One Direction have the biggest-selling album of 2013 in the UK

One DirectionOne Direction's 'Midnight Memories' has become the UK's biggest-selling album of 2013, the Official Charts Company have confirmed.

Niall 'et al''s third album has now sold 685,000 copies, over­tak­ing Emeli Sandé's 2012 album 'Our Version Of Events' which has shifted 683,000 copies this year (over 2m in total).

The band's resident hellraiser Liam Payne, or someone pre­tend­ing to be him in order to supply a quote for a press release, had this to say about it all:

"We're so excited to have the biggest selling album in the UK this year, espe­cially with a record we are all so proud of. We'd like to thank everyone who has bought the album, it really means a lot to us."

The rest of the year's big sellers will be announced on New Year's Day, so that's something to celebrate going into 2014 isn't it.
