One Direction is (was) a boy band, consisting of 5 individuals who auditioned for the X-Factor and were put together by Simon Cowell, a judge on the show. The group was manufactured by Simon Cowell who got them to show with his label, Syco Records. Their concept was quite similar to the Beatles in the sense that each member had their own, specific role which would appeal to their fandom. For example, Harry was the cheeky, charming one while Niall was the cute Irish boy and Zayn was the quiet. mysterious boy, etc. However, the Beatles had their own label. The song 'History' was their 3rd and final single from their 5th and final studio album.
