Despite being released five weeks before the year's end, Midnight Memories nevertheless became the best-selling album of 2013 as listed by the IFPI, with sales of four million copies. However, others argued that the material was less memorable than their previous work and felt the themes were not as mature as expected. Many critics praised the lyrical depth and musical composition on the album, as well as the group's level of involvement in the production process. Upon the album's release, Midnight Memories received mixed reviews from music critics. The album was preceded by the release of the singles "Best Song Ever" and "Story of My Life". The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, making One Direction the first group in history to debut at number one in the US with their first three albums. It has become the fastest-selling album in Amazon UK's history, breaking the record set by One Direction's previous release, Take Me Home (2012). The album was described as having a "slightly rockier tone" than their previous efforts. Midnight Memories is the third studio album by the British-Irish boy band One Direction, released on 25 November 2013 by Columbia Records, Syco Music and Sony Music.
