Zayn Malik may not be part of One Direction anymore, but that doesn't mean his career's over. RCA Records and Syco Music announced today that they'll be releasing the pop star's first solo record. 

“Zayn’s a genius songwriter with an incredible voice, and we are proud to have him join our roster of iconic superstars," Peter Edge and Tom Corson of RCA said in a statement. "We are thrilled he has entrusted us to deliver his personal artistic vision to millions of his fans across the globe.”

Meanwhile, One Direction are still the most successful group on the planet, having sold over 54 million records wordwide. And for that, let's watch them learn how to do the Nae Nae/Whip with two charismatic fans.
