When you’re doing a cover version, why stop at one song when you can do two? In an inspired mashup, and all in the name of charity, 1D threw Blondie’s ode to being a massive stalker and the Undertones’ tale of unrequited love into a pot of pop amazingness and came up with yet another Number 1 single! And who knocked it off the top? Fellow X Factor graduate Olly Murs with Troublemaker! 4: One Way Or Another (Teenage Kicks) 1D slowed things down a bit on this Ed Sheeran-penned number, again making us feel better about our lumpy, bumpy bits, and shoved Robbie Williams’s Candy off Number 1.ĬHART FACT: Little Things beat two very good records to the top spot, leaving Bruno Mars’ Locked Out Of Heaven and Little Mix’s DNA as mere runners-up in its quest for gold. The boys’ third biggest seller was their second chart-topper, coming just over a year after What Makes You Beautiful. The run was broken when follow-up single Midnight Memories reached Number 39. It was almost a fourth Number 1, but Lily Allen had other ideas, and Somewhere Only We Know jumped ahead of One Direction to take the top spot.ĬHART FACT: Story Of My Life was the ninth consecutive Top 10 for the One Direction boys (if we’re talking about official releases). Story Of My Life entered at Number 4 and fell for the first month of its chart story back in November 2013, before leaping back up the Top 10 for an eventual peak of Number 2. 1D were knocked off Number 1 by the one and only Dappy with No Regrets. It’s their top seller and even won a BRIT Award in 2012 for Best British Single – and you can’t argue with gorgeous statuette, can you?ĬHART FACT: What Makes You Beautiful was one of SIX songs to keep Maroon 5‘s Moves Like Jagger off the Number 1 spot. Liam has since said he’s not keen on the song, but I suppose if you’re singing it over and over again you might fancy a change.
It had to be really, didn’t it? The band’s debut single, a super-poppy, riff-heavy romp rubbishing all our silly insecurities went straight in at Number 1, giving Pixie Lott’s All About Tonight a gentle nudge.

We reveal all with a close look at the Top 5, before getting all listical and giving you the full Top 10. Is Best Song Ever their biggest seller ever? Has Gotta Be You gotta be in the Top 10? Has Little Things got big sales? (That’s quite enough of that, thanks. Plans to release their fifth album are still very much on track but before we look to the future, let’s take a look back at the One Direction hits we’ve already enjoyed to see how they measure up against each other. Reports have claimed that the hiatus will last for "a least a year", but then that's what Girls Aloud said, didn't they? If today's confirmation from Louis and Niall is to be believed, the group are absolutely, unequivocally and emphatically not splitting up and are simply taking a break to pursue personal projects. Is it true? Are One Direction really over?
