“Our fans are simply the best in the world. The
support they have shown us has been incredible and we’re all so grateful to
each and every one of them. We can’t wait to see everyone this summer, at
Madison Square Garden and of course when we play our world tour in 2013”. Niall
Horan.
One Direction gained notoriety in 2010 after appearing on
the X-Factor UK. Their global smash debut album, Up All Night, entered the charts at #1 in 14
countries and has been certified triple platinum in Ireland, double
platinum in the UK & Australia, and platinum in New Zealand. One
Direction made history as their debut album Up All Night
entered the US Billboard 200 chart at #1 with over 176,000 copies sold making
them the first British group ever to debut at #1 in the US with their debut
album release. Their debut single “What Makes You Beautiful” has recently been
certified platinum in the US for sales in excess of 1,000,000 units.
The Up All Night: The Live Tour DVD will be available on May
2012. The live DVD features a 73 minute concert of their hit songs, plus never
before seen, behind the scenes footage and three music videos (“What Makes
You Beautiful,” “Gotta Be You” and “One Thing.”
One Direction are Niall Horan, Zayn
Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson. All of the group hail from
the U.K., save for Horan, who is from Ireland. All five of the boys (ages
18-20) auditioned for the UK X Factor in 2010 as solo artists. However, at the
suggestion of Simon Cowell they joined forces as a group, quickly becoming one
of the competitions most popular acts of all time, finishing in the final three
and garnering a gigantic fan-base along the way.
Up All Night debut album
is available now in music stores nationwide, from Ivory Music & Video, the
exclusive licensee of Sony Music in the Philippines. You can also get it at www.mymusicstore.com.ph
