THE BOY BAND THAT LOST THE X-FACTOR PROGRAM BUT WON ALL THE WORLD

HI..... WE'RE JENIFFER AND KELLY AND THIS PAGE IS ONLY FOR DIRECTIONERS BECAUSE WE LOVE 1D. AND WELCOME.....♥.♥

Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson - together they are One Direction. It’s hard to believe that just four years ago these five boys hadn’t even met each other. But with the help of the biggest television show in the UK, The X Factor, their millions of loyal fans and some killer songs, One Direction have become a global phenomenon. And this is their incredible story…

The making of One Direction

In July 2010. Five young boys from various parts of the UK and Ireland had entered the competition with nothing else but a passion for singing and raw talent. Their names were Niall, Zayn , Liam, Harry and Louis and they had all entered as solo artists. Arriving to their individual auditions, they were given the task of impressing the judges. And they did. But just not quite how they imagined.

On 12 December 2010, One Direction were crowned the third place winners of The X Factor 2010

World domination

in February 2012, Niall, Zayn, Liam, Harry and Louis went out to America to promote their debut single. They began a gruelling tour of the States,. And their hard work paid off –‘What Makes You Beautiful’ debuted at No.28 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the highest entry for a British group’s debut single since the Spice Girls ‘Wannabe’ in 1997.

THE BEST MOMENT OF THE GUYS

Fans would line the streets outside studios, hotels and malls, hoping to meet their idols. In March 2012, the news came that Up All Night had entered the US Billboard 200 chart at number one – making music history as the first UK group to debut at No.1 with the debut album. The boys had done it, they’d officially cracked America!

April saw One Direction pick up two Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice awards in LA, where they performed on stage alongside the likes of Katy Perry and Justin Bieber and in front of the First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama. Their success was unprecedented and they now even had a celebrity following with the likes of Joe Jonas, Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift speaking out about how much they adored these five boys from over the pond.

The group celebrated this astounding achievement by announcing they would play a headline show at the incredible Madison Square Garden in New York in December

The first Number One

One Direction’s debut single, What Makes You Beautiful (Rami Yacoub, Carl Falk, Savan Kotecha), was released on 11 September 2011 in the UK – but remarkably, it was breaking records before it even went on sale. It became the biggest pre-order in Sony’s single history and went in at number one in the UK and Irish charts as soon as it was on iTunes. The boys cemented their success by selling a staggering 153,000 in their first week of release, with the fun California-shot video providing the perfect backdrop to one of the summer’s biggest tracks.

February 2012 saw the boys win their first BRIT Award for Best Single at the famous award ceremony in London. And with their successes growing, it was time to take the 1D family abroad.

Over 18.5 million Facebook fans and 71 million combined followers on Twitter

Harry: “The best thing about being in 1D is that you get to travel around with four of your best friends,”. “We’re having real fun, doing what we love to do. It’s brilliant and I never want it to change.”

Liam: not only have I had a lot of fun making music and working in the music industry but I’ve made the four best mates and four brothers that I’d always wanted. I couldn’t ask to work with four nicer guys and I’m very proud to be in One Direction.”
