Following the success of JLS and Wanted, the One Direction contestants of X-Factor became the next group of heartthrobs to help revive the concept of a boy band. The quintet outstripped all of its contemporaries, becoming the biggest boy band ever since Take That, selling millions of albums and singles, filling stadiums and making movies, all while reaching number one several times around the world with undeniably crooked songs and plenty of boy-next-door charm.
One Direction released their first single, "What Makes You Beautiful," in late 2011. The full-length album Up All Night followed soon after. In 2012, One Direction became the first British band to debut on top of the Billboard 200 list. In late 2012, One Direction released their sophomore album, Take Me Home. The group toured the world for most of 2013 & 2014, but still found time to record their third and fourth albums. In 2015, Zayn Malik quit the band to pursue a solo carrier & the remaining four continued to perform together; releasing "Drag Me Down," the first single from their fifth album, Made in the A.M. The band has been on hiatus since 2015. As of 2020, the band released β10 years of One Directionβ website where remastered 4K versions of their past music videos and a concert videos were released daily in July 2020.
