This is the best of the best people.

10. History

The video for this song makes me want to die. If you've ever been as immersed in the One Direction fandom as I am (and will be for the froseable future,) then you know the true pain of this song. It was such a jam when it came out, such a comeback, you cheered for your four children. And then they released the music video. And it was like the four of them collectively punched a hole through your chest and squeezed your heart. Everyone in this fandom has a story for where they were when the news of Zayn leaving came out. All the throwbacks in this video, man, don't even get me started. What happy little cherubs. This is everyones fav deep down.

9. Clouds

Yet another jam. You wanna dance like a crazy person to this song, like a stripper whos rent is two weeks past due and you have your nieces birthday party in three days and you promised her the new barbie dream house.

8. Summer Love

I think even if you haven't had a cliche summer camp love, everyone can relate to this song on some sort of level. It doesn't make you cry but it makes you feel like you want to drastically change your life because you feel like you're missing something.

7. Half a Heart

A tear jerker for sure. Only half a blue sky. Half a man at best. This is the kind of song I feel like people will be doing covers of for singing competitions in years to come, and killing it, and making audience members cry.

6. Over Again

Oh, god. Take Me Home. When Take Me Home leaked, it was a frenzy of a day in the One Direction fandom. It was a catastrophe. I, personally, was one of the stuck up people who said "I'm not going to listen to the leaks cause they didn't intend for them to come out!" and then about two hours into everyone still freaking out, I caved and decided I didn't give a fuck, and loved every second of listening to those shitty leaks and trying to find good versions. What a day. Will forever live in One Direction history. Anyways Over Again is a great one. The song that you get wine drunk to at 3pm. So many good fandom memes were created from this song. What an amazing experience.

5. Never Enough

Hoowa! Sexual, amazing, a great shower song to sing. Thats right, you use your shampoo bottle as a microphone, you go girl. A shower performance of epic proportions. Its like the follow up song to Half a Heart, where youve gotten over the break up and now are ready to waste your time again. Hands down best part of this song is 3 minutes in when Liam is straight up raspy screaming "it's never it's never it's never it's never" Just take me now.

4. Olivia

The feel good song. They blessed us with this song. The best theory of the title of this song is "I love a ya" said very quickly, sounds just like Olivia. Honestly with the track record for their songs and the titles, I don't put it past them to come up with something so ridiculous. A song that could have come from the Willy Wonka movies, honestly.

3. End of The Day

What a gay song. This is the follow up to Never Enough, where you now realize what a fucking catch you are. Also it's got so many gay undertones, probably unintentional, but this is what I take away from this song. It's a lesbian couple okay guys, it just is.

2. Girl Almighty

For me, the absolute pinacle of an empowerment song. They understand. They understand what goddesses their fans are. They knew what we needed. And it was Girl Almighty. I literally have the lyrics of this song tattooed on my body. That is how crazy I am.

1. Fools Gold

We've come so far since Gotta Be You. Another song I've thought about getting tattood on my body, the lyrics "not a constant star." I have strong emotional ties to this song. Such a jam, but in a different way than some of the other jams. It's an emotional jam. A jam for the heart. And if that doesn't say Number One, I don't know what does.
