I still thought they'd have been nominated for at least one. Even the Brits made up an award for them!

One Direction's Midnight Memories has been named the world's best-selling album of 2013, after shifting a staggering four million copies in just SIX WEEKS!

And thanks to the boys, it looks like British music is basically taking over the world, as one in eight albums sold in the world is now by a UK artist.

Go, 1D!

 

According the British Phonographic Institute (BPI), the boys were firmly in first place on the global sales chart, followed by rapper Eminem in second place.

Not only that, but this is the sixth time in seven years that an artist from the UK has topped the chart... proving what a blimmin' talented lot we all are.

And the British takeover doesn't stop there, as Robbie Williams' Swing Both Ways came in at number 18 and David Bowie's comeback The Next Day was in 35th place, with Mumford and Sons and Adele both doing pretty darn well too.

 

BPI spokesman Gennaro Castaldo said: "For home-grown talent to have recorded the world's biggest-selling album six out of the last seven years is a phenomenal achievement that says a great deal about the popularity of British music around the world.

"Aside from the obvious contribution to British exports, this success underlines the vital role our music and artists play in promoting the appeal of British culture around the world."

A lovely, albeit short megamix of their singles. Guess which one was left out? :kink:

:lol:

 

I love that, great megamix! Would love to hear a more professional one a la Girls Aloud/The Saturdays' ones when their GHs got released.

One Directioners in East Kilbride could be in for the best night ever when a Glasgwegian tribute to the world’s biggest boy band comes to town.

 

One and Only Direction are set to perform at the Village Theatre on Saturday, September 13.

 

And the boys promise to deliver pop mega stars’ One Direction’s greatest hits at the gig.

 

The group were formed earlier this year by Lanarkshire man Scott Garvie (29), who runs a tribute act agency.

 

It took him around a year to select the guys who make up the tribute act, as he wanted a band who looked as close to the real group as possible.

 

However, he got more than he bargained for earlier this year, when two of the quintet – Richard Dickson and Liam Fergusson, who are Harry Styles and Niall Horan in the tribute act – were mistaken for the real deal when One Direction played at Murrayfield.

 

Scott said: “A lot of people thought this was a publicity stunt, but Richard and Liam really had just bought tickets to go and enjoy the show.

 

“They were being asked for pictures by girls before they went in, and it was just chaos when they went into the actual stadium – girls really thought they were the real One Direction and everything started kicking off. They were swamped. Security ended up taking them away because of how wild it was getting.”

 

Scott reckons One and Only Direction are as close to the real band as possible. He added: “They’re great lookalikes, but they can sing really well too, and hit all the harmonies required.

 

“Ever since we put them together they’ve got on really well, and that comes across when you see them perform. The reaction so far has been great.”

 

Tickets for the gig are priced at £12/£10 and £15 for a meet and greet with the boys backstage.

According to my timehop app it's 4 years ago today that they showed the forming of One Direction at X Factor Bootcamp.

Wow :o 4 years of One Direction then! (I know the actual date was a couple of months ago but 4 years since we knew of them :kink:)

 

Feels weird that they all auditioned as solo acts and kinda got put together on a whim :lol:

4 years since I thought "well they seem a bit crap, maybe Belle Amie have some potential" :o :P

 

They've come along way since those X Factor days!
