Harry Styles has come sixth in a list of the world's sexiest males.

The One Direction man charted highly in the list devised by magazine Glamour designed to find the globe's hottest hunk.

The singer's position means that the publication ranks him as the sexiest male musician in the world.

However, he was beaten to the list's top spot by Superman actor Henry Cavill, who found himself in the No.1 position.

At No.2 is Twilight's Robert Pattinson whilst Liam Hemsworth is No.3. No.4 is Tom Hiddleston, whilst No.5 is taken by actor Benedict Cumberbatch.

The next music related entry on the list is Justin Bieber at No.10, with Olly Murs following at No.15.

One Direction's latest album 'Midnight Memories' meanwhile became the UK's fastest selling record of the year last week as it bypassed Daft Punk's total of 165,000 first-week sales.
