One Direction were the newest and arguably the most highly anticipated artists to take the stage at Z100's Jingle Ball 2012. The boys didn't disappoint!

Between touring with One Direction and recording with Flo Rida, Olly Murs has had a pretty terrific 2012 -- and if he has anything to say about it, it's only the beginning of the U.K. singer's ascent to worldwide crossover success.

The once-friendly rivalry between the Wanted and One Direction has gotten heated in recent weeks, with personal insults on Twitter and threats of violence. The groups will be in the same building on Friday, performing as part of the Z100 Jingle Ball concert in New York City, but the Wanted's Max George says the dueling boy bands won't go near each other.

As our year comes to a close, it's time to look back at some of the the songs that dominated the charts, and totally got stuck in our heads.

Camryn is the singing sensation from Colorado, and most recently opened for the boys in One Direction. She was cool enough to stop by the Fun 107 studios for a quick performance, before getting back on the road.

One Direction hit the stage at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut last night (Nov. 30), and guess what? There's video of most of their set!

Harry Styles of One Direction looks like a pretty brave guy. He's loaded with tattoos, he's courageous enough to date Taylor Swift knowing her track record -- and now, there's footage of him doing a free fall.

If you ever have a secret, you'd be wise not to tell loose-lipped Louis Tomlinson. The cheeky One Direction singer has a habit of humorously ribbing his bandmates -- and revealing some of their more covert secrets that way.

Fans are crazy!! We know Carly Rae won an AMA, beating out One Direction, but what we just learned is that she received DEATH THREATS from One Direction fans!

We could have told you a while ago that One Direction are pretty darn fascinating, but it looks like Barbara Walters finally caught on. She announced her annual list of the Most Fascinating People, and the fantastic five piece made the cut.
