    As a starting point for One Direction fan memorabilia, for which it appears there is limitless potential for the time being, this is a perfectly sized, and targeted, collection.

    If a tween-pop empire is what these boys are after, they're definitely headed in the right direction.

    Up All Night is a well-crafted slice of pop you can pop bubbles to.
