One Direction are a British-Irish boy band
formed in London
in 2010, consisting of members Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry
Styles and Louis Tomlinson. They signed to Simon
Cowell's record label Syco Records after being formed and placing third in the seventh series of British television
music competition The X Factor. They later signed in North
America to Columbia Records.
In November 2011, One Direction released their debut album Up All Night, which became
the fastest-selling debut album in the UK of 2011. In 2012, it debuted at
number one on the U.S. Billboard 200, making One Direction the first
UK group in U.S. chart history to debut at number one with their first album. Up
All Night spawned the Official UK Singles Chart top ten singles — "What Makes You Beautiful", "Gotta Be You", and "One Thing". In 2012, "What
Makes You Beautiful" won the BRIT Award
for Best British Single. One Direction supported the
album with their Up All Night Tour. One Direction's second studio
album is set for release in late 2012. One Direction's world tour is set for 2013, with
tickets grossing $15.7 million for their Australian and New
Zealand dates.
One Direction have been described as sparking a resurgence in the boy band
concept, and of forming part of a new "British
Invasion" in the United States. As of June 2012, according to Nick
Gatfield, the chairman and chief executive of Sony Music Entertainment UK, One Direction
represent a $50 million business empire. Their work has
earned them awards and
nominations. One Direction have supported various charities and
foundations, and have commercial endorsements with Pokémon, Nokia, HarperCollins
and Hasbro. They
also appeared as themselves in the iCarly episode
"iGo One Direction" (2012).
History
Formation and record deal
(2010–11)
In 2010, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis
Tomlinson auditioned as solo candidates for the seventh series of British television
music competition The X Factor. They all made it through to the
bootcamp stage of the competition, but
failed to progress to the "Boys" category at judges' houses. After a suggestion by
guest judge Nicole Scherzinger, they were put together to
form a five-piece boy band at Wembley
Arena, London,
England, July
2010, during the bootcamp stage of the competition, thus qualifying for the
"Groups" category. The newly formed boy band had five weeks to gel as
a group before the next stage of the competition. The group got together for
week-long sessions in a bungalow at the bottom of Styles' stepfather's garden
to get to know each other and to practise. Styles came up with the name One
Direction as he thought it would sound good when The X Factor
announcer Peter Dickson read their name out on the
live shows. For their qualifying song at judges' houses, and their first song
as a group, One Direction sang an acoustic version of "Torn". In the live shows, One Direction covered songs
by musical acts; The Beatles, Coldplay, Kelly
Clarkson, Elton John, Snow Patrol,
Kim Wilde,
Pink
and Rihanna,
among others. After the elimination of F.Y.D., Diva Fever
and Belle
Amie within four weeks, they were Simon
Cowell's last act in the competition.

The group quickly gained popularity in the UK. One Direction finished in
third place behind runner-up Rebecca
Ferguson and winner Matt Cardle. Immediately after the final, their song
"Forever Young", which would
have been released if they had won The X Factor, was leaked onto the
internet. After the final it was confirmed, One Direction had been signed by
Cowell to an £2 million Syco Records
record contract. Recording for their debut album began directly after. In
February 2011, One Direction and nine other contestants from the series
participated in the X Factor Live Tour. The tour saw the group
performing for 500,000 people throughout the UK. After the tour concluded in
April 2011, the group continued working on their debut album. Recording took
place in Sweden, United States, and the United Kingdom, as One Direction worked
with producers Carl Falk, Savan
Kotecha, Steve
Mac, RedOne,
and Rami
Yacoub, among others.
Up All Night and international breakthrough (2011–12)
Released in September 2011, One Direction's debut single "What Makes You Beautiful" debuted at
number one on the UK Singles Chart, after becoming the most
pre-ordered Sony Music Entertainment single in
history. Subsequent singles "Gotta Be You" and "One Thing" both peaked within
the UK Singles Chart top ten. In November 2011, they signed a record deal with Columbia
Records in North America. Steve Barnett, the co-chairman of
Columbia Records, said it was not a difficult decision to sign One Direction.
"Other artists in that category had gotten a little older," he said.
"I just thought there was a void, and maybe they could seize and hold
it." Upon arrival in the United States, February 2012, One Direction
embarked on a radio promotion spree, as well as their first American concert
tour as an opening act for Big Time Rush. "What Makes You
Beautiful" was released in the United States in February 2012, where it
debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 28, becoming
the highest Billboard Hot 100 debut for a UK act since 1998. It peaked
at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and as of July 2012, had sold over
3 million units in the United States.
On 12 March 2012, One Direction made their first television appearance in
the U.S. on The Today Show at the Rockefeller Center, an estimated 15,000 fans
descended on the plaza. Melissa Lonner, senior entertainment producer for The
Today Show, said "One Direction is relatively unknown with no hits
yet. They basically exploded, and all the adults are saying, 'Who are these
people, and how do they know about it?'" One Direction's debut studio
album, Up All Night was released
globally in early 2012, it was critically lauded for its appeal to the teenage
audience. Allmusic
wrote "By making this album perfectly inoffensive, artistically ambiguous,
and freakin' adorable, One Direction is perfectly positioned to take the world
by storm and prove that no matter what the televised results originally
concluded, they have the "X Factor" necessary for success."
Worldwide the album topped the charts in sixteen countries. Up All Night
entered the UK Albums Chart at number two, selling 138,631
copies, the highest sales for a number two album in 2011, and became the
fastest-selling debut album on the UK Albums Chart of 2011. In the U.S., it
debuted at number one on the Billboard
200 chart, making One Direction the first UK group in U.S. chart history to
debut at number one with their debut album. As of 12 July 2012, Up All Night
is 2012's second biggest-selling album in the United States. Up All Night
had sold 660,000 units in the UK as of 2 August 2012, and 1,007,000 units in
the United States as of 25 July 2012. As of August 2012, the album has sold
over 3 million units worldwide.

