One Direction have added another sales achievement to their resume.
Billboard reports the UK boy band is the first act since 2005 to have two newly-released albums sell more than a million in a calendar year.
The group's latest album, "Take Me Home," sold another 127,000 to bring its to-date total to 1.04 million in the U.S. according to Nielsen SoundScan. The set joins One D's debut, "Up All Night," which has sold 1.51 million copies since its release in March.
The last artist to sell a million of two new albums in a calendar year was Kenny Chesney in 2005.
One D will kick off their 2013 world tour in London in February.
