Harry Styles and his pals are scheduled to perform on April 7 with "Modern Family" actress Sofia Vergara serving as a host. The Gloria Delgado-Pritchett depicter confirmed the gig on Twitter, tweeting, "Yes!! Very exited!!"
The news came hot on heels of One Direction's notable mark on Billboard Hot 100. They climbed up to No. 28 on the U.S. single chart with their single "What Makes You Beautiful". Back then, it marked the highest debut for any U.K. act since Jimmy Ray landed at No. 26 fourteen years ago.
The boyband fever continued to hit the nation when their peers from The Wanted charted higher by climbing up to No. 4 on Hot 100. Nathan Sykes and his friends broke the top 5 list through their catchy single "Glad You Came".
