With their infectious tunes and laddish charms, The Wanted have stamped all over the typical boy band mould and brought a blast of much-needed fresh air to pop music as scenes of mass hysteria at airports, radio stations and TV studios have become commonplace wherever they go. Along with a top 3 single on the Billboard chart, The Wanted have also hit number 1 on the Canadian iTunes® chart.
This incredible rise to worldwide stardom has been boosted by support from some of the most influential TV and radio shows, with performance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Chelsea Lately Show and MTV’s Spring Break in Las Vegas. The band’s debut North American single ‘Glad You Came’ has had a total radio audience of more than 50 million people, being played on over 160 pop stations. The Wanted is the first boy band to hit the top 10 on the radio airplay chart in the US since the Backstreet Boys.
You can also catch The Wanted as they perform their smash hit single “Glad You Came” Thursday, April 5 on American Idol!
The Wanted’s EP will be available as both a standard 7-track and special edition 10-track package and for their super fans, a limited edition ultimate fan pack including the special edition disc and exclusive t-shirt will also be in stores April 24th.
