One Direction, often shortened to 1D, are an
English-Irish pop boy band formed in London, England in 2010. The group are composed of Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson; former
member Zayn Malik departed
from the group in March 2015. The group signed with Simon Cowell's record
label Syco Records after
forming and finishing third in the seventh
series of the British televised singing
competition The X Factor in 2010.
Propelled to global success by social media, One
Direction's five albums, Up All Night(2011),
Take Me Home(2012),
Midnight Memories(2013), Four(2014),
and Made in the A.M.(2015),
topped charts in most major markets, and generated hit singles including "What Makes You Beautiful"
(their first number one on the UK Singles Chart,
and the highest debut for a British act on the US Billboard Hot 100 since 1998), "Live While
We're Young", "Best Song
Ever", "Story of My Life"
and "Drag Me Down".
After the release of Four, One Direction became the first band in the US Billboard 200 history to have their first four albums debut at number one. Their
third album, Midnight Memories, was the best-selling album worldwide of
2013.
Considered teen idols,
One Direction were often subject to fan hysteria. They embarked on four world
tours, two of which were all-stadium. The band's Where We Are
Tour, in support of Midnight Memories, was
the highest-grossing concert tour in 2014, the highest-grossing tour by a vocal group in history, and
the 15th highest-grossing concert tour of all time, grossing $290.2 million (unadjusted for inflation). The
band went on hiatus in January 2016, allowing all members to pursue other
projects.
As of 2020, the band have sold a total of 70
million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling boy bands of all time.
The band have won nearly 200 awards,
including seven Brit Awards, four MTV Video
Music Awards, six Billboard Music
Awards, seven American
Music Awards (including Artist of the Year in 2014 and 2015), and 28 Teen Choice Awards.
In 2013, they earned an estimated $75 million, becoming the second highest
earning celebrity under 30 according to Forbes.
As the world's best-selling artist of 2013, the group was named the Global
Recording Artist of the Year by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry.
In 2014, Billboard named the band "Artist of the Year". Forbes ranked them as
the fourth highest-earning
celebrities in the world in 2015, and second in
2016.
Take Me Home is the second studio album
by British-Irish boy band One Direction,
released on 9 November 2012 by Syco Music and Columbia Records. As a
follow-up to One Direction's internationally successful debut álbum Up All Night(2011),
Take Me Home was written in groups and has an average of just under five
songwriters per track. Largely recorded and composed in Sweden during 2012, Savan Kotecha, Rami Yacoub and Carl Falk, who
composed One Direction's hits, "What Makes
You Beautiful" and "One Thing",
spent six months in Stockholm developing
songs for the album, and were able to shape melodies around the
members' tones.
The album's songs are characterised by metronomic pop, vocal
harmonies, hand claps, prominent electric guitar riffs, bright synthesisers, a homogeneous sound and message, and rotations of lead vocals. The
members' voices are presented individually on the record, and its lyricism
speaks of falling in love, unrequited love,
commitment, jealousy and self-empowerment. Take Me Home garnered mostly
positive reviews from music critics. There was praise for its quality
of production, while criticism hinged on its generic, rushed nature.
Globally,
the album topped the charts in more than 35 countries. According
to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry(IFPI),
Take Me Home was the fourth-global-best-selling album of 2012, selling 4.4
million units. The album's number-one debut on the US Billboard 200 chart made One Direction the first group to bow atop the Billboard 200
with their first two albums since American girl group Danity Kane entered
with Welcome to
the Dollhouse in 2008 and their self-titled debut in 2006.
One Direction
also became the second act in 2012 to achieve two number-one albums within a
12-month period, and the first boy band in US chart history to land two
number-one albums in a calendar year. Their debut album and Take
Me Home were the third and fifth-best-selling albums of 2012 in the United
States, respectively, making the band the first act to place two albums in the
year-end top five in the Nielsen SoundScan era.
The album's lead single, "Live While We're Young", released on
28 September 2012, peaked inside the top ten in almost every country it charted
in and recorded the highest one-week opening sales figure for a song by a
non-U.S. artist. The
subsequent singles, "Little Things" and "Kiss You", were less
successful, although the former topped the UK Singles
Chart.
To promote the album, One Direction performed the album's songs on several
televised programmes and a headlining sold-out concert at the Madison
Square Garden. Furthermore, One Direction embarked on their
second worldwide concert tour entitled the Take Me Home Tour in 2013
Baby c'mon over
