On 11/25, FGL will release HERE'S TO THE GOOD TIMES…THIS IS HOW WE ROLL, a deluxe version of their chart-topping, PLATINUM-certified debut on Republic Nashville. Garnering buzz among fans, media and several Superstars across genres – including Taylor Swift, Keith Urban and Ed Sheeran – the hot newcomers have taken home ACM and CMT Music Awards and garnered multiple TEEN CHOICE nominations. They are currently nominated for their first-ever AMA and CMA Awards, scoring spots in four categories at each.

It's been an incredible year for One Direction as they took home a BRIT Award, 3 Billboard Music Awards, 6 Teen Choice Awards and received a moonman for Best Song Of The Summer at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. This Summer, One Direction made their movie debut with their massive hit 3D concert movie and documentary One Direction: This Is Us.
