Last week I was walking down the streets of San Francisco when a homeless man came up to me holding a duffel bag and demanded I put all my dreams inside. Because I could smell the hooch on his breath I knew I didn't actually have to put my dreams in the bag, so I walked away without another thought. But later that day, I realized that homeless man was Drew Lachey formerly of 98 Degrees. Then I got sad thinking about the great decline of the boy band. Thankfully, with their new number one album debut, One Direction is bringing them back!
None of their hair looks like real hair.

This week the sales of their album, "Up All Night", sold 176,000 copies and made them the first ever British group to debut at number one on the United States' Billboard Top 200 chart. While it's no N*SYNCian 2.1 million, but here in the age of pirated music, 176,000 copies is roughly double the number of total albums sold in the history of Earth.
Goddamn DOUBLE.

One Direction consists of five individual singers that were individually competing on the british version of The X Factor before the show's producers decided to lump them together. And, well, they sound like it. Listen to them perform their single "One Thing" The Today Show:
It's easy to imagine them as phenomenal singers on their own, but man those are not voices that go well together. If we think of vocal combinations in smoothie terms, N*SYNC was strawberry banana mango and One Direction is wheat grass and handguns.
That was the weirdest crash diet I was ever on.

Overall though, it's great to see the British One Direction doing so well here in America, if only because it gives me two more words to say when I'm doing an impression of a British guy.
"Oy guh-vnuh! 'Arry Potter! The queen mum! One Direction! Crumpet!"