All Night Tour, April 2012.
In December 2011, One Direction embarked on their first headlining UK
concert tour, the Up All Night Tour. In early 2012, they announced Australasian and North American legs of the
concert tour, with dates from April to July 2012. The total 62-show tour sold
out completely. Receiving positive reviews, critics commended One Direction's
singing abilities, production of the show, and One Direction's showmanship. A
recording of a concert from the tour, entitled Up All Night: The Live Tour was
released in May 2012, with the DVD subsequently topping the charts in
twenty-five countries. In Australia, it was certified six times platinum by the Australian Recording Industry
Association (ARIA) for shipments of 90,000 units in its first week. In the
U.S., it debuted at number one on the Billboard DVD chart, selling
76,000 copies, surpassing sales of the Billboard
200 number one album, John Mayer's Born and Raised, which sold
65,000 copies. One Direction once again made U.S. chart history as it marked
the first time a music DVD outsold the Billboard 200 number one album.
The opening sales also make it the highest music DVD debut of 2012 and the
second highest debut in the past five years behind Adele's
Live at the Royal Albert
Hall, which launched at number one, with 96,000 copies, in December
2011.
On 21 February 2012, One Direction attended the 2012 Brit Awards
at which "What Makes You Beautiful" won the BRIT Award
for Best British Single. During One Direction's
acceptance speech, Payne stated One Direction would embark on their first arena tour in 2013. As of April
2012, One Direction are being sued for trademark infringement by a low-profile U.S.
band from California, who go by the same name. According to the lawsuit, the
U.S. band has been using the name since 2009, recorded two albums and filed an
application to register the trademark name in the U.S. in February 2011. The
U.S. band say they are entitled to three times the profits made by the UK band,
as well as compensatory damages in excess of $1million. The lawsuit claims that
Syco and Sony Music "chose to ignore the plaintiff's rights and wilfully
infringed them" after they realised in early 2011 that the two bands share
the same name. On 13 April 2012, a spokesman for the UK group responded to the
claims saying: "One Direction's management tried to resolve the situation
amicably. One Direction's lawyers now have no choice but to defend the lawsuit
and the band's right to use their name." In June 2012, at a Creative
Industries Reception hosted by Sony Music Entertainment UK and the Confederation of British Industry,
Nick Gatfield, chairman and chief executive officer of Sony Music Entertainment
UK, stated how he expects One Direction to represent a $100 million business
empire over 2013. Gatfield talked about One Direction's global success.
"What you might not know about One Direction is that they already
represent a $50 million business and that's a figure we expect to double next
year".On 1 August 2012, One Direction were presented with discs by Syco
and Sony Music, for selling 8 million singles, 3 million albums and 1 million
DVDs.
Upcoming second studio album
(2012)
In May 2012, One Direction began recording their second studio album in
Stockholm, Sweden. In April 2012, British newspaper The
Independent ran an article entitled, "One Direction – but where
next? Writers join battle to create boy band's next hits", according to
the article, Simon Cowell has challenged music's "most
successful" songwriters to compete for space on One Direction's
second album, after the global success of their debut album. Dee
Demirbag, responsible for international artists and repertoire at music
publisher, BMG Rights Management in Scandinavia, said:
"Breaking a boy band in the U.S. is about as big as it gets in the
music industry, so you can imagine the competition to get cuts on the next One
Direction album is immense." Conversely the same month, One Direction
disclosed that they wanted to contribute more to the songwriting
for their second album, Styles stating, "we're always writing on the road
and in hotels and airports. We don't ever want our music to sound like a
40-year-old man in an office has written it and given it to us to
perform." The album is scheduled for release in late 2012. In June 2012,
Horan told MTV
News, the lead single is scheduled for release in September 2012.
One Direction are due to headline New York City's Madison Square Garden on 3 December 2012. One
Direction are also set to embark on their second concert tour, the 2013 World Tour, in February 2013.
The concert tour thus far consists of 101 shows in the UK, Ireland, North
America and Australasia. In the UK and Ireland, ticket sales reached 300,000
within a day of release, which included a six date sell out at London's The O2 Arena. In North America,
the group added additional shows due to "overwhelming demand".In
Australian and New Zealand markets, tickets grossed US$15.7 million, with
all 190,000 tickets being sold for eighteen shows to be held in Australia and
New Zealand.

