One Direction is getting the "Glee" treatment! The boy band -- whose debut album Up All Night just became the first record ever by a British artist to debut at the top of the Billboard charts -- will be covered by the "Glee" cast in an upcoming episode. They've made it to the big time!

The 'X Factor' U.K. finalists' smash single "What Makes You Beautiful" is the song set to be featured on the hit musical show, as "Glee" star Matthew Morrison revealed to U.K.'s The Sun. ''I've just heard of them, they're really taking over the States. We are covering one of their songs on 'Glee' -- 'What Makes You Beautiful,'" the actor, who plays glee club instructor Mr. Schuester, revealed.

Morrison admitted he's not that familiar with the new boy band's material just yet, saying, "I need to YouTube it to practice.''

Morrison went on to suggest that the band's "Glee" treatment will certainly help bolster their sales -- not that they really needed it.''They've made it now though, they're on 'Glee,'" he joked, adding, ''This will probably help their record sales, too.''
