"Four [is] the most consistent-sounding Direction album yet." — Spin

"Luckily on Four the scales are tipped heavily in favor of the kind of songs they do best, with the majority of them sounding like good-time hits that will go a long way toward warming up a cold November night." — AllMusic

British pop superstars One Direction present their eagerly anticipated fourth studio album, Four, via Syco/Columbia Records. Featuring songs co-written by Ed Drewett, Wayne Hector, Jamie Scott, and Ed Sheeran.

With a staggering 94 number ones and more than 46 million records sold, in just four short years, One Direction have gone from energetic pop upstarts to international superstars. The band's third album Midnight Memories made them the first band in history to debut at the top of the U.S. Billboard 200 album chart with their first three albums and were named the IFPI's Global Artist of 2013, becoming the biggest selling act in the world.

As the band's song writing becomes more personal with each record, Four is set to be their most stunning yet. The album follows the global success of their huge sell out Here We Are stadium tour and the 3D film documentary "This Is Us." Add all this to their 3 billion YouTube views, 109 million combined Twitter followers and 33 million Facebook fans and it's clear that Liam, Harry, Louis, Niall and Zayn genuinely are a worldwide phenomenon.
