One Direction

THEY ARE: X Factor finalists Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson, who graced Simon Cowell's stage in 2010. Originally solo performers, the fivesome came together at the urging of Nicole Scherzinger, which helped catapult them to a third-place finish and a burgeoning career as a teen heartthrob collective.

WHERE THEY'RE FROM: England and Ireland, where grooming young lads for global domination is as prevalent as enrolling in a local football league.

WHAT THEY'RE LIKE: Cute and talented performers with a not-so-secret appreciation for R&B, they're the boys you want to invite over for tea with your mum.

THEIR HOBBIES: Groomed on live television, the band has shown no opposition to continuing their career in front of the camera. After being met with success by their home audience, they'll further their Westward expansion with an appearance on Miranda Cosgrove's Nickelodeon series iCarly this spring.

THE HITS: While "What Makes You Beautiful" has already reached No. 1 in the UK, second single "One Thing" has received the video treatment stateside, giving American fans more insight into lives of those across the pond while they wait for debut album Up All Night's March release.

THE SONG: "What Makes You Beautiful" is a peppy vote of confidence that features not one but five handsome gents urging their subject to realize their true beauty a la Drake's "Best I Ever Had." Unabashedly fun, the inclusion of "na na na na" and a clapping breakdown help make this the ultimate singalong track.
