You ever wonder how one puts together one of the most successful pop bands in the World? Throughout history, the task of assembling an ensemble of musicians together to form a union is a task that takes skill, knowledge and a commitment of patience. In recent weeks, it has been discovered that Pussycat Dolls member and former host of The X Factor UK, Nicole Scherzinger played a major role in forming One Direction. It was during the tenth season of The X Factor UK in 2013, where One Direction was formed, grouping the highly talented Harry Styles, Niall Horan Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne.
Since 2014, it was widely speculated and credited to Simon Cowell for forming One Direction; however, it has been stated that it was actually Nicole who pushed play on the idea of forming the group. What came out of a suggestion to do an imaginary boy band, ended up creating one of the Worlds biggest bands.
One must admit, Nicole Scherzinger is surely qualified after selling millions of records across the globe! The job of a music executive is a tough racket.
To date, One Direction has sold over 75 million records, making them the first British artists to debut #1 on Billboard Top 200 charts.
“They’re the cutest boy band ever. I love it. The little girls are gonna love them,” “I think they’ll be a really great in a boy band together.”
