About The Wanted
Success has come quickly for The Wanted with a highly popular headlining show at New York's Gramercy Theater followed by a sold-out 10-city promotional tour of the U.S.  Their popular single "Glad You Came" on Mercury Records blasted onto the Billboard Hot 100's Top 10 chart, and with top Digital Gainer honors, the single also jumped to #1 with a bullet on the Top 40 Airplay chart and #2 on the Billboard Hot Digital Songs Chart. Television appearances on Ellen and Chelsea Lately bolstered by a feature placement on FOX's Glee for the group's premiere U.S. single "Glad You Came" combined to kick the song to #2 on the U.S. iTunes chart . Their latest single, "Chasing the Sun" has also chased its way to #1 on the Billboard radio dance charts. After invading the states, this popular British-Irish band has reached a total radio audience of more than 60 million on more than 160 pop stations.  The group has also recently performed on the The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, NBC's The Today Show, ABC's The View, Fox's American Idol and NBC's The Voice and headlined this year's second annual mtvU Spring Break 2012 in Las Vegas.
