Wildest Dreams that has Swifties going mad with anticipation.

Drag Me Down – One Direction

In second place this week is British Boy band One Direction with Drag Me Down but I wonder if we should start to call them four directions as the band has announced that they are taking a year break, the news did not sit well with directioners all over the world as social media flooded with videos of fans breaking down and emotional tweets saying that the end is near. But the band has said that they are only taking the year to look into the prospects of solo projects and will be back to performing as a unit once the period is over.
