One Direction Makes US Music History With Second Album Also Topping The Charts

British boy band One Direction created history with their second album also topping the billboard charts.

British band One Direction makes history in the US music world with the second album topping the Billboard charts as well, making them the first British band to have both their albums top the charts.

"We just want to say a massive thanks to all the fans who have supported us," band member Harry Styles, said in an interview Tuesday from London.

"We can send tweets and thank them, but 140 characters is never going be enough to say how much it means."

The band sold 540,000 copies of "Take Me Home" in its first week. This makes this album the third highest debut album sold this year. Taylor Swift's Red takes top position selling 1.2 million copies in the first week and Mumford & Sons' Babel comes second selling more than 600,000 albums in their debut week.

"We were a little bit nervous about how people were going to take it,"19-year-old Niall Horan said of the new album during tour rehearsals. "Everyone gets that second album syndrome."

Horan said that though the entire band is ecstatic with this achievement, they would be celebrating or partying too hard. "We're finishing rehearsing soon and we're going home to bed," joked the band member.

"We've been working hard. We're starting to grow up," Horan said. "We're still young, but we've passed the initial teenage years. ...We've grown up quite quick in the job we have to do and we became a lot more independent."

"I can see how it gets to people. I guess it's quite easy to get wrapped up in it all," Band Member Harry Styles said. "We do the same things every other lad our age does. We go out, we have fun, we meet girls and stuff like that."

"Sometimes it gets written about, which, yeah, we think about it and it's absolutely crazy. It's still a bit weird thinking that that's the way it is."
