Boy band One Direction, whose last album was 2013's top seller, Monday announced a November release for their latest record and streamed a free single to whet fans' appetites.

The British heartthrobs' fourth album - entitled, simply, Four - will go on sale on November 17. In a message to fans on their website, One Direction offered free downloads for one day of the first track, entitled "Fireproof."

"Fireproof" stays largely true to One Direction's style, with light guitar-based pop backing up multiple singers, avoiding the heavier sound the band flirted on their last album, Midnight Memories.

Midnight Memories sold 4 million copies worldwide last year, making it the most-bought album of 2013 even though it was released in late November.

On October 11-12, a film of one of the band's concerts in Italy - called Where We Are, after the name of their tour - will air in cinemas around the world, following up on One Direction's documentary film This Is Us last year.
