One Direction want to sell their records in outer space

  • September 3, 2012
  • Sam Hine

One Direction have set their sights quite high by saying they want to sell their records in space.

Spicy Character and lead singer Niall Horan took the lead with this one (as quoted here), stating: "I think our goal for ten years down the line should be to sell a single in outer space and be the first band to do so."

"I want aliens to buy our music," he explained. "It is worth a shot and is obtainable."

Second in command Louis Tomlinson then threw in his two cents, saying the band should "talk to 30 Seconds To Mars [as] they could probably help us".

Just Louis' little joke, ladies and gentlemen.
