They finished third place in 2010's X-Factor and are being primed for huge success. "What Makes You Beautiful" comes out September 11.

Really like them as a band!!! They are fun! The song sounds really good but I have to say that I was hoping for something more grown up.. But still... I think it´s for sure gonna smash in England and maybe Europe or even US.. But definitely England:)

Apparently "What Makes You Beautiful" has broken the record for the highest number of pre-orders in Sony's history! :o

Here's a clip of the B-Side that comes with it:
Their music is like ear candy. lol I'm really enjoying it though. "What Makes You Beautiful" was my #1 song of the week on Last.fm.

Does anyone know who produced What Makes You Beautiful. It sounds similar to Dynamite. I wonder how their presence is going to affect The Wanted? I hope both groups can continue to do well, love them both.

I really like "What Makes You Beautiful" now. It's one of those cases where listening to it through headphones makes it better. It sounds slightly darker and the beat really stands out. Do you know the previous record? I don't. The article about it was poorly written and I don't know how accurate pre-order numbers are anyway. It might just be a puff piece direct from Simon. It doesn't specify anything... it makes it sound like it's a worldwide all music record, but if anything I imagine it's a digital singles in the UK on that label record, which is still impressive, but nowhere near as good as they made it sound.

Good lord "What Makes You Beautiful" is such an ear-worm! Who produced it, it sounds sort of like the Glee song "Light Up the World". Are they going to release in the US because I think they could legitimately be huge. Also, how old are they? The one with the spiky hair is cute.

Says it was written and produced by Savan Kotecha, who did Brit's I Wanna Go and If U Seek Amy, DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love, Lambert's If I Had You, and a bunch of songs for Westlife, JLS, and Leona Lewis.

The single got a review in this week's Entertainment Weekly. --- And you thought boy bands were dead. This shallow but crushworthy love ditty from the British-Irish fivesome-top 10 finishers on England's X Factor last fall-shows the genre still has a (dreamily coiffed) pulse. B+---

Zayn Malik is so fukkin' hot. I checked and he's 18. So, we cool. P.S. -- "What Makes You Beautiful" is amazingly catchy. Love.

I've just realised the guitars in "What Makes You Beautiful" remind me of the melody in "Wannabe". I'd like to think this is an intentional sign that they're going to be to boybands what the Spice Girls were to girlbands.

I think I might like Na Na Na a little bit more. They are both great songs though~ catchy as hell too. Definitely need them to come to the US.

Simon Cowell in bid to help One Direction break the US market Sep 17 2011 Bev Lyons & Clemmie
Well, this is going to be just about the shortest celebration in pop history. No sooner will the bubbly be fizzing in the One Direction boys' glasses (not your's, Harry - lemonade for you), they'll be setting them back down and flying off to conquer the States. I'll toast that - but they wont be able to over there. None of them is over the legal drinking age of 21. The boys are on course to be number one tomorrow by a clear mile with their single What Makes You Beautiful selling more than 100,000 in just three days. But after a quick slap on each other's pretty little backs, they'll be back to the grindstone to shoot their new video in New York and meet the American record labels big boss Simon Cowell is setting them up with. A source said: "Simon wants the boys to strike while the iron's hot. They've completely blown away all expectations with their debut single but he's not letting them take their foot off the pedal and enjoy their successes just yet. "He's got a few major American labels lined up to meet the boys when they fly out to New York on Tuesday." The band haven't announced their second single yet but they have said they're working with singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran and are now confirmed to be writing with Scouting For Girls frontman Roy Stride. Kelly Rowland has also given them her favourite producer, Alex Gaudino. But teen heart-throbs Liam Payne, Niall Horan, and Zayn Malik, all 18, Harry Styles, 17, and 19-year-old Louis Tomlinson, right, are already looking to conquer the world. The source added: "Simon doesn't always take his artists to the US, but he really thinks One Direction have a shot. He's lining them up for a coveted appearance on the US X Factor to really kick start them off." Under Simon's guidance, Leona Lewis signed to J and British woman charts in 20 years, signed to Jive Alexandra Burke to Epic. d became the first to top the Billboard ars, while JLS Jive and rke signed Now he has the X Factor USA to his British talents. he benefit of o showcase nts. So boys, try not nursing too much a hangover when you meet the bigwigs. (Sorry, Harry.) ot to be ch of hen he ry,

It ended up debuting at #3. They must have expected a LOT better with X Factor, their fanbase and coming off the fasted selling single of the year.

I really didn't want to like the album, but it's really solid. Especially for a reality show contestant's first album.

The album debuted at number two behind Rihanna. It sold 138,000 first week.
The next single is "One Thing". They shot the video in Trafalgar Square yesterday, causing it to trend on Twitter. I much prefer "One Thing" to "Gotta Be You" but don't like it as much "What Makes You Beautiful".
