Horan, who has sold more than 70 million records as part of the all-conquering One Direction, launched his solo career with the singles This Town and Slow Hands, which have both achieved Platinum certificat­ion (or higher) in numerous markets around the world.

Slow Hands went straight to Number One in 44 countries. Named as one of the Best Songs of 2017 So Far by Billboard, it now has more than 820 million combined streams worldwide. Views of the lyric video exceed 83 million.

Horan has been honoured with numerous awards in 2017, including People’s Choice, Teen Choice, Radio Disney Music and iHeartRadi­o MMVA awards.
