Tired of the same old bands?

Then look no further. Already super popular around Europe, 3rd place winners in "The X-Factor'; the UK's version of "American Idol"; British-Irish boyband One Direction are slowly conquering the pop world. With their cheeky boyish charm and irresistible accents, it's no wonder Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, and Zayn Malik are already spreading like wildfire across the world. All the boys come from different parts of the UK, but Niall Horan is originally from Mullingar in Ireland.

The boys are known most for their covers  of songs on the X-Factor, such as "Forever Young" (originally sung by Jay-Z), and "Viva La Vida"by Coldplay. Their first single by the name of "What Makes You Beautiful" is already topping the charts in England. These One Direction boys are surely going places this year if their fame keeps up at this rate; they're just taking it one day at a time.