One Direction's debut studio album, Up All Night (2011) is
predominantly a pop music record, containing elements of teen pop, dance pop, pop rock and power pop,
with electropop
and rock
music influences. Digital Spy's Robert Copsey described the album as a
"collection of pg pop rock with killer choruses", while The New York Times considered it "full
of easy rock-inflected pop, blithe and sometimes clever." Jason Lipshutz
of Billboard opined that the album demonstrates an originality in sound
that was "necessary for the revitalization of the boy band movement",
comparing their "pop harmonies" to those of boy bands 'N Sync, Backstreet
Boys and 98 Degrees. Songs "One Thing" and "What Makes You Beautiful" were particularly
noted for the genres of power pop and pop rock, for
their "powerhouse" guitar riffs and "forceful" choruses.
Vocally, in concert settings, Erica Futterman of Rolling
Stone, asserted their acoustic
performances as both showing off "Horan's ability to play guitar, as well as
One Direction's admirable live vocals. There was no need to worry about a
backing track or a bum note, a pleasant realization at a pop show." Herald Sun's
Cameron Adams opined that One Direction contain "strong pop voices",Melody
Lau of National Post wrote similar commentary,
"It's easy to get lost in inherent appeal of their perfectly coiffed dos
and almost-too-put-together preppy style but somewhere in the midst of all the
love-struck squeals of teenage girls are guys who can actually sing and, to a
certain extent, entertain." Chris Richards of The Washington Post, elaborated, "As
the five traded couplets, it was tough to imagine a future Justin
Timberlake, Ricky Martin or Bobby Brown
emerging from the pack. No one voice stood out." Jane Stevenson of portal
site Canoe
wrote, "What I didn't really prepare myself for was that they all can
actually sing in concert." Mike Wass of Idolator, reviewing a 2012 concert in Sydney,
felt One Direction's "surprisingly accomplished effort" of King of
Leon's "Use Somebody" proved that One Direction is
"more than" capable of evolving its sound in the future.

