  • "The album's number-one debut on the US Billboard 200 chart made One Direction the first group to bow atop the Billboard 200 with their first two albums since Danity Kane entered with Welcome to the Dollhouse in 2008 and their self-titled debut in 2006, the second act in 2012 to achieve two number-one albums within a 12-month period, and the first boy band in US chart history to land two number-one albums in a calendar year." — How about splitting this into two sentences?
Production
  • In February 2012, One Direction stated interest in working with Ed Sheeran, and in April 2012, Sheeran confirmed that they were in contact: "I've got two songs that their manager emailed me for — old songs that were meant to go on my last album — a big stadium anthem. → In February 2012, One Direction expressed interest in working with Ed Sheeran, and in April 2012, Sheeran confirmed that they were in contact: "I've got two songs that their manager emailed me for — old songs that were meant to go on my last album — a big stadium anthem."
