It’s been only five weeks since One Direction’s second album, ‘Take Me Home’ was released and it’s already sold more than one million copies in the United States alone!
Their debut album, ‘Up All Night’ also sold more than a million copies, but it took almost 15 weeks to happen. Nevertheless, the boys of One Direction remain one of the few musicians who can brag about having their first two albums sell more than a million copies! On top of that, One Direction are also the first musical act to sell more than a million copies of two different albums in the same calendar year since 2009!
These impressive sales landed the boys two spots on BILLBOARD’s list of the best selling albums of 2012. ‘Up All Night’ is at number three and ‘Take Me Home’ sits happily at #8. The number one spot is occupied by Adele for her album ’21’ and Taylor Swift’s is number two with ‘Red.’
