![]() Midnight Memories is One Direction’s third studio album. One Direction didn’t even write their music until their third album…so basically, they worked on one of their best, self made albums while they were on tour…ain’t that something. With such a busy agenda, you may be wondering how their music abilities are coming along at this time “Are they even writing music? Recording? Anything? Is this all PR?”. While touring, the boys filmed a music video for a cover of “One Way Or Another (Teenage Kicks)” for Comic Relief, a British charity, and travelled to Ghana to help volunteer at a children’s hospital and schools in the area. You can’t tell me that isn’t impressive for a band who consisted of 16, 17, and 18 year olds, especially one that was only 3 years old. Their raging success in the states continued and even granted them their first world tour in 2013 known as the “Take Me Home Tour” where they performed 134 shows and sold 1,635,000 tickets. They released their second studio album, Take Me Home, the same year and their sales reached 4.4 million copies each worldwide at the end of 2012. They went on a tour in the UK known as the “Up All Night Tour” and saw extreme success in their home area (except Niall, our Irish king). One Direction’s sales of their first album, Up All Night, no matter the country or region, especially in the U.S, was highly celebrated when it was released in 2012. They were the best of friends, and they made some of the most popular songs of all time. ![]() Whether it be raw talent or their staircase diary chats, their fanbase had (and still, to this day, have) a connection to their personalities and dynamic as a band. However, their “history” (haha get it) did not stop there One Direction had accumulated a large following throughout their time on screen. Harry came up with their band name, and they continued throughout the competition together until they were eliminated and took home third place. Each boy entered as solo contestants, but Simon envisioned a much larger future. So in 2010, One Direction was created, some would even say “formulated”, by the aforementioned Simon Cowell after they were each eliminated in the “Bootcamp” stage of one of the most popular and widely known singing competitions, The X Factor. I’ve already explained the background of One Direction in my “Which One Direction Article Are You?” quiz/article (go take it if you haven’t already), but I’m going to discuss it further for those who are unaware of the origins of the 5 men I’ve spent 10 (11 in August) years of time investment so sit back, relax, and grab a snack. Although this may be true…due to a certain Simon Cowell…that point is invalid and here’s why.īefore One Direction was REALLY One Direction x factor stair diaries…if you know, you know. Many love to poke fun at the band, calling them somewhat of an “industry production”. Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik were the best boy group of all time. However, I am here to explain why I’m right and every other opinion is wrong. I know, this is a highly debatable subject.
