However, the boy band sensation is garnering attention for more than their tunes. This even beats out music icons such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Bee Gees, The Sex Pistols, Oasis and Radiohead. Their debut album, Up All Night boasted 176,000 CD sales in its first week, the first accomplishment of this kind to be achieved by any British band. Move over Justin Bieber, it looks like there's some competition for pre-teen female affections. The five-piece music group, a result of Simon Cowell's creation, became the first British band to debut at No.
One of the latest sensations to bring the classic boy-band trend back, One Direction, has taken the pop world by storm.
