It's a big thing. The biggest rock band in the world pays homage to the biggest pop band in the world.

UAN is 3rd biggest in the mid year sales chart!!

"2012's third-biggest selling set is One Direction's first album "Up All Night," with 899,000. After pop vocal groups essential vaporized from the top of the charts for years, boy band One Direction charged onto the Billboard tallies earlier this year. The quintet made history on the Billboard 200 as the first U.K. group to bow at No. 1 with a debut album."
