Inevitably, One Direction's new single 'Live While We're Young' will be a No.1 single the world over, putting even more cash in the pockets of the boyband and Sony music boss, Simon Cowell. So we should all just get used to it now.
The video sees the boyband camping and enjoying wholesome fun in the countryside in buttoned up shirts, on the back of a fast moving jeep, 'zorbing' on a lake. Most importantly, for their teenage female fans - the boyband spend much of the video soaking wet.
One Direction's earnings have today been revealed, with the five-piece said to have pocketed $100m between them in just two years.
The news of One Direction's financial might comes from Tom Bower’s new book on X Factor boss Simon Cowell, in which he writes: “Nothing had been left to chance by Sony Music, with the band’s hit album Up All Night selling more than five million copies worldwide.
“The songs, the publishing, the discs, the DVDs, the merchandising and endorsements brought in huge profits, with the group estimated to have earned nearly £100million. Naturally, Sony and Syco raked in much more.”
Watch the leaked version of 'Live While We're Young' below.
