One Direction, also known as 1D, is an English-Irish pop boy band formed in London after finishing third in the hit singing competition, The X Factor, back in 2010. Initially composed of five members Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik, they released their debut studio album Up All Night, which was an international success and even became the UK’s fastest-selling album of 2011. As of 2020, the band has sold a whopping 70 million records worldwide, easily making them one of the best-selling boy bands of all time.
