ONE DIRECTION

One Direction members include Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson, the band were formed on the UK's The X Factor in 2010 and are among the most successful acts the show has ever produced. Their debut single, What Makes You Beautiful, went straight to Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart upon its release in September 2011, the first of four One Direction Number 1 singles. One Direction's debut album Up All Night was released in November 2011 and landed at Number 2, kept off the top spot of the Official Albums Chart by Rihanna's Talk That Talk, but signified the start of a career that went on to rack up a solid four consecutive Number 1 albums. Zayn Malik was formerly in the group and became the first to leave the band to embark on a solo career in March 2015.

This didn't age well and I don't if I'm sad or happy about it. They still might get back together, though I wouldn't count on it in the nearest future.

I think it's Because their Fans Buy the album the day it comes out, so they don't pay for Streaming..or Requesting it on Radio?

How is it possible that the band with a huge following have only ever had 4 number 1 singles and each only lasted 1 week at the top... That's once every year they've been together except for (I think I read) 2014! What's that all about? Very surprising
