2012 is definitely the Year of the Boy Band. Indeed, the boy band phenomena is making a major comeback on the music scene. But the biggest wave must come from One Direction. This British-Irish boy band consists of Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn Malik and Niall Horan, and is signed to Simon Cowell’s record label, Syco Records.
They found fame after finishing third in another hit reality show, The X-Factor. In fact, the group was formed after each of the band members had applied unsuccessfully as solo acts for the “boys” category of the singing contest. It was judge, Nicole Scherzinger, who suggested they form a band, and together as One Direction, they qualified for the “group” category.
With their sunny good looks, strong vocals, and undeniable stage presence, One Direction has captured the attention and hearts of millions of fans the world over. Their debut single, “What Makes You Beautiful” went straight to number one on the music charts. For now it seems, One Direction is here to stay, and the only direction they are headed is up, as they are poised to rise even beyond the superstardom of earlier boy-band sensations like Westlife and Boyzone.
