One Direction
One Direction are a British-Irish boyband, consisting of members Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson. They finished third on the seventh series of The X Factor. Following The X Factor, the group signed a record contract with Syco. They all applied as solo candidates to the competition, but failed to qualify for the "Boys" category. After suggestion by guest judge Nicole Scherzinger or Simon Cowell (They can't agree who) , the five teens were put into a band, thus qualifying for the Groups category. 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. One Direction finished third behind runner-up Rebecca Ferguson and winner Matt Cardle. Immediately after the series finished, their song "Forever Young", was leaked onto the internet. They released a single called "What Makes You Beautiful" which was #1 in England, Scotland and Ireland. Their single" Na Na Na" was #1 in Scotland. Their new Single "Gotta Be You" is released the 13th of November but a Radio 1 already played it. Their Album "Up All Night" was released on the 21st of November.
