Great news for Directioners as One Direction have now announced a new album ready by Christmas 2012. One Direction have also confirmed that their next single “Heartbreaker” will be released in November.

Ed Sheeran is also confirmed to be working with One Direction on the next album. “I wrote a couple of songs when I was 17 that One Direction want for their next album. I’m going into the studio in August to produce the tracks for them. I won’t feature on the tracks though. There’s definitely a divide in genre.”

“Heartbreaker” will be released Nov. 20 in the UK, Nov. 27 in the US and Nov 28 worldwide.

It has been a while since I’ve heard a new One Direction single and this news about “Heartbreaker” and a new album has definitely excited. One problem though - November is so far away! I am also looking forward to Ed Sheeran’s songs on the album!
