Subsequently, the group got together for two weeks to get to know each other and to practise.[5][6] Styles came up with the name One Direction ashe wanted the group to go in "one direction" in winning the competition.[

They subsequently signed in the United States with Columbia Records.

Their achievements include a BRIT Award and 3 MTV VideoMusic Awards.
