One Direction’s debut single “What Makes You Beautiful” has just passed 2 million in digital sales and has achieved double platinum status. The single debuted at #12 on the Billboard Digital Songs chart and sold more than 131,000 copies in the United States during its first week of release.
According to Columbia Records, One Direction made the highest debut (at 28) on the Billboard Hot 100 of any British group since the Spice Girls in 1998. The band’s currently at work on their second album.
The British group (Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, and Louis Tomlinson) just kicked off their US summer tour last week, with tickets on sale now at Ticketmaster.com and LiveNation.com.
