Artists of the Year - One Direction

One Direction

2013 was a year for the boys of One Direction to kick things into high gear! They released their third album called Midnight Memories and had their highest first week sales with over 500,000 copies sold. All of their videos on YouTube have over 100 Million views and they dominated at the fan voted American Music Awards winning in all of the Favorite Pop Group categories. 

But the most exciting way to see these boys in 2013 was in 3D on the big screen! They released a movie called This Is Us that told the whole story from the beginning how they got 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 movie took us behind the scenes and we saw them in rehearsals, in the recording studio and even at home with their families and friends. And of course, they sang all of their hits!
