One Direction is considered to be one of the most successful boybands in the history of pop music. The band was formed on the British singing reality show X-Factor UK under judge Simon Cowell’s orders. Back then, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, and Liam Payne separately auditioned for the show.
Since the five contestants could not qualify further individually, they were put into a group and finally One Direction was formed. They were the third runner up of the show. But even though they did not win the show, their fans did not deter and helped the band to catapult to success.
