"With a slew of hit singles, a blockbuster documentary, and, like, a bajillion awards (AMAs, BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards, MuchMusic Awards, VMAs, EMAs\u2014they&amp;#39;ve won &amp;#39;em all), One Direction has pretty much surpassed superstar status. But now they&amp;#39;ve racked up yet another accolade proving they&amp;#39;re the best\u2014which you already know, but this makes it official. After selling 546,000 copies in its first week, Midnight Memories debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart. A big accomplishment on its own, for sure\u2014but given that their previous two albums also immediately topped the charts, they&amp;#39;ve made history as the only band to do so with their first three albums. Is there anything these guys can&amp;#39;t do?!\n\nThing is, the new record&amp;#39;s just getting starting. It&amp;#39;s been out mere weeks, and the boys have only released two singles and two videos. That means we can still expect big things from Midnight Memories\u2014more radio hits, more adorable videos, and, fingers crossed, more awards.\n\nAnd now that they&amp;#39;ve officially dominated the airwaves, it&amp;#39;s time for them to take over the world with their upcoming international tour. While we (not-so) patiently wait for them to come to our town, you can catch us watching this gem on repeat.\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
