One Direction vow to release an album every year

Pop stars One Direction have vowed to continue the rapid pace of their music career by releasing an album every year for the foreseeable future.

The group shot to fame on Britain's The X Factor in 2010, and they have gone to release a record every 12 months.

The What Makes You Beautiful hitmakers will be recording their fourth album while they are on the road for their current world tour, and Liam Payne is adamant they can keep their promise by delivering records annually.

He tells Britain's The Sun on Sunday newspaper, "We want to release an album every year - year after year."

The group will be working out of a mobile production studio built in a van. Payne adds, "It used to be an old MI5 (U.K. secret service) van. It's where they recorded people during interrogation."
