Boy band 'One Direction' has become the first British group to debut at number 1 on the U.S. Billboard charts with their first album.

"Up All Night" has already entered the charts at number one in 11 countries and has been certified triple platinum in Ireland, double platinum in the UK and Australia and platinum in New Zealand.

'One Direction' was formed in 2010 by Simon Cowell after the seven singers each entered the UK version of "The X Factor" as solo artists.

The band are scheduled to perform their hit "What Makes You Beautiful" at the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards in the US at the end of the month.

They're also set to appear on "Saturday Night Live" on April 7.
