Van Direction

British music group One Direction can now compete for the title of the most successful boy band with the titans of the 90s Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync. In 2010, five solo singers were fortunate enough to unite in a team, and literally a year later they became world stars. The glory has not subsided until now, despite the changes in the composition and the temporary suspension of joint musical activities.

Who at a young age did not dream of becoming famous. Perform on a huge stage for millions of fans, sign autographs, star in commercials for leading brands. Guided by these desires, five guys from the UK came to the talent show The X Factor in 2010.

The eldest of them, Louis Tomlinson, was 18 years old at the time of the audition. Before the judges, he sang the song "Hey There Delilah" Plain White T's. Later, the young man called the performance terrible - the voice trembled with excitement, and the song did not seem to reveal its vocal potential. However, his sincerity and modesty made all three members of the jury let the young man go further.

Niall Horan from Ireland appeared on The X Factor for the second time: a year earlier, the jury noted that the boy may not be ready for the world of show business. In 2010, he performed the Ne-Yo song "So Sick". The selection of the song did not impress the judges, however Niall received three "yes" out of four.

Liam Payne has appeared in The X Factor not for the first time. In 2008, he passed his first audition and made it to the selection for the mentoring teams. Simon Cowell, a member of the jury, turned him down, advising him to return after two years. The young man did just that, astonishing the judges with the performance of Michael Buble's "Cry Me a River".

Zayn Malik, British of Pakistani descent, and Harry Styles opted for a cappella version over traditional singing. So, Zane demonstrated his voice capabilities on the Mario song "Let me love you", and Harry sang "Isn't She Lovely" by Stevie Wonder.

The idea to unite the solo performers into a group belonged to Nicole Scherzinger, a guest judge. After the names of those who pass on as solo performers were named, the jury invited five future One Direction participants to the stage. They were asked to continue as a group on the show, and Harry, Liam, Zane, Niall and Louis, of course, grabbed the ticket.

The name "One Direction" was coined by Harry. The explanation is simple: five teenagers did not know each other before auditioning for The X Factor, and after the fateful decision of the jury, they moved in one direction - to success.

One Direction stayed the best in The X Factor week after week, but finished in third place in the final, behind Rebecca Ferguson and winner Matt Cardle. Defeat did not mean the end of the promising band's career: Simon Cowell's record company Syco Records signed a £ 2 million deal with One Direction, and in January 2011 the band began writing their first album.

In September 2011, One Direction's debut single "What Makes You Beautiful" was released. It broke into the UK charts and became the best-selling Sony Music Entertainment track in history. The video for this song has gained over 24 million views on YouTube in two months. "Gotta Be You" and "One Thing" also ranked among the top 10 music released in the UK.

Two months later, One Direction signed to Columbia Records. The record company was afraid that the contract would be unprofitable and the boys would not cope with their success. Nevertheless, their hits continued to stay at the first lines of the charts.

On November 21, 2011 the world heard the debut album "Up All Night", which included 13 songs. In 16 countries of the world, including the USA, Ireland and Canada, the disc won first place. A year later, 2.7 million copies of the album were sold out, and this number is growing daily.

In late 2011, One Direction embarked on the Up All Night Tour. They played 62 concerts in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada and Mexico. There were no tickets left at the box office. One of them was released in DVD format in May 2012. The video concert also became popular, topping the charts in the US and Australia.

In the same 2011, the group published two books: "Forever Young" about life during The X Factor and "Dare to Dream", which tells about success after the show.

The members of One Direction did not participate in the creation of "Up All Night", but for the second album "Take Me Home" they wrote the songs "Back For You", "Summer Love", "Still The One", "Last First Kiss". They were dedicated to teenage love. Later in the interview, Harry Styles said:

"Take Me Home" was released on November 9, 2012 and topped the charts in 35 countries. The most popular hit was "Live While We're Young". The video for this song gained 8.2 million views on YouTube in a day, breaking Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend" record (8 million views). In support of the album, the musicians gave 101 concerts.

On August 30, 2013, the movie "One Direction: This Is Us" was released on the screens of cinemas around the world, which tells the story of the success of the boy band. He became the fourth on the list of grossing film-based biographies. The film announced the imminent release of their third album, Midnight Memories.

In support of the record, on November 23, 2013, the band organized "1D Day". For 7.5 hours, the guys played games with fans, talked with friends from the world of music and raffled off prizes. Two days later, Midnight Memories hit the shelves of record stores. The tracks "Best Song Ever" and "Story of My Life" became popular. Clips were shot for both.

On September 25, 2014, One Direction released their third book, Who We Are, containing rare childhood photos and interesting facts about the band members. The next album in the band's discography was the album "Four", released on November 17, 2014. Its name can be interpreted in different ways: the disc became the fourth in a row, and four people remained in the group - on March 25, 2015, Zayn Malik left One Direction.

A year later, on November 13, the 5th album "Made in the AM" was released, the main single of which was the track "Drag Me Down". Then the group announced a creative break - the members decided to try themselves in a solo career.

One Direction is dedicated not only to music but also to charity. For example, in May 2013, the singers signed a contract to create a branded collection of writing instruments, the proceeds of which were donated to a fund to fight school bullying.

Especially for the charity telethon "Comic Relief", which was created to help the hungry in Ethiopia, the group wrote the song "One Way or Another (Teenage Kicks)", later shot a video for it.

Liam and Harry on social media asked fans to donate funds to Trekstock, a cancer research organization. Instead of the required $ 500 thousand, about $ 785 thousand were collected.

In 2013, One Direction became the largest philanthropist after Taylor Swift.

After announcing a hiatus, the One Direction members dedicated themselves to solo work.

Zayn Malik, who left the band in 2015, released the album "Mind of Mine" and was preparing for the release of the album "Dusk Till Dawn". The song of the same name, co-written with singer Sia, was released on September 7, 2017.

Harry Styles released the 10-song album Sing of the Time on May 12, 2017. In addition, the Briton tried himself as an actor, starring in the film by Christopher Nolan "Dunkirk".

Louis Tomlinson, after the death of his mother in December 2016, released the single "Just Hold On" with DJ Steve Aoki. A joyful event suspended their musical career - on January 21, 2016, Louis and his ex-girlfriend Briana Jungwirth had a son, Freddie Rain Tomlinson. The singer spends his free time with his family.

Niall Horan in November 2017 released his debut album "Flicker", which became the first in the charts in the USA, Canada and Ireland.

Liam Payne has released several singles, including "Strip That Down". The Briton has always gravitated towards hip-hop, and this genre of music is reflected in solo tracks. As for his personal life, since November 2016, Liam has been dating singer Cheryl Cole. On March 22, 2017, the couple had a son, Bear Gray Payne. In 2018, the young people broke up, presumably due to the fact that the singer did not want to marry Cheryl.
