Harry Styles, Zayn Mali k, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne & Niall Horan may have had just about had the biggest decade out of anyone on this planet, forming into One Direction through The X Factor. Fans of the History stars were quick to comment on the tweet and a lot of them were (unsurprisingly) not OK after finding this out. One Direction was formed on The X Factor back in July 2010, making this year their 10-year anniversary. A Directioner took to Twitter to announce that Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Zayn Malik have now been solo artists for a longer period of time than they have been a band (brb, crying). As for Harry's latest album, it immediately hit No. They'd go on to become one of young Hollywood's most popular couples, even posing for their own Vogue cover together. Dec. 7, 2016: Louiss mother Johannah Deakin dies after battling leukemia. The band then announced they would be taking an 18-month hiatus, which turned out to be almost 5 years. Nov. 8, 2017: Harry releases the music video for "Kiwi." Later that day, Harry appeared in a dramatic commercial that teased (what we hope is) an instrumental preview of his first solo song! It's your responsibility to keep things settled and happy, so you make the best of everything. Sept. 7, 2017: Zayn releases the song and music video Dusk Till Dawn, featuring Sia. Zayn, Liam and Louis have also become fathers. Since Mind of Mine, Malik has collaborated with Taylor Swift, PartyNextDoor and Sia, each of whom has allowed him to flex his falsetto, as well as try out different sounds, like the tropical vibe on the PND team-up Still Got Time. His most recent release Dusk Til Dawn (with Sia) has a building melody and booming chorus that makes for perhaps Maliks most dynamic release yet, also further showing that pop-influenced R&B is where his voice was meant to be from the start. RT @reviewjournal: It was an ear-piercing experience in June 2012, when One Direction was the hottest boy band in the land. Can you even? "FOUR," the album named appropriately for how many they have, became their fourth record to top the Billboard 200 Chart, following "Up All Night," "Take Me Home," and "Midnight Memories." Also on Nov. 8, Niall performed "Seeing Blind" at the CMA Awards with country singer Maren Morris. I think it would be the best thing, he explained, noting that all of his former bandmates have discussed a comeback mission and have said it outside, but weve just not said it to each other. He joked, theres a song in there somewhere.
In 2010's The X Factor, One Direction was formed by Simon Cowell when Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Liam Payne and Zayn Malik who all auditioned as solo artists were put together.
