One Direction made history once again. Their new album FOUR debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200; they became the only group in the charts 58-year history to have all four albums debut at the list’s top slot.

        FOUR sold 387,000 copies by November 23rd. The album of 16 tracks (including the deluxe songs) is a mixture of pop rock and 80’s & 70’s flavors. “Ready To Run” contains rippling acoustic guitars and the bubbly “Girl Almighty” makes you want to dance while “Where Do Broken Hearts Go” has a scream-along chorus with a blast of synth-metal.

       FOUR’s most incredible song is the slick 80’s style called “Stockholm Syndrome” with lyrics co-written by Harry Styles. Also another on of the boyband’s best songs is a deluxe track “Change You Ticket” the song seems very similar to The 1975 song “Girls”.

The album also has a trend of innocence and stunning harmonies in almost every song. “Steal My Girl” and “Night Changes” are the singles of the album. “Steal My Girl” has officially gone Gold in the UK, Sweden, New Zealand, and Austria. FOUR is now available on iTunes, Spotify, and in stores now.
