The Mullingar lad, Niall Horan, has said that One Direction’s newest album “Take Me Home” is even better than their record breaking album “Up All Night”

Speaking to the Sun, the formerly blond Irish singer said their new album is “a million miles away from our old album.”

Horan continued, “It’s a bit more of a live-sounding album…The drums are a bit harder.

“When you make a second album, I think the thing to do is outdo your first one and personally I think we’ve done that. It’s way better.”

One Direction have already released the first song from the album, “Live While We’re Young.”
This broke records, becoming the fastest selling pre-ordered single ever. It topped pre-ordered charts in 40 countries.

Niall Horan and the boys also hold the Guinness World Record for being the first Irish / UK group to reach number one in the charts in America with a debut album. “Up All Night” bettered the Spice Girls 1997 attempts and not even The Beatle managed to achieve this record.

Here’s the video for “Live While We’re Young”:
