The X Factor and One Direction
In 2010, at the suggestion of his mother, Styles auditioned for the seventh season of the British singing competition show "The X Factor." Initially appearing on the show as a solo contestant, he failed to impress judges and did not make the pick for the "Boys" category. He was grouped with four other solo contestants from his age group who also did not make the cut, and together, as a group, they advanced in the competition under the "Groups" category instead. This group consisted of Styles, along with Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik. Naming themselves "One Direction" at the suggestion of Styles, the group enjoyed widespread popularity in the UK despite finishing third place in the competition.

The group's debut album, "Up All Night," was released in November 2011, and they became the first UK group to have their debut album reach number one in the United States. Their second album, "Take Me Home," was released in November 2012 to similar success, followed by their third album, "Midnight Memories" in November 2013 and "Four" in November 2014. They were the first group in the history of the Billboard 200 chart to have their first four albums debut at number one. The group released their fifth and last album, "Made in the A.M.," in November 2015, featuring only four of the members following Malik's departure from the group in early 2015.
