One Direction
@onedirection
Your reaction to #1DHistory has been INCREDIBLE! The guys have decided to change it to the new single from #MadeInTheAM!

Posted by: Maurice Horan Nov 26 2015, 06:42 PM

I'm glad we get another single but what a shame it isn't What a Feeling/Love You Goodbye or History.

Posted by: AdamAloud Nov 26 2015, 06:49 PM

DISASTER

Posted by: Jaÿ Nov 26 2015, 07:19 PM

I'm pleased they're doing another single for the album *please let be there be a CD single*.

As for the choice, it's a nice one, not my top choice but it's far from being the worst.

Posted by: J▲hq Nov 26 2015, 07:54 PM

Love it as a song But it's the first ballad they've had as single #3, I'd have perhaps gone with "History".

Posted by: Maurice Horan Nov 27 2015, 01:04 PM

I guess they perform this at the X Factor final, now this performance is confirmed.

Posted by: Jimmy Jam Nov 27 2015, 01:49 PM

YAAAAAS! Personally would have gone for History or What A Feeling, but psyched we get another single. Stripped back/Acapella version on the ep pls

Slay, my princes

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE Dec 14 2015, 03:32 PM

(EDIT: single choice changed to History)

Confirmed by the boys themselves.

Posted by: JosephCarey Dec 14 2015, 03:47 PM

A wise decision I think, I love Infinity but History has had a MUCH bigger boost!

Posted by: Maurince Pie Dec 14 2015, 04:00 PM

Great choice it's no.3 on UK iTunes already.

Posted by: JosephCarey Dec 14 2015, 04:40 PM

Also: you know the world is going mad when Louis has the best part of a 1D song

Posted by: *Callum™ Dec 14 2015, 04:55 PM

so happy this is their final single before the (hopefully short) hiatus. i can't help thinking that what a feeling / love you goodbye / never enough would've been amazing singles too, though.

but this is infinitely better than infinity

Posted by: Jimmy Jam Dec 15 2015, 12:12 AM

As much as I wanted What A Feeling to be a song, this one is perfect to mark their hiatus i think, so yaaaaaaas

Posted by: mr_pmt Dec 16 2015, 04:23 PM

It's a better choice than 'Infinity', that is seriously bland.

I'm actually in love with 'Never Enough' though, I can't help wishing that had been it instead.

Posted by: JosephCarey Dec 18 2015, 07:36 PM

Re-enters the official top 40 at #11 today, with top 10 next week looking very likely!

Posted by: Rossco Dec 20 2015, 04:17 PM

Are we getting a video for this?

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE Dec 20 2015, 05:23 PM

What about the filmed 'Infinity' video?

I assume if we do get a video, it'll be a montage thing.

Posted by: Maurince Pie Dec 20 2015, 09:10 PM

Yeh we most definitely get a montage video.

Posted by: JosephCarey Dec 28 2015, 01:32 PM

Up to #8 in the Christmas UK chart, becoming their 15th UK top 10 out of 17 singles! You & I made the top 20 too so only Midnight Memories missed the top 20 (#39 )

Posted by: Jimmy Jam Dec 29 2015, 12:32 AM

Amazing! So proud of them! Didn't More than this flop in at 80 something?

Posted by: JosephCarey Dec 29 2015, 12:38 AM

#86 but that didn't get a push in the UK, it was only released in Australia!

Posted by: Jimmy Jam Dec 29 2015, 01:04 AM

such a shame

Posted by: JosephCarey Dec 29 2015, 01:09 AM

Australia got to skip Gotta Be You lucky people :') their singles went WMYB -> One Thing -> More Than This!

Posted by: Jimmy Jam Dec 29 2015, 01:11 AM

I hope they know how blessed they were

Posted by: Jimmy Jam Jan 1 2016, 05:33 PM

Only up to 7 this week, have to say I'm a little surprised, thought this was a cert top 5 this week...

EDIT: although having said that the album has jumped back up to number 5, so i suspect many people bought the album rather than the individual track

Posted by: JosephMendes Jan 1 2016, 05:44 PM

I think it can make the top 5 next week! Time will tell of course though. This week's chart feels a little bit off to me, think some data is missing.

Posted by: Jimmy Jam Jan 1 2016, 05:52 PM

Yeah, it would appear so. Hopefully next week will see it jump up a little more. I would like to think it could maybe go number 1, but the way beibs is ruling the charts atm, I don't think anyone else will get a look in

Posted by: pippa Jan 4 2016, 02:35 PM

History looks likely to have a good steady chart run and build up some attractive sales.

