'''One Direction''', also referred to as '''1D''', was an [[England|English]]-[[Republic of Ireland|Irish]] [[Pop music|pop]] [[boy band]]. It began with [[Louis Tomlinson]] (born 1991), [[Zayn Malik]] (born 1993), [[Liam Payne]] (1993–2024), [[Niall Horan]] (born 1993) and [[Harry Styles]] (born 1994). They finished third on the seventh series of ''[[The X Factor (UK)|The X Factor]]''. They each auditioned for ''The X Factor'' separately. [[Nicole Scherzinger]] put them together in 2010 because she thought they were too good to lose. Their fans are called "Directioners."
== Career ==
"What Makes You Beautiful" was One Direction's first single. After being signed to [[Syco Music]], the group recorded their first album ''[[Up All Night]]''. Hits on the album include "One Thing" and "Gotta Be You." It was third in the charts. They have been very successful since. They tour to places around the world such as Europe, Australia, Asia, and the Americas.

The group released a second album in November 2012, called ''[[Take Me Home]]''. It includes the singles "Little Things", "Live While We're Young" and "Kiss You". The group released their third album, ''[[Midnight Memories]]'', in late November 2013. It includes the singles "Story of My Life", "Best Song Ever", "Midnight Memories", and "You & I" Their fourth album, ''[[Four (One Direction album)|Four]]'', was released in November 2014. This album includes the singles "Steal My Girl" and "Night Changes". Their fifth album, ''[[Made in the A.M.]]'', was released in November 2015. It includes the singles "Drag Me Down", "Perfect" and "History".

On 29 August 2013, their movie ''This Is Us'' was released.

In April 2014, One Direction started their stadium world tour titled "Where We Are." [[5 Seconds of Summer]] opened for them during the tour.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.onebigannouncement.com/ |title=One Direction - On The Road Again Tour 2015 - ON SALE NOW!|work=One Direction|accessdate=15 March 2016}}</ref>

On 25 March 2015, Zayn Malik left the band.

In January 2016, the band said they would be taking a temporary break. It was expected to last around 18 months, but due to the members pursuing solo careers, they were to reunite later than promised.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Louis Tomlinson Reveals How Long One Direction’s Hiatus Will Last|url = http://www.radioone.fm/?news=louis-tomlinson-reveals-how-long-one-directions-hiatus-will-last|website = Radio One|accessdate = 17 December 2015|archive-date = 22 December 2015|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20151222113705/http://www.radioone.fm/?news=louis-tomlinson-reveals-how-long-one-directions-hiatus-will-last|url-status = dead}}</ref><ref name="2016break">{{cite web | url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/6806071/one-direction-x-factor-infinity-history-video-fans | title=One Direction Makes Final 'X Factor' Appearance Before Hiatus, Thanks Fans in New Video | work=Billboard | date=13 December 2015 | accessdate=13 December 2015}}</ref>
