It seems like only yesterday when many of us were screaming every word to 'What Makes You Beautiful', counting down days of the music video release and scavenging the internet for photos of Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles, and Zayn Malik. But come this 23 July, coveted boyband One Direction is celebrating their 10th anniversary.
