One Direction world domination complete as their Comic Relief single hits number one spot in SIXTY-THREE countries

One Way Or Another (Teenage Kicks) is set to become the most successful Comic Relief single EVER

If you needed any further proof that boyband One Direction are slowly taking over the world, the news that their new single - recorded for Comic Relief - has gone to number one in no less than 63 countries is undoubtedly it.

That's almost one third of the countries in the entire world, making it set to be the most successful Comic Relief single ever by far.

The lads released One Way Or Another (Teenage Kicks), a mash-up of Blondie's classic track and The Undertones' anthem, earlier this week, and it has already hit the top spot in countries including the UK, USA, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Singapore, Egypt and New Zealand.

Previous Comic Relief singles - such as Westlife's Uptown Girl, The Spice Girls' Who Do You Think You Are and Boyzone's When The Going Gets Tough - have done well, but 1D's success is off the charts.

And, considering that Red Nose Day isn't really a 'thing' outside of the UK, it's really quite a staggering achievement.

The bigwigs over at Comic Relief are obviously over the moon with the single's success too, with the organisation's chief exec, Kevin Cahill, saying: ""We couldn't have asked for a better band to record the official Red Nose Day single in our 25th year.
