Huge congrats are in order for the boys of One Direction as they once again break records in the United States! They made US chart history again today by earning the highest selling first week single sales by a UK artist with "Live While We're Young." The first single from the bands upcoming album, Take Me Home, entered the Billboard Digital Track and Song Charts at #1 with over 341,000 sold in its first week making it the biggest opening week sales for a single by a non-US artist in the history of music! How awesome is that?! |
"We're so happy with the success of the single in the USA and can't wait for everyone to hear our new album. Thank you to all the fans once again," Niall said after receiving the news.
You may remember earlier this year One Direction made history in the US when their album Up All Night helped them become the first UK artist to have their debut album enter the charts at #1 on the US Billboard Albums chart. The album is also the best selling debut album of the year so far.
