I'm glad the boys have done well in USA with "glad you came". Its hard for UK boybands to crack the American charts but the Wanted are a bit different to most UK boybands and their sound is more credible than the likes of One Direction, Westlife etc.

Some sales predictions from Billboard:

 

fun.'s "We Are Young" (featuring Janelle Monae), looks like it will continue to be the U.S.' top-selling song, with industry sources suggesting it will shift around 270,000 to 300,000 downloads. Kelly Clarkson's current Hot 100 No. 1, "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)," will like sell another 200,000 to 240,000.

 

The Wanted's "Glad You Came" will continue to build, after its explosive sales this past week. It jumped from 101,000 to 188,000 (up 87% according to Nielsen SoundScan) after it was covered on the Feb. 21 "Glee." This week, it could move even more. It's aiming for around 200,000 to 220,000

The Wanted .

 

Basking in the glow of its current top five Billboard Hot 100 single "Glad You Came," the Wanted announced via Twitter today (March 5) that its debut U.S. album will be released on April 24.

 

 

 

While the effort's title and track list has yet to be revealed, it will presumably include "Glad You Came," which vaulted from No. 23 to No. 5 on last week's Hot 100 chart after it was covered on the Feb. 21 episode of "Glee."

 

 

 

The quintet has released two albums in its home base of the U.K. -- both of which have reached the top five on the Official U.K. Albums chart. It's unclear if their U.S. debut will comprise tracks from both albums.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On Feb. 29, the group's Jay McGuiness told DigitalSpy.com that they had been recording new songs with OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder for possible inclusion on the album.

 

 

 

While he couldn't confirm anything, he said "My guess would be we'll take some songs from the first album, some from the second and add some new ones in too, just so everyone is on the same page."

 

 

 

The group (Max George, Siva Kaneswaran, McGuiness, Tom Parker and Nathan Sykes) is currently touring the U.K. and Ireland, but will return to the U.S. for a series of promotional appearances as the album's release nears. They will play "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" on March 20, mtvU's spring break festivities on April 2, NBC's "Today Show" on April 24 and ABC's "The View" on April 25.

 

 

 

Signed to Mercury Records in America, the Wanted made its American TV debut on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on Jan. 10 and has been blowing up the Billboard charts ever since. "Glad You Came" bowed on the Hot 100 and Pop Songs airplay charts dated Jan. 28. This week, the track rises one slot to No. 9 on the latter tally. (The new Hot 100 ranking will be revealed on Wednesday, March 7.)

AHem... Anyway, looking forward to hearing new tracks if there are any!

Their best album cover yet (but that's not hard :lol: )

 

Also looking forward to the new tracks. :wub:

'Gold Forever' hits US iTunes next Tuesday! Slightly too soon for my liking with Glad You Came not yet peaking on airplay and I would've gone with 'Lightning' but hopefully it can start selling on the back of the GYC success and US fans buying it to secure a 2nd Hot 100 placing.

 

Actually, they said that today on Twitter but two days ago they said;

We'll release a US version on 3/20 as part if Complete My Album on @iTunesMusic! Each week we'll release a song before the release on 4/24!

 

So it might just be a promo single.

But if the song does extremely well thye might consider releasing it as a proper single eventually.

For me, Gold Forever is their second best to ATL so I'm glad it's getting released state side.

Is it 'US friendly' though? Whatever that means.

Is The Wanted's US album a self-titled one then? And do we have a tracklist for it yet? I suspect it'll just be a Taio-esque mix of the first 2 albums.

Edited by Bréyhound

It is self-titled but no tracklist yet. I'm expecting it to feature all the UK singles, a couple of album tracks and at least a couple of new tracks - Ryan Tedder is the latest name that I've heard they've been working with.
Gold forever is quite weak compared with the rest of their singles from Battleground. Most of the other album tracks are in fact stronger.

Here's the tracklist:

 

STANDARD VERSION

01 Glad You Came

02 Chasing The Sun

03 All Time Low

04 Satellite

05 Lightning

06 Heart Vacancy

07 Gold Forever

 

DELUXE VERSION

08 Lose My Mind

09 Warzone

10 Rocket

 

There are two new songs. They have could have selected better songs imo. Most of the songs on the list wouldn't be considered radio friendly.

Only 7 songs for the standard edition of the album and 10 for the deluxe? That doesnt seem right surely.

The Wanted posted the tracklist on twitter. I'm guessing it's an EP.

Pretty much what I expected, the singles + an album track ('Rocket', which is one of my personal favourites) and a couple of new tracks. 'Chasing The Sun' seems to be the Example-written track, don't know about 'Satellite' but what a great title. :kink:

 

'Chasing The Sun' premieres April 17th and it seems like it could be the new single in either the UK, US or both.

The Wanted have confirmed that Chasing The Sun is the new single, Tom said it's "Glad You Came Part 2)
