o1 - I'm Glad You Came

The United States is in the midst of another British invasion. Well, not technically, because it’s only one band. But this band is capable of so much greatness. This band that I speak of is The Wanted, and they are the English and Irish lads taking the US music charts by storm. Formed in 2009, The Wanted have had three number one hits in the UK and are now breaking all sorts of records in America with their single “Glad You Came”. The most recent article featured on BBC about the British boy band talks about how The Wanted are essentially the most successful boy band from the UK in US history. They have the highest climbing single on the US music charts, and Glad You Came recently went platinum in America as well. The article stated that Glad You Came has been played on over one hundred and sixty stations across the country. Having been a fan since early December 2011, before Glad You Came became popular among the majority of the country, I truly feel like a “proud mother” watching The Wanted grow and gain so much success. They have recently ended their first US tour with plans to come back in the summer. The Wanted have also appeared on Ellen, The Tonight Show, and Chelsea Lately. Also, Glad You Came was featured in a recent episode of Glee and they have performed for MTV’s Spring Break in Florida. Finally, the boys are scheduled to perform on the April 5^th episode of American Idol. The Wanted are releasing an album in the US which will be a compilation of their first two UK albums, and will also feature two new previously unreleased songs. Also featured in the article I read, band member Max George compares their success to football (or as we Americans call it, soccer). He states “It feels like City have just reached the final of the FA Cup. Now we just need to win it." I couldn’t be more proud or ecstatic about the success of The Wanted in America!
