Harry Styles is one of the most polarizing figures of the decade: making younger fans scream on the top of their lungs and devoting themselves to marriage, while parents cringe in his presence. He is known as a member of the boy band One Direction. In 2010, Styles auditioned as a solo artist for the British television series The X Factor. After being eliminated as a solo performer, Styles was brought back into the competition, along with four other contestants, to form the group that would later become known as One Direction. They released their first studio album, Up All Night, in 2011, followed by their second, Take Me Home, in 2012. One Direction's debut popular song "What Makes You Beautiful" debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart, and has since sold over 5 million copies worldwide.
