One Direction have revealed their joy at landing the No. 1 spot on the US Billboard chart with their debut album – something no other UK or Irish band has ever achieved.
It’s fair to say that their success has been somewhat of a whirlwind. They were thrown together on The X Factor less than two years ago when they weren’t good enough to make it as solo artists and One Direction are now the biggest boy-band on the planet.
Harry, Zayn, Niall, Louis and Liam hit the top spot with their debut album Up All Night in the States this week, and the boys, are in shock with the rapid rise to superstardom.
Harry said: "We're just five normal lads from the UK. What has happened to us is incredible. I know it sounds like a massive cliché but it's truly amazing — it's what dreams are made of."
"Just over a year ago we were five boys who didn't know each other. Now we're five best friends and having amazing things happen to us."
And as for how they are going to celebrate? "We'll have a party when we get a chance but first of all we're definitely going to get Simon Cowell to cough up and take us out for dinner in LA."
