Boy band crushes competition despite only releasing LP in November...
Tuesday, December 31, 2013 - 08:32
One Directionhave notched up the UK's biggest selling album of 2013 with their third long player Midnight Memories.
The boys trumped competition from Emeli Sande's Our Version Of Events - which was last year's biggest-selling album - despite not bringing theirs out until the end of last month.
However it was a quiet year for album sales, with no artist album clocking up more than 1 million sales for the first time since the 1980s.
The only LP to breach the million mark was Now That's What I Call Music 86 - with 1.2 million sales.
1D's Liam Payne said: "This tops an amazing year for us. We're so excited."
The lads are reported to be at the start of a three-month lay off before their next tour rehearsals.
