The boys’ enticing desirability has spawned millions of fan-girl Twitter accounts, thousands of dedicated fan-sites, entire tours sold out in 12 minutes, mass-produced replica 1D dolls and one of the largest and most dedicated fandoms, consisting of hundreds of millions of ‘Directioners’ worldwide. Even their concerts have a honest quality about them, with minimal choreography and production, each concert is original and holds spontaneous quirks only ever experienced by the crowd in the stands at that time- making it all feel more personal and unique for every fan. The boys are known for cracking dirty jokes during their interviews or highlighting their fake interband relationships such as the famous Larry Stylinson, Louis and Harry’s couple name, they reveal the attitudes of any five normal teenage boys – unchanged by fame. The way they disregard their production team to remain who they are, teenage boys that is, with constant mischief. They don’t try to hide their immaturity and irresponsibility, and aren’t working to uphold that fake innocence and “picture perfect image” most teen bands are pressured to maintain. The boys are also open about everything to their fans, nearly. When fans listen to the music, they think of the boys, their jokes, their laughter, their smiles: the true trick to winning a fan’s heart. The charm of their music may be slightly attributed to the images that come to mind, when it is heard. Their attitudes and down-right crazy antics of their latest video diary still match those found sitting in a poorly-lit stairwell of “1D Video Diary X-Factor Week One.” The boys have done a remarkable job of remaining unchanged by their recent super-fame. You get attached to Liam’s humility, Harry’s charm, Zayn’s mystique, Niall’s constant laughter and Louis’ adorable, unpredictable humor. Their diaries have morphed into homemade game shows such as ‘ Megamind’ and ‘Spin the Harry,’ created by the band as new ways to answer fan questions as well as bizarre intricate plotlines and short films to entertain their fans. These diaries have continued throughout the band’s journey, made and filmed completely by the boys themselves. The band is famed for their Video Diaries that dominate the “Youtube” search bar, which they started in their first week together on the X-Factor. Their connection to their fans and their relatability is the real fuel behind the 1D frenzy, not to mention their notable good-looks. The music feels genuine, which results from both the strong sense of friendship fans feel they hold with bandmates as well as a non-existent auto-tune.īut is it just their music that has earned them the title ‘biggest boy band in the world?’ Or featured them in Rolling Stone Magazine? Or landed them their recent performance on “Saturday Night Live”? One Direction’s true hook is the boys themselves. Their three music videos, “ What Makes You Beautiful,” “Gotta Be You” and “One Thing” have nearly 200 million views, collectively, on “Youtube” thus far.Whether the song is intimate, quick or danceable, the entire album remains light-hearted and sweet. The boys have also just recently announced, in their beloved mix of British and Irish accents, a 2013 United States arena tour which will be making a stop at the Sprint Center on July 19. The single from their album and most widely known in the United States, thanks to its new-found radio play “What Makes You Beautiful,” won the boys a 2012 Brit (the UK equivalent of a Grammy) for Best British Single. Unlike other boy bands of the past, even their more delicate tracks still bring smiles to listeners’ faces with their beauty rather than the looming pathetic and sappy feel brought on by similar songs.

The day after their elimination Simon Cowell broke his own promise to only sign the “X-Factor” winner, and signed the boys to his record company, Syco Records.“Up All Night” consists of an even blend between catchy pop dance tunes and slower purer ballads. The stage as a single vocal group: One Direction.The guys proved their talent and sang their way to the final three before their elimination as a band.
