One Direction is enjoying chart topping success with their latest album, Midnight Memories and their single "Story of My Life." The band is ready to switch gears and present a more uptempo single to fans.

The bands album debuted at number one on the Billboard charts and made history being the third album in a row from One Direction to debut at the top of the charts.

One Direction took the stage during last nights X-Factor finale to premiere their new single, "Midnight Memories." X-Factor concluded with duo Alex and Sierra winning season three.

"Midnight Memories" fits in perfectly with the style of music fans are used to, it has catchy lyrics and an upbeat tempo that will make fans everywhere dance. The boys keep their performance simple during the finale, just focusing on singing and connecting with the audience.

This album does feature some growth and a more modern direction for One Direction, who might be trying to get away from their overly poppy boy band sound. Midnight Memories keeps the pop music vibe alive and well but also shows that the band members are very talented vocalists as well.

2014 will be a busy year for One Direction as they head out on a 2014 world tour to help promote, Midnight Memories.
