With the end of the year just around the corner, we thought it'd be fun to take a look back at the top 12 stories of 2012. One problem, we've only been open since August 11, so technically this is the top 12 stories since August. We try not to play favorites on Hit Zone, but when you look at the list it's pretty obvious to see what and who is most popular here on the website! Seems like the majority of you really love One Direction (Liam Payne in particular) and their tattoos. We can't say we blame you.
This is based on the number of page views on the articles between August 11 and today (December 26). To view each post, just click the title. Here we go!

Not only do Big Time Rush's Kendall Schmidt and Logan Henderson sing, act, write, and dance, but they're also designers! The duo launched their own individual clothing lines in November. What made it cool is they designed stuff for both girls AND guys! And they both also offer stuff like personalized coffee mugs and cell phone covers among other cool items. |
When Seventeen Magazine asked One Direction's Louis Tomlinson if he rather collaborate with The Wanted or Big Time Rush, he picked the boys of Big Time Rush! Although the idea of this delights us (c'mon 1DBTR!) and they did tour together, the feedback we got from BTR fans wasn't very nice - oh well maybe it will happen a few years down the road. You know, like BSB and NKOTB did. |
It was sad, heartbreaking, and shocking when the news came out that Liam Payne and Danielle Peazer broke-up earlier this year. Luckily though the break-up only lasted a few months and the two got back together in New York City before 1D's Madison Square Garden Show! The two were also voted #2 in our Cutest Couples of 2012 list. |
One Direction fans got a huge treat on October 2 when One Direction released the tracklisting for the standard and deluxe versions of Take Me Home ! We all knew the hit lead single "Live While We're Young" would be one, but with the full listing it brought the total to 17 new 1D songs - and they all rock! Check out our Take Me Home track-by-track review! |
It made all sorts of headlines when Simon Cowell hinted that he wanted to sign Emblem 3 to his record label regardless of where they came in on The X-Factor. The news became even more popular after they were eliminated and came in fourth place behind girl-group Fifth Harmony. At the time of this post, no announcement has been made, but the guys are committed to continue making music! |
It was big news when One Direction announced their sophomore album, Take Me Home, but it was equally as exciting when they announced all the different versions, including a box set! This featured the yearbook edition of Take Me Home, an exclusive One Direction T-shirt, wrist band and sticker sheet as well as the deluxe copy of the album. |
This one ended up being a complete RUMOR made up by other media outlets and fans, but it was still a very popular story here on Hit Zone. It shocked the entire 1D fandom when Liam Payne changed his hairstyle once again, this time sporting a shaved head. Turns out he did it simply because he felt like it. |
One Direction's Liam showed off his 4th tattoo in under two months outside The X-Factor USA studios in November. This time arrows on his arm, each one representing a member of the band. Harry Styles also showed off some new ink that same day, two swallows, which is a type a bird, on his chest. |
It was assumed for awhile, but it was huge news when Bridgit Mendler made her relationship with Good Luck Charlie co-star, Shane Harper, official in a interview with Elvis Duran and the Morning Show's, Danielle Monaro. The couple also made our Cutest Couples of 2012 list. |
After Liam Payne got a tattoo and revealed some of it, everybody was wondering what that final word was. In a 46-minute sit down interview, he revealed it says: "Everything I ever wanted but nothing I'll ever need.." meaning "It's basically that obviously we've got a lot of things from doing this and stuff, and there are things that I want, but all I ever need is my family and these four boys right here." |
