One Direction have only released five singles so far (although future hit 'Little Things' will be out soon), which is a perfectly valid reason for any musical website or blog to arrange them into some sort of order and call it a "Top 5", although One Direction are so sexy and dreamy (yet still marketable to a younger 'Disney" audience) that really all of their songs are our favourites.

5. 'More Than This'

This amazing and charming ballad only made it to number 86 on the charts, which is really really bad, even old and practically dead people like Gary Barlow can probably get a higher number than that. Luckily for One Direction, there are still some fans of the song, such as YouTube's own Casey White, who (for real) wrote:

"I'm a guy, and I'm not gay. But 1D honestly is very talented. Whoever doesn't like them does not know good music! :)"

Forty people gave that a thumbs up within 17 hours. 

4. 'Gotta Be You'

In a clever move to target not just teen girls, but also their mothers, One Direction wear a selection of outfits here that could either be from Topman or Marks & Spencer, making dreamboat Harry Styles look really amazing with all his hair, which makes the song good. 

3. 'One Thing'

One thing that makes One Direction so unique and good is that all their songs have really nice melodies that no one has ever heard before ever. 

2. 'Live While We're Young'

When this song was released, some people said the guitar riff sounded quite a lot like a song by The Clash, which was not very nice and made lots of true fans say that was wrong. This was backed up by dreamgoat Harry Styles, who told the BBC that: "It's kind of on purpose though", because as we all know, plagiarism on purpose doesn't count.

1. 'What Makes You Beautiful'

Not just the best song by One Direction, but quite possibly the best song of all time. This completely original hit which doesn't sound like anything else was the single that introduced most of the world to dreamcoat Harry Styles and his friends, who are now so famous that they might even be playing at the White House =/ Please don't steal our One Direction America!!!
