One Direction to release new album by Christmas?

One Direction

X Factor stars One Direction are set to release a new album by Christmas.

The boys released their debut record Up All Night last autumn, and it’s gone on to sell millions of records across the world and top the charts in more than 25 countries.

Liam, Zayn, Louis, Niall and Harry have also made history as the first UK group to top the US album charts with their debut album.

And they’re now getting ready to do it all again.

The group have been busy recording all over the world for their new album, and preparing to release it later this year in time for Christmas.

It’ll allow the boys to perform new music to thousands of fans on their first ever UK Arena tour in 2013.

“The plan is to have a new single out around November, with the album to follow a week or two later,” a source told the Daily Star Sunday this weekend.

And unsurprisingly, the new album is set to be accompanied by a performance on live shows too.

In between all their touring recently, we’re shocked that the group have had to the time to make any new music!
