Albums Quote by Niall Horan
“A personal highlight was probably when we got a No. 1 in the U.K. and when the album went to No. 1 in America. The top four that week was us, Adele, Guns N' Roses and Bruce Springsteen. It was ridiculous seeing those names there. Being the first band from the U.K. and Ireland to go to America and debut at No. 1 is just unbelievable.”

![“Actually, I was having dinner with Michael [Stipe, of R.E.M.] when our second album went platinum, which up until that point was the highest success we'd ever had. And he turned to me during dinner and said, 'Welcome to the deep waters, kid.' I'll never forget that.” quote by Billy Corgan](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/1ec/billy-corgan-1014_albums_actually-i-was-having-dinner-with-michae_1400279.jpg)
