One Direction has earned a spot in the Guinness World Records 2015 book after their first three albums debut at number one on the standard-bearing American chart.
The group's Midnight Memories is their latest chart-topping LP. It debuted at number one on Billboard 200 following its release late last year.
Previously, their first album Up All Night and their sophomore set Take Me Home also entered the same chart at the top slot.
The boys recently received their Guinness World Records certificate when bringing their 'Where We Are Tour' to New Jersey's MetLife Stadium.
Member Niall Horan made the announcement before thousands of fans at the venue.
"This really is one of our proudest moments, both for us and our incredible fans. Whenever we talk about it we always say how cool it is that we did it first, how sick is that?!," he said.
One Direction is currently working on their fourth album. It's still unknown when the yet-to-be-titled project will be released, but the band's members have already been teasing it on social media.
Guinness World Records 2015 book will be released on September 11.
