One Direction is undeniably one of the biggest boy bands in history, and that is reflected in each member’s very impressive net worth!
After coming together on The X Factor in 2010, the group took off in a big way. They conquered the world with solid gold hits such as “What Makes You Beautiful,” “Steal My Girl” and “Story of My Life.”
At the peak of their time together, the quintet commanded a following comparable to the Beatles in the ’60s and newer groups like the Backstreet Boys. The level of fandom has rarely been achieved since.
1D stayed near the top of the charts for six years, releasing five albums before going on hiatus. Since then, each of the members has pursued their own solo careers and found a great deal of success. Some of them have even expanded beyond the recording studio, hitting it big in Hollywood or on other reality shows.

Louis Tomlinson is opening up about his frustrations with years-long romance conspiracies surrounding his One Direction bandmate Harry Styles.
The singer has previously shut down rumors that fans have started regarding Tomlinson and Styles being more than just close friends. However, the theories have continued even during the boy band’s indefinite hiatus.
“What I realized a few years ago is that there is nothing I can say,” he said in a recent interview with Brazilian outlet G1. “There is nothing I can do to stop those who believe in this conspiracy. They are so connected to what they believe that they will not see the truth for what it really is. I’m sure many people look and find all these little conspiracies that happen in life interesting.”

Louis Tomlinson On Harry Styles & His Romance Conspiracy Theories. (Photo Credit – Instagram)
Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles created some exciting music when they were on One Direction, and they also made an amusing conspiracy theory revolving around just the two of them. The 1D fans must know the alleged Harry and Louis romantic relationship theories well. The people who believed in this were known as the ‘Larries.’ Both singers ignored these baseless theories, but Tomlinson was asked about them on more than one occasion. Recently, in an interview, Louis once again addressed conspiracy theories and shared his thoughts on them.
The famous boy band was formed in 2010, and it had Zayn Malik, Niall Horan, and Liam Payne, besides Louis and Harry. Zayn was the first to leave the band to pursue a solo music career, and they eventually went their separate ways. The band was formed on the British television show The X Factor.

The Voice is in its 25th season and the coaches believe they know what makes it still popular all these years later. While television ratings have dropped, that has happened across all of television. The Voice‘s ratings remain relatively strong compared to the rest of the television landscape.

Celebrity Big Brother contestant Louis Walsh has ignited a ramped-up war of words with X Factor breakouts Jedward, with the identical twin singers accusing Walsh of forcing them to give one of his PR workers £70,000.

Over its past 21 seasons, American Idol has had several famous judges including Simon Cowell, Jennifer Lopez, and Mariah Carey. But for the new generation fans of the show, Katy Perry is one of the show’s most iconic judges. She is the only female musician who came close to Simon Cowell’s whopping $36 million salary on the show. Perry was offered $25 million when ABC took up the show from Fox and rebooted it with a new judging panel.

Composer Lorne Balfe has spent his career working on blockbusters including “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning” but even so, Matthew Vaughn’s spy thriller “Argylle,” which features an all-star cast including Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell and Henry Cavill, was one for the books. For a start, the soundtrack incorporates the Beatles’ last-ever record, “Now and Then,” the existence of which Balfe had to keep top secret for over a year until it was finally released last November.
The movie also involved Balfe making an album of cat sounds, provided by Vaughn’s moggy (and Howard’s co-star) Chip. “There were recordings of him while they were filming so we were able to chop it up and make it a percussion library,” says Balfe, a self-confessed dog person. “I’m going to post it on Twitter as a freebie so composers can use it and Chip...

One Direction is undeniably one of the biggest boy bands of all time, and that is reflected in each member’s very impressive net worth!
After being formed on The X Factor in 2010, the group took off in a big way. They conquered the world with solid gold hits such as “What Makes You Beautiful,” “Steal My Girl” and “Story of My Life.”
At the peak of their time together, they commanded a following comparable to the Beatles in the ’60s and newer groups like the Backstreet Boys.
The group stayed near the top of the charts for six years, releasing five albums before going on hiatus. Since then, each of the members has pursued their own solo careers and found a great deal of success. Some of them have even expanded beyond the recording studio, hitting it big in Hollywood or on other competition based reality shows.

