Bigger than the Beatles

Hannah and Rhiannon are to say the least MASSIVE One Direction fans and were apalled that I was unaware of a) how many were in the band and b) that they were more popular more quickly in the US than the Beatles (can this be true?) , they were happier that I had never heard of The Wanted (arch rivals ala - Bay City Rollers vs, The Osmonds ) they were kind enough to let me take this Blip to share with them again in a few years time and remind them of their teenage crush
