Story of One Direction

The history of One Direction







Who doesn't know One Direction (1D) ?

I thought everyone knows them well. They are become the most famous Boy Band in the world now.


Here is the short story about how they were become 1D

In 2010, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, and Louis Tomlinson auditioned as solo candidates for the seventh series of the British televised singing competition The X Factor but they failed to progress to the "Boys" category at "judges' houses" but were put together to form a five-piece boy band in July 2010, Styles came up with the name One Direction. Their first song as a group, One Direction sang an acoustic version of "Torn".Simon Cowell later commented that their performance convinced him that they "were confident, fun, like a gang of friends, and kind of fearless as well." Within the first four weeks of the live shows, they were his last act in the competition.The group quickly gained popularity in the UK.

One Direction finished in third place and immediately after the final, their song "Forever Young", which would have been released if they had won The X Factor, was leaked onto the internet.[14] Shortly afterwards it was confirmed that One Direction had been signed by Cowell to a reported £2 million Syco Recordsrecord contract. Recording for their debut album began in January 2011, as they flew to Los Angeles to work with RedOne, a record producer. A book licensed by One Direction, One Direction: Forever Young (Our Official X Factor Story), was published by HarperCollins in February 2011, subsequently topping The Sunday Times Best Seller list.