This documentary follows Dalton Harris whose storming 2018 triumph left him fearing failure and facing homophobic abuse, especially in his native Jamaica
This documentary, co-directed by Kim Longinotto and Scottish film-maker Franky Murray Brown, is a complex, intimate, sober look at someone making it in the music business, or maybe not making it, or maybe making it in something more important instead. It is candid about something rarely acknowledged in the life of any performer: the day-to-day, minute-by-minute dread of failure, of simply one day falling off the high-wire.
Dalton Harris is the superbly gifted young Jamaican singer who, in 2018, won TV’s The X Factor, after a struggle that included singing bizarre Nirvana covers on a cruise ship. The clip of him storming The X Factor audition with his version of Elton John’s Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word is almost worth the admission price. Dalton duly got a precarious year’s contract.

The former British reality TV juggernaut The X Factor is under fire, with former staff revealing that producers used a secret coding system to highlight contestants with the “potential to kick off.”
During the BBC podcast, Offstage: Inside the X Factor, one former production employee described coding including “E for entertaining, then Pko for potential kick-off.”
They added: “PKOs were those who might fight back, yell or drop a mic in annoyance. We all remember the time where the girl punched her best friend. Any sense of that? You put them straight through.”
The X Factor aired for 17 years following its debut in 2004, and made stars of bands including Little Mix and One Direction, and solo artists Leona Lewis and Alexandra Burke.
The Times of London reports that the podcast raises more questions about the quality of care accorded to participants in the hit show, including making them sign contracts without due diligence,...

Harry Styles: Are You Curious?, a completely unauthorised documentary on the ex-One Directioner is heading to DVD.
Harry Styles: Are You Curious?, a feature-length documentary about the rise and… well, rise of Harry Styles from a teenage heartthrob to an internationally acclaimed artist is heading to DVD in February.
Now, mind you, this is not in any capacity an official documentary and has no direct involvement from Styles himself. Instead, director Robert Hearn uses mostly archive footage of Styles at various engagements and events and interviews fans and presumably other people who are well-versed in their Harry Styles knowledge.
Styles first became known to the public as part of One Direction, a boy band which rose to fame from X Factor in 2010. One Direction was one of the most influential boy bands of the modern era, but has since disbanded.
Arguably, Styles’ music career has taken off the most compared to his old band mates.

TV star Sharon Osbourne would never judge a small screen talent show again because she doesn’t like how young contestants are treated. She also spoke about her co-judge Simon Cowell and said that he’s “never been a friend” of hers.

She told Best magazine: “I’d never do a talent show again. I’ve come to realise that the way they’re run isn’t right. Take kids. It’s not fair to put them through that schedule, that hard work.
“That’s particularly true of reality-based shows.

It’s been seven years since “The X Factor” runner-up Rebecca Ferguson last put out a record. Despite her hiatus from the industry, Ferguson never walked away from music, instead using her downtime to craft songs in a more spontaneous way.
“It was me organically calling up people saying, ‘Should we do a session?’ over seven years, very sporadically,” Ferguson tells Variety. “I got to the point where I was like, I do need to get an album out. Then I thought, ‘But I’ve got an album.’”
The result is “Heaven Part II,” which, according to the accompanying press release, is an exploration of “love, family, joy, liberation and Rebecca’s journey to happiness.” Over the past seven years, Ferguson has experienced a number of ups and downs, from personal and professional break-ups (including with her former management company) as well as a new marriage and a new baby,...

Destiny’s Child is one of the biggest, most influential R&b-pop girl groups of all time.
The legendary troupe first debuted in the late ‘90s, delivering hits like “No, No, No,” “Bills, Bills, Bills” and “Say My Name” that sent them skyrocketing to superstardom in the music industry.
Throughout the years, the group experienced several member lineup shake-ups, before ultimately landing on their most well-known iteration, dubbed “DC3.” Together, the trio would release fun, empowering smashes like “Survivor,” “Bootylicious” and “Independent Woman Pt. 1.”

One Direction is undeniably one of the biggest boy bands of all time, and that is reflected in each member’s very impressive net worth!
After being formed on The X Factor in 2010, the quintet took off in a big way, releasing solid gold smash hits such as “What Makes You Beautiful,” “Steal My Girl” and “Story of My Life.”
At the peak of their time together, they commanded a following comparable to the Beatles in the ’60s and newer groups like the Backstreet Boys.
The group stayed near the top of the charts for six years, releasing five albums before going on hiatus. Since then, each of the members has pursued their own solo careers and found a great deal of success. Some of them have even expanded beyond the recording studio, hitting it big in Hollywood or on other competition based reality shows.
