​As if this week wasn\'t already about to be one of the best of your life thanks to One Direction finally releasing fifth studio album

., Twitter have gone and done something pretty cool to help you with your celebrating.

Say hello, bonjour and CIAO BELLA to 1D\'s official emojis, which are live on the site right now and which mean that if you use a variety of different hashtags in your tweets, you\'ll also get a super cute little emoji pic to go with it. There\'s one for each member in the band plus a special one for the album and a group one too.

That\'s not it though and the even bigger news is that the lads have also partnered with Twitter to launch a global competition to find out once and for all which country in the world is home to the most vocal Directioners. Launching on Saturday at 12AM GMT (that\'s the early hours of Sat morn), it will last just 24 hours and will see 140 countries go head to head in a battle to see who mentions their homeland the most in their tweets about 1D.

To get involved, all you have to do is use your country\'s hashtag in your posts and you can keep track of the results live by visiting madeintheam.com once voting opens.

Best of all is the prize and as well as the honour of knowing the power of your country within the fandom, the top 10 most voted for countries will also then get special emoji added to their hashtags to show your colours with. 

You\'ll have these to yourself until Wednesday when Directioners from all 140 countries will be able to download exclusive 1D avatars and covers from the site to stick on their Twitter profiles. You can find out exactly what your hashtag is over on the website we mentioned above right now, so get to it and be prepared to start tweeting on Saturday. 

Let us know just how excited you are about all of this with a tweet over @Sugarscape way, preferably with your fave out of the new emoji hashtags in there too.
