In the short time that the guys have been together, three years, they've sold more than 35 million albums and have achieved world-wide success and find it hard to appreciate everything. Louis Tomlinson told GMA's Robin Roberts,

I think it's such a hard thing to comprehend, really. Me and Zayne [Malik], we sat in the room yesterday and we had a little toast and a celebration, but it's such a hard thing to get your head around. It's just a testament to how amazing our fans are, you know?"

The band's latest album is available now, Midnight Memories. See their interview with Robin Roberts and their performance from Good Morning America and if you watch it get ready for a lot screaming teenage girls!
