M A M A 3,133 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 One Direction have set a new world record after their first three albums debuted at number one in the US. The band’s success in the US means they have earned a spot in the Guinness World Records 2015 book. They are the only UK group in US chart history to top the chart with their first three releases, and made the announcement to their fans on stage at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey last month. Niall Horan said: “This really is one of our proudest moments, both for us and our incredible fans. Whenever we talk about it we always say how cool it is that we did it first, how sick is that?!†The X Factor group first topped the US chart in 2012 with their debut album Up All Night, and scored their second number one later in the year with follow-up Take Me Home. Their latest album, Midnight Memories, topped the Billboard 200 last December, and went on to sell over one million copies in five weeks. The Guinness World Records 2015 book will be released next Thursday (September 11). source ----- Tbh, I've been following them since 2011. I never thought they'd be this be this successful back then. They proved me wrong. Congrats boys .... Keep breakin' more records - If this was posted before then I will ask mod to close it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doinhulon 1 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Do you know how many albums they have sold in total? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
...... 3,962 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 i can't dislike 1D.... as individual guys they seem alright (although i'm not too keen on Liam)... i mean especially when comparing them to other artists of similar age who have had similar levels of success and inflated egos to match.... i also think they've been handled well musically... their longevity was questionable early on...but they made a basically flawless transition from strictly teenage girl fodder to non-bubble demo relevance with one or two well timed well produced songs. i always tip my hat to their success.

So its around 15 mil. its from wiki lol, they count US, UK sales then WW sales, Idk if WW sales include UK&US sales, I cant find another source rn sorry i can't dislike 1D.... as individual guys they seem alright (although i'm not too keen on Liam)... i mean especially when comparing them to other artists of similar age who have had similar levels of success and inflated egos to match.... i also think they've been handled well musically... their longevity was questionable early on...but they made a basically flawless transition from strictly teenage girl fodder to non-bubble demo relevance with one or two well timed well produced songs. i always tip my hat to their success. Yeah I hope they keep on giving good music. I like most of their songs. I still remember their moments on X factor and their dairy videos , it was so fun. I really like them.

imcoral 177 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 1D has worked/earned/traveled more these past four years than I probably will in my lifetime. Even if you hate their music or crazy fanbase, you gotta give them some credit as normal lads (excl. Louis, maybe). Yeah I hope they keep on giving good music.
