Midnight Memories
'' Midnight Memories'' is the third studio album by the British-Irish boy band One Direction, released on 25 November 2013 by Columbia Records, Syco Music and Sony Music. The album was described as having a "slightly rockier tone" than their previous efforts. It has become the fastest-selling album in Amazon UK's history, breaking the record set by One Direction's previous release, ''Take Me Home'' (2012). The album debuted at number one on the US ''Billboard'' 200, making One Direction the first group in history to debut at number one in the US with their first three albums. The album was preceded by the release of the singles "Best Song Ever" and "Story of My Life".
Upon the album's release, ''Midnight Memories'' received mixed reviews from music critics. Many critics praised the lyrical depth and musical composition on the album, as well as the group's level of involvement in the production process. However, others argued that the material was less memorable than their previous work and felt the themes were not as mature as expected. Despite being released five weeks before the year's end, ''Midnight Memories'' nevertheless became the best-selling album of 2013 as listed by the IFPI, with sales of four million copies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Home )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=One Direction top 2013 global album chart )〕
==Background and development==
One Direction began working on their third studio album whilst embarking on their second international tour, the ''Take Me Home Tour''. The album was announced simultaneously with the news of the band's third world tour, the ''Where We Are Tour'', which subsequently led fans to wrongly assume that the album title would be named ''Where We Are''. Member Louis Tomlinson proclaimed that the album would have a "rockier" sound to it than the band's previous releases.〔 The official title of the album was announced on 6 September 2013, starting with Zayn Malik tweeting a teaser video of Harry Styles spelling out the word "Mid" out of a pile of alphabet cards on the floor, followed by a full video posted on the band's Instagram account later on, revealing the title, ''Midnight Memories''.
The album artwork was released early exclusively by ''The Sun'' via a tweet which was then confirmed to be the official artwork through the band's official Twitter account, though the early access was only available for those who held a membership of the newspaper's online version. On 11 October, the band presented the album's final track list through the "#MidnightMemoriesTrackQuiz" hashtag on Twitter by giving out a mixture of hints and blank spaces to be filled alongside the final result. The full track list for the deluxe edition was later shown on iTunes.〔
