Since One Direction is one of the biggest boy bands in the world, it is no surprise that the boys are always in the news. These last few months, however, they have been more prominent than usual. There are rumors that Louis is having a baby with his friend, and Zayn quit the band a few months ago and has been tweeting some harsh things lately. I figured that now is a good time to rate almost every One Direction song from best to worst. Let's be honest: One Direction has never released a bad song, so really this is a list from best to not-as-good.
Disclaimer: This list was made by me, so most people won't agree with my choices. Even if you disagree, enjoy the beautiful music videos!
1. "You & I" from the album "Midnight Memories"
The music video is perfect. I watch it three times a day, and Zayn’s high note still brings tears to my eyes.
2. "Story of My Life" from the album "Midnight Memories"
I cry every time I watch the music video. No shame.
3. "What Makes You Beautiful" from the album "Up All Night"
This song is impossible to listen to without turning up the volume till your ears hurt. Plus, it’s a classic.
4. "Half A Heart" from the album "Midnight Memories"
5. "Little Things" from the album "Take Me Home"
Thank You, Ed Sheeran.

11. "Gotta Be You" from the album "Up All Night"
There are too many high notes for me to sing, but I love it. Watch the music video if you want to see Zayn kiss a girl that isn’t you and see a bunch of young moody boys in cute coats.
