Meet Britain's Newest Export One Direction

Description:Britain's newest export is Simon Cowell's creation: boy band "One Direction." The five-member group, made up of Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson, was formed on the British version of the X-Factor in 2010 after each of them failed to make it on the show as solo artists. The judges placed the young men together, asking them to compete as a group. The members finished as the third runners up that season. (1:08)
