Cheery Niall Horan enjoys a late night on the town without One Direction bandmates... as it's announced Made In The AM has topped UK albums chart 

The new One Direction album has soared to the top of charts and been named the UK's fastest selling record of 2015.

So Niall Horan was no doubt in the mood to celebrate as he headed out to a West Hollywood nightclub on Thursday night - although his three bandmates did not join in the party.

The Perfect hitmakers had spent the earlier half of the evening appearing on US chat show Jimmy Kimmel Live, so the 22-year-old Irish hunk was clearly ready to let his hair down.

Niall opted to stay in the same ensemble he sported on the chat show - looking effortlessly stylish in a patterned shirt and cool black skinny jeans. 

His famous blonde quiff was at an all-time high as he pushed the hair of his face into a tall, stylishly messy do. 

Clearly having a great time, Niall was joined by a host of male and female pals and the group shared a joke before the Irish heartthrob piled into a car to head to his next destination.

Made in the AM has been named the fastest-selling album of 2015 after soaring to the top of the UK album charts upon its release last week.

The record, which has been released in conjunction with the group's new hit Perfect, sold an eye-watering 93,189 copies in its first week.

Niall revealed that Jimmy's dad had followed the One Direction boys into the toilet to ask for autographs.

And it led to the late night talk show host admitting that his family have been such big fans of Niall that they even get a cake to celebrate his birthday every year.

'I just met your dad in the toilet and he asked me to sign,' Niall said with a giant smile after Kimmel asked if any famous people ever asked for their autographs.

Blonde ambition: His famous blonde quiff was at an all-time high as he pushed the hair of his face into a tall, stylishly messy do.

Niall insisted Jimmy's dad had followed him in there, and the interviewer first seemed to think he was joking.

'You know I told my dad to stop hanging around the toilet,' Jimmy said, asking: 'Did he do that thing under the stall where he taps your foot?' 

After their appearance, the band played two songs on the show - Perfect and History - with more available to watch online later.

Jimmy said the screaming fans made 'an unruly crowd,' adding: 'Our audience department had to threaten to cancel the show to get them to calm down this afternoon.' 

Hometime? Clearly having a great time, Niall was joined by a host of male and female pals and the group shared a joke before the Irish heartthrob piled into a car to head to his next destination
