Boyband One Direction recently shot the music video for their smash-hit new single 'Drag Me Down' and they have now confirmed details of the location. 

A press release has revealed that the band shot the video at NASA’s headquarters in Houston, Texas this week and it was directed by long term collaborators Fulwell 73.

Earlier this week, Louis Tomlinson told Capital FM that the accompanying visuals should be released soon: 

“That’s a question I should know the answer to but I don’t! I’m going to say the video [is coming] probably in about two or three weeks, something like that.”

The world’s biggest pop band surprised fans last Friday with the impromptu release of the song, which instantly became the group's most successful global single launch ever, selling over 500,000 copies in its first week.

It shot to No.1 this evening in the UK on the Official Top 40 and has also hit No.1 on iTunes in a staggering 90 countries. The track reached the No.1 position in France, which is One Direction's first official chart-topping single in the country. 

The track received 4.75m Spotify streams on the first day, smashing Wiz Khalifa’s record (of 4.25m streams), and shot straight to the top of the Spotify Global Chart on its first day of release, the first track ever to achieve this in Spotify history. ‘Drag Me Down’ scored the top spot on Spotify in 17 individual countries including the USA. Overall, ‘Drag Me Down’ has had 17.7 million streams to date globally.
