5. Straight Off the Plane
Did One Direction peak in 2013? It did feel impossible for any band to be bigger than they were.
Did One Direction peak in 2013? It did feel impossible for any band to be bigger than they were.
Maybe we could call it the peak because it came right before鈥he fall. But this chapter isn鈥檛 about the end.
2013 saw One Direction release their most grown up and critically acclaimed record yet. This chapter tells the story of how the boys and their team created Midnight Memories, an album that challenged people鈥檚 perceptions and drew in even more fans. Maddie reminisces about the grown up sound (and its impact on her 13-year-old self).
In the same year they also released a film; One Direction: This Is Us was a global media event and an insight into the sacrifices each of the boys had made in order to find this success. They were on the top of the world but it wouldn't (and couldn't) last forever.
Featuring interviews with One Direction songwriter, Jamie Scott, the 1D Historian and Directioner Olivia Peter.
