Biography

London, United Kingdom (2010 – present)

There are two bands under the name One Direction

1. One Direction is a well known boy band from the United Kingdom

2. One Direction is a pop punk band of the United States

1. One Direction is a five-member boy band made up of Liam Payne (born 29 August 1993) from Wolverhampton, Louis Tomlinson (born 24 December 1991) from Doncaster, Niall Horan (born 13th September 1993) from Mullingar, Westmeath, Ireland, Harry Styles, (born 1 February 1994) from Holmes Chapel, Cheshire and Zayn Malik, (born 12 January 1993) from East Bowling, Bradford. They applied as solo candidates on the 2010 edition of the X Factor, but the judges, after a suggestion by Simon Cowell, put them in a band in London, UK; therefore qualifying for the Groups category.

One Direction’s first single, What Makes You Beautiful, received its first airplay on August 10, 2011 and was released a month later on September 11, 2011. It was the fastest selling single of the year 2011 and peaked at #1 on the UK Singles Chart. The boys released their second single Gotta Be You on November 13th peaking at #3 on the UK Singles Chart. Their album Up All Night followed on November 21st reaching #2 on the UK Albums Chart, narrowly missing out on #1 to Rihanna. When their album Up All Night was released in the USA, it debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts, setting the record for the highest-selling debut album by a British boy band.

Tickets for their first headlining UK tour went on sale October 1st 2011 and all 22 dates sold out within 12 minutes.

    I'm brazilian and I find it so annoying. "Brazil is the favorite country of all the artists" REALLY? No one gives a shit about us. They only come to Brazil after going to the United States,Europe, and sometimes even Australia and Japan. And I'm not only talking about 1D, its about ALL the worldwide famous bands.We are not "better" than the other fans.I think this is selfish.Yes thats true artists say "they love brazil/brazilian fans" But They also love American Fans,Asian fans,Europe fans,etc..It depends where they are, and its not about the "love" its about the MONEY! Or do you really think they have time to "meet the awesome fans" when the only thing they can do is SCREAMING IN THEIR FACES?? Of course they will "love you" just because you spent hundreads in a ticket for the concert.I would love you too if you made me rich,duh. And when people say "Brazilians are so full of themselves but they aren't big shit" I can't do nothing but agree with them.

    ''We didn't start the teasing. You folks started flaming shoutboxes with shouts in Portuguese, which is extremely annoying.'' And just because we are posting stuff in portuguese it gives you reason to hate us? If it is annoying you, just ignore or ask gently that we stop. No need to be rude.

    "GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYS" Well, so are Limp Wrist, Darby Crash from The Germs (RIP), Freddy Mercury, Rob Halford and Gary Floyd from Dicks. Even Phil Anselmo from Pantera is considered an ex-gay. I see no point in coming up with one's sexuality when it comes to the quality of music. By the way I'm not any but I'd rather be gay than christian.

    "you start teasing the brazilians first" We didn't start the teasing. You folks started flaming shoutboxes with shouts in Portuguese, which is extremely annoying.
