1* Becoming one of the biggest boybands of all-time despite making it only to third place on the X-Factor is this in spades.
2* Their unprecedented success in the United States for a U.K. boy band.
3* Although Music/JustinBieber would later come back and bite them ''hard'', seeing them one-upping all of his accomplishments and essentially burying his career into the ground in less than two years was breathtaking. This is likely why the Internet gave them somewhat of a "free pass" and they were able to avoid the resistance that Bieber faced.
4* They had a four year run on top. Most boy bands only ''dream'' of holding on for as long as they have.
5* During their reign on top, they had little to no competition. While it is painful to see many promising careers fizzle out, it is surely a testament to 1D's popularity.