Neil McCormick from The Daily Telegraph published an article on
the nature of One Direction's success in North America, noting that Americans
had left a gap in the market, writing that it took the prominence of Justin
Bieber to demonstrate that there was still a market for "clean cut,
wholesome, middle class parent friendly pop: cute boys advocating puppy love.
And what could be better than one cute boy, if not five?". One Direction
have been described as sparking the resurgence in the boy band concept, and as
forming part of a new "British
Invasion" in the United States. Bill Werde, a representative of Billboard magazine commented.
"There's a lot of possibility here, there's a lot of upside, that level of
talent with those kinds of looks, it's really a perfect storm for a massive,
massive successful phenomenon."
One Direction greet Swedish fans in Stockholm,
May 2012.
Sonny Takhar, the managing director of Syco Records,
attributes the breakthrough to the power of social
media. "Sometimes you feel the song's the star, but it's not like that
here – it's the act," he says. "It's a real moment. Social media has
become the new radio, it's never broken an act globally like this before."
Will Bloomfield, the group's manager, added, "These guys live online, and
so do their fans." Their management employs a social media team and the
members all tweet themselves, "which helps create the illusion that they
couldn't be any closer to their fans." One Direction's Twitter account
had amassed 5 million followers as of July 2012, with the account gaining
followers at an average of 20,000 per day. Each member is known for their
feature; Horan is "the cute one", Malik is "the quiet and
mysterious one", Payne is "the sensible one", Styles is
"the charming one" and Tomlinson is "the funny one". Horan
commented on One Direction as a boy band, saying: "People think that a boy
band is air-grabs and [being] dressed in all one colour. We're boys in a band.
We're trying to do something different from what people would think is the
typical kind of boy band. We're trying to do different kinds of music and we're
just trying to be ourselves, not squeaky clean." Leah Collins writing for
the National Post remarked that One Direction had
succeeded on the latter front. She writes, "For the most part, that just
means the group presents themselves as typical, goofy and uncensored teenage
boys — posting jokey YouTube videos, for instance, or boozing at awards
shows." Writing for The Observer, Kitty
Empire opined, "Dance routines are fundamental to the boy band – or at
least, to 90s Take
That and late-00s JLS.
One Direction fulfil a great many boy band prerequisites (looks, soppy lyrics,
tune-grasp, fame-lust) but their lack of routines points to the subtle
digressions afoot here." Jon Caramanica from The New York Times noted, "The story of
boy bands is inevitably the story of disbandment", although he felt,
"Given that the band has built some dissonance into its act, it may take
awhile for that to happen to One Direction."
Other ventures
One Direction have released three books. Published by HarperCollins,
the books contains personal snaps, unseen photographs, as well as written

wallpapers, ringtones, and behind the scenes videos of the band. In April 2012,
Hasbro announced
an agreement with One Direction to produce a new line of toys and games based
on the group. The range will be sold globally in the autumn of 2012, with the
exception of the UK and Ireland.
Philanthropy
In 2010, when One Direction were contestants on The X Factor, they
and their fellow series seven contestants
released a cover of David Bowie's "Heroes" in aid of Help
for Heroes. The song, said to have been recorded in the week beginning 18
October 2010, was released as a charity single in aid of Help for Heroes, a
charity which supports injured servicemen and women. All sixteen finalists
performed the song on 20 November 2010's results show. The single entered both
the Irish Singles Chart on 25 November 2010 and the
UK
Singles Chart on 28 November 2010 at number one. In 2012, One Direction
contributed to the fundraiser cookbook Dish for a Wish. The proceeds
from sales of the book benefit the Rays of Sunshine Children's Charity, an
organisation that grants the wishes of sick children in the UK. On 9 May 2012,
One Direction visited the ill children of the charity. In April 2012, One
Direction teamed up with Charitybuzz to help raise money in aid for the Great Ormond Street Hospital
Children's Charity. VIP tickets to meet the band in person on their North
American leg of their Up All Night Tour were made available with the
proceeds going to the children's charity. In April 2012, they also aided the California Earthquake Authority
(CEA) through bidding auctions to meet the band. In July 2012, One Direction
teamed up with British Airways in a 'text-to-win' competition,
which was launched on social networking websites, giving eight
fans the chance to fly with the band on a one hour flight organized by British
Airways. Money raised from the competition went to Flying Start, British
Airways' global charity partnership with Comic
Relief, to help children in the UK and some of the world's poorest
countries.

child. Regarding his one functional kidney, Payne said
"I have to be careful not to drink too much, even water, and I have to keep
myself as healthy as possible." Growing up, his mother would juggle shifts
as a nursery nurse to accompany him on all his auditions. As a student, Payne
was heavily involved in sports, primarily trying out for various school teams.
He eventually found his place on the cross country running team, coming first:

the People, Coldplay
and Kings
of Leon among his influences. "We want to have a little bit heavier
guitars, bigger drums, more of a live feel, because that's what we like
doing," Styles says for their next album. "Because we are 18 years
old, it's important that we like what we’re doing as well. It wouldn't be good
if we weren’t enjoying what we're doing, and we are." Styles states that The
X Factor gave him "a lot more" confidence as a performer and
singer. Styles says that he often looks to Coldplay front man Chris
Martin for inspiration when performing on stage. Styles also states that The Beatles
had a profound influence on him growing up, as his father would play their
music. "I still listen to their music over and over again. They are
