Niall Horan says recording Heartbreak Weather was the "most fun" he's ever had in a studio.

Cheeky chappy Horan released his sophomore album yesterday [March 13]. It includes his latest single, “No Judgement,” which has already racked up 55 million combined streams worldwide.

The Irish superstar's new album was inspired by his break-up but he's revealed that he still relised the experience of making the record and can't wait to tour with his new music.

He told the BBC: "I was just like, 'Come on, have a laugh, you can't go around moping'. And it turned out to be the most fun I've ever had in the studio. A really fun year.

"I'm gonna have so much fun doing the shows."

Meanwhile, Horan has claimed that his career is a story of being in the right place at the right time.

The singer-songwriter joined One Direction on The X Factor back in 2010, and looking back on the last decade, admits that it's been a whirlwind ride.

He said: "All the parents had one thing in common with the band and they all said, 'We just went to the audition and never came home,' which is true.

"I moved to a new country at 16 years old. I mean, to go on to do what I did was pretty amazing. But at the time, it was yesterday I was in school and in a small town of about 20,000 people and now, I'm living in London in a band that, in hindsight, went on to do what it did.

"But at the time it was all a bit crazy and if that had gone the opposite way, I would have been back sitting in my hometown, just scratching my head, wondering what I was going to do. It was right place, right time, I suppose in a way."

Horan has just wrapped up a weeklong residency on The Late Late Show with James Corden in the USA. View highlights of his performances of “Nice To Meet Ya,” “Put A Little Love On Me,” “No Judgement,” “Black and White” and his Carpool Karaoke below.
