One Direction
2012 will be remembered as the return of the Boy Bands. Leading the charge was the group that was actually put together after the five guys auditioned individually for the British version of X-Factor in 2010. They were all being eliminated, but Simon Cowell offered them a second chance if they joined forces and formed the Boy Band, One Direction.They immediately became a huge success in Britain and it was just a matter of time before they caught on over here.
The first song to start getting airplay here in the United States was What Makes You Beautiful. It delivers everything you want to hear from five cute young guys singing to you and its all done to a catchy great beat.
The stats about these guys are astounding. Their videos on YouTube have had over 300 Million views!!! Most artists are lucky to get to 1 Million!
They released two albums this year and both of them have gone platinum. Up All Night came out in March and has the singles What Makes You Beautiful and One Thing. Then less than a year later in November they released Take Me Home that has the hits Live While We're Young and Little Things.
They completely dominated at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards winning Best New Artist as well as Best Pop Video and Billboard Magazine named them the top New Artist of the Year.
