last year).
The Anglo Irish boyband’s first album, Up All Night, was famously kept off Number 1 last December by Rihanna’s Talk That Talk. Nearly twelve months on, and
Take Me Home has not only taken the Official Albums Chart top spot, with a sales tally of 155,000, it has also become the second fastest selling album of 2012 so far behind Mumford & Sons’ Babel, which sold 158,000 during its first week on sale.
