With the singles ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ (which has a cumulative 31 Platinum certificates between six countries), ‘Gotta Be You’ and ‘One Thing’, the album peaked at Number One on charts in seven regions (as well as Number Two in the UK), and racked up a total of 22 Platinum certificates across seven countries.The album remains One Direction’s most successful, with each of their subsequent four albums – the most recent of which was 2015’s ‘Made In The A.M.’, which arrived a year before the band announced their indefinite hiatus – selling less copies than its predecessor.Tomlinson appeared on Smallzy’s Surgery to plug his current world tour, which wraps up with a trio of sold-out dates in Italy at the start of September.

Netflix has dropped the teaser trailer for “Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio,” the stop-motion animation film based on the classic story of the wooden puppet boy Pinocchio from the Oscar-winning master behind “Pan’s Labyrinth” and “The Shape of Water.” Guillermo del Toro’s take on Pinocchio is naturally far darker, introducing us to the wooden boy’s cricket conscience that is hardly as dapper as Disney’s Jiminy Cricket. But the first trailer has a lot of heart and fantasy, too; del Toro aims to tell “a story you may think you know, but you don’t.” Here’s the full synopsis, per Netflix:Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro reinvents Carlo Collodi’s classic tale of the wooden marionette who is magically brought to life in order to mend the heart of a grieving woodcarver named Geppetto.
