The One Direction boys have set a record. They have sold 12 million records in less than a year. Eight million were singles, three million were albums, and one million were DVDs. One of the boys, Liam said, “We are obviously ecstatic and incredibly humbled by our award. We have an incredible team of people around us who have helped us achieve this, and above all we would like to thank our fans. We owe all our success to them.”

Their next achievement will be performing on the MTV VMAs in September. Congratulations to One Direction!
