Round 1 of our Battle of the Bands poll is officially over, and your votes resulted in a semi-finals matchup that'll require some TOUGH decisions: It's One Direction vs. 5 Seconds of Summer!

The Aussie pop-punk group trounced British pop-rockers Rixton, winning in a landslide with just over 78% of the votes. The 5SOS fandom is no joke, and with the band's Sounds Good Feels Good album mere weeks away, they've got plenty to be excited about.

You know who else has got a much-anticipated album in the works? One Direction. They've just shared the track list to their fifth studio album, Made in the A.M., amid warm reception for the album's first two singles, "Drag Me Down" and "Infinity." And while the band will take a hiatus in 2016 (*sniffle*), we're willing to bet they've got some memorable things planned as a group over the next few months. Oh, and an album to listen to over and over again.

Yep, this is definitely a tough one. Especially given the fact that they're both enormously talented contenders — who are friends with each other. 1D were early champions of the "She Looks So Perfect" band, choosing them as an opening act on the Take Me Home Tour. Only you know who your very favorite is, so make sure to make your vote count.

The poll closes on Oct. 26 at 5 PM ET. Happy voting!

UPDATE: This poll has now ended. Congratulations, One Direction! Now head on over to vote in the final round: One Direction vs. 2NE1.
