One Direction’s “FOUR” was – you guessed it – the boy band’s fourth studio album.<\/p>\n

This past week, it became the group’s fourth to join the million sales club in the United States.<\/p>\n

According to Nielsen Music, “FOUR” generated a US sales total of approximately 4,000 during the July 31-August 6 tracking week. That brought its cumulative US sales total past the 1 million mark.<\/p>\n

In crossing one million, “FOUR” joins a club that had already been occupied by 2011’s “Up All Night,” 2012’s “Take Me Home” and 2013’s “Midnight Memories.”<\/p>\n

The respective albums boast US sales totals of 2.05 million, 2.02 million and 1.51 million.<\/p>\n

“FOUR” was released on November 17, 2014. Approximately 188,000 of its million-plus US copies were sold in 2015.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[183,1047],"tags":[2860,562],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n"FOUR" Becomes One Direction's 4th Album to Top 1 Million US Sales Mark<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"One Direction's "FOUR" was - you guessed it - the boy band's fourth studio album.
