One Direction, which also includes 20-year-old Zayn Malik, met while competing individually on the United Kingdom's version of The X Factor. They decided to team up and form a band after the suggestion was made by one of the show's judges, Simon Cowell. Three years later, they have two albums out in stores - Up All Night and Take Me Home, are currently on their first ever world tour. They also have a 3D documentary hitting theaters in late August called This is Us, chronicling their world tour travels. The band on Monday released the music video for their new song, Best Song Ever.
The track had the band break the previous record held by Miley Cyrus for the most viewed video on VEVO in 24 hours with 12.3 million views, Westmeath Examiner reported Wednesday. The new record beats Miley Cyrus' We Can't Stop, which hit 10.7 million views.
