One Direction

One Direction is regarded as the rising star of boy bands and the face of the "British Wave" in the United States. According to the group's management organization, the group has sold 8 million album copies and 14 million singles globally. Billboard magazine voted One Direction "Best New Artist 2012," and The Huffington Post dubbed 2012 "The Year of One Direction." The group has 37.5 million YouTube subscribers. This is a large number for a music ensemble.

Despite not winning the X Factor, One Direction has won the hearts of countless fans worldwide. Harry Styles created the moniker "One Direction" with the simple goal of sounding terrific when sung on stage. After only a few years of existence, this group has not only gained popularity in the United Kingdom and Europe but has also won the hearts of American youth.

The group is regarded as the spiritual successor to the craze initiated by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones many years ago. Despite the fact that there are currently only four members, One Direction's fame and influence are enormous.
