Editor's note

One Direction's boy-band pop defined a decade

The X Factor-formed quintet turned teen anthems into global hits before their 2016 hiatus.

For the full picture, listen to 'What Makes You Beautiful' and then 'If I Could Fly.' You can hear the whole story in those two songs.

They took the boy-band template and made it feel fresh for a new generation, with songs that became instant singalongs. 'What Makes You Beautiful' was the kind of debut single that announces a phenomenon. Their later work, like 'If I Could Fly,' showed they could handle more serious material too.

They came together on The X Factor in 2010 and quickly released 'Up All Night' and 'Take Me Home.' After Zayn Malik left in 2015, they put out 'Four' and 'Made in the A.M.' before going on hiatus the next year.

Archive material and source history

One Direction formed in 2010 on the British reality show 'The X Factor,' with members Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, and Harry Styles. Their debut single 'What Makes You Beautiful' became an international hit, leading to albums like 'Up All Night,' 'Take Me Home,' and 'Midnight Memories' that topped charts globally.

In 2015, Zayn Malik left the group, which shifted the band's dynamic. They continued with albums 'Four' and 'Made in the A.M.,' showing a more mature side with tracks like 'If I Could Fly.' The band went on hiatus in 2016, after which the members pursued solo careers in various musical styles.
