His debut album, Mind of Mine, came out on Maexactly one year after he left the band. Soon after his sudden departure from the group in 2015, Zayn Malik signed with RCA Records. With that, lofty achievements came in tow - GRAMMY Awards, sold-out tours, and even more chart-topping hits - as well as the certainty that One Direction will never fully diminish (see Styles' roaring rendition of 'What Makes You Beautiful' or Horan's sweet performance of 'Story of My Life' ).įrom Malik's introspective Mind of Mine to Horan's latest set, breaks down all of One Direction's solo endeavors. While together, they were a pop phenomenon who sold an approximate 70 million records, but their solo careers have allowed them to showcase their true personalities. Through all those efforts, the quintet has kept One Direction's legacy not only alive, but thriving.

Horan is the latest to deliver more solo music, unveiling his third album, The Show, on June 9. What's even harder to fathom is that they've now been on hiatus just as long - but luckily for fans, that time has proven fruitful for Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, and Louis Tomlinson.Įach member has released at least one studio album as a solo artist, and they have all dipped into several other ventures within fashion, producing, and mentoring rising stars.

Looking at everything One Direction achieved in their time together, it's hard to believe that they were only active for six years.
