How did One Direction get started?
If you are a girl probably in between the ages of 10-18 you probably have heard of One Direction. They are an English boy band formed in London in 2010, with the members Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson. They signed with Simon Cowell at the record label Sysco Records after being formed and placing third in the British television music competition the X-factor. .The members applied as solo candidates but they did not qualify in the “Boys" category, so Judge Nicole suggested them to form a group so that they would qualify as "Groups'. They did not know each other before the audition of the British talent show but they were grouped together by fate and later achieved fame. The boys bonded quickly! The song "What makes you beautiful" hit top in the charts quickly after the X-factor.
"What Makes You Beautiful" was released as the first U.K. Single in September 2011. The song successfully landed on the U.K. Singles chart. Next, "Gotta Be You" was released as one last bullet before the album "Up All Night" was released in November 2011 and took the second spot of U.K. Albums chart by selling more than 138,000 copies in the first week! When One Direction first started, the group signed up as the opening act of Big Time Rush! Soon after, they they went to the 2012 BRIT Awards where they received the honor of Best British Single for "What Makes You Beautiful". That’s when One Direction first started out. The boys were very hopeful but had no idea what was in store.
The One Direction song, "Makes You Beautiful" was released in the first U.S. as a single and it was at number 28 on Billboard Hot 100. The album "Up All Night" sold over 176,000 copies in the first week! So in other words One Direction was a huge hit it the U.S! One Direction was also on ICarly! The band is booked to have their own TV series on the network. (I can't wait!) The impact that 1D are having is truly amazing, and thousands if not millions of fans across the globe have now have the “One Direction Infection”. The fans help make the band who they are, and together are known as the “Directioners”.