Posted by: Andr00w Jan 20 2016, 07:00 PM

I like this but it's very similar to 'Whole Lotta History' by Girls Aloud but that's one of my favourites of their's so not a bad thing!

Posted by: JosephMendes Jan 20 2016, 07:04 PM

Are they even that similar aside from the title?

Posted by: FreezeTimeAdam❄️ Jan 20 2016, 07:05 PM

I heard this on the radio today and it's not bad much better than most of their recent singles.

Posted by: Rafael x Jan 20 2016, 11:43 PM

It will never hit #3, we need that video and try to hit #1!

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE Jan 21 2016, 12:47 AM

The only similarities to WLH is the fact they say it...

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE Jan 21 2016, 12:55 AM

Is there even a video planned?

Posted by: Jimmy Jam Jan 21 2016, 06:04 AM

I've been waiting, and praying for a video forever, there better be!!

Although the more I think about it, the more I doubt we'll get one. Harry, Louis, and Liam are all off in LA atm, the hiatus is well underway, and there have been no signs they've already filmed one

Posted by: Maurice Jan 21 2016, 07:23 AM

Liam is in London, Niall is in LA though .
Nah I don't think there will be a video as they did a last minut change when the hiatus already started, there are pictures of them recording a video for Perfect. Clips of that video where shown on screen on their last X Factor performance. It's still doing brilliant on ITunes even without promotion. Wonder what it would have done with promotion.

Posted by: Jimmy Jam Jan 21 2016, 07:30 AM

OOPS! I done messed up

It's a shame, because I think it might have pushed for number 1 with some promo. But tbh top 5, without promo would still be amazing, so it's nice to see them break on a high

Posted by: JosephMendes Jan 25 2016, 03:35 PM

Music video dropping TODAY and Simon has said it's "emotional"

Posted by: Maurice Jan 25 2016, 03:52 PM

Is it official confirmed as today?

Posted by: J▲hq Jan 25 2016, 04:07 PM

Not officially confirmed

edit:it's now officially confirmed

Posted by: Maurice Jan 25 2016, 04:18 PM

I don't see anything on the official 1D twitter account.

Posted by: Jimmy Jam Jan 25 2016, 04:41 PM

OMFG!!!!!

Posted by: Jimmy Jam Jan 26 2016, 08:08 AM

Waiting for this video to drop like

Posted by: Maurice Jan 26 2016, 08:23 AM

Of course the LM video will be out first as it has more priority.

Posted by: pippa Jan 26 2016, 11:56 AM

A video should give this a good sales boost. Its having a wonderful chart run and indicates its a song that is appealing to people who may not always buy their singles. History will likely result in one of their biggest selling singles.

Posted by: Maurice Jan 26 2016, 04:26 PM

What an amazing video!

Posted by: JosephMendes Jan 26 2016, 04:28 PM

Amazing video, very simple of course but so powerful

Posted by: Jimmy Jam Jan 26 2016, 05:45 PM

I was ready to be all: FINALLY!

But OMG. My heart was so not ready oh lord I feel so emotional, especially during the third verse (SPOILER) and lou was singing with the montage of their music videos playing "this is not the end, this is not the end"

I can't. Also that clip where Louis falls over, so they all fall over is one of my favorite moments in life

Posted by: JosephMendes Jan 26 2016, 07:08 PM

^ popped up on a reliable blog. Not sure if it's fanmade but it normally specifies that in the URL, it doesn't this time. Cheap looking but I think it's probably official (hope so, any artwork is better than nothing! )

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE Jan 26 2016, 08:00 PM

Why are they carrying on like their splitting for good? If the rumored hiatus is true they'll be together again by next June....

Posted by: JosephMendes Jan 26 2016, 09:09 PM

They aren't carrying on like they're splitting for good.

The above History artwork was posted on their FB page so I've added it to the gallery

Posted by: Jonjo Jan 26 2016, 09:13 PM

The video was boring. Until the very end. The part where they all split and go in two different directions was actually really powerful and moving! I get the sentiments behind it though and understand that it's the hiatus of the world's biggest group etc... but it still doesn't mean it's boring. Even if it was pretty much what I expected from it.

Posted by: Acidburn Jan 26 2016, 09:50 PM

I really liked this video and glad we finally got one, plus Niall looks great with glasses and infact liked the casual look on them all.

Posted by: Jimmy Jam Jan 27 2016, 12:37 PM

The artwork is kind of boring, but nothing terrible. I'm still getting the feels from the video

Posted by: JosephStyles Feb 24 2017, 12:40 AM

The music video for this has won Best British Video at the BRITs 2017!

I've always loved history but its not hugely popular.

Posted by: JosephStyles May 18 2020, 06:03 PM

With who? It's their 2nd biggest hit
