December 31, 201113 yr CD singles tend to be more popular for some artists than others. It would have been nice for them to have released one for "warzone" to help boost sales but it doesnt surprise me that they havent because "lose my mind" never saw one from the first album. I am disappointed the album hasnt gone platinum considering they have already had 4 singles off the album but perhaps they should have released the album on the back of the success of "glad you came", rather than waiting until "lightning".

I forgot about Lose My Mind not having one, I always wondered why that CD was missing from my collection!
December 31, 201113 yr Lose My Mind had an x factor performance, and three others on TV, they gave it a cover, promoted it heavily and there was a physical copy ready to be made but was cancelled at the last minute (<if I remember right :/) Amazon seems to have some lose my mind physicals available now too, for those missing them from the collection XD Although with LMM they did do the promo a month before it was released and then just let it maintain it's position during christmas, maybe with Warzone they will let it get to wherever tomorrow and then maintain/raise it's position in the charts by promoting it in january? ie, a month later? Same thing but backwards.
December 31, 201113 yr Lose My Mind randomly had a CD single release in Germany, so that filled the gap in my collection. Warzone ruins it! :P Only midweek #20 yesterday.
December 31, 201113 yr I noticed that they released a physical copy in Germany aha, it didn't even chart there :S I fail to see the point in that little exercise :P

Really shocked the haven't gone platinum, having released 4 singles and had massive radio support. Just like The Saturdays their popularity is a myth.
December 31, 201113 yr I don't include 'Gold Forever' as a proper single from this album. It was a Comic Relief novelty song, and only got added on at the end of the albums tracklisting purely because they'd already recorded it. They launched their debut with two singles, why would they need three singles for their second album? Glad You Came was the first single in the summer (like All Time Low) then Lightning launched the album in October (like Heart Vacancy) and Warzone is now the December/January post-album single (like Lose My Mind).
December 31, 201113 yr Really shocked the haven't gone platinum, having released 4 singles and had massive radio support. Just like The Saturdays their popularity is a myth. I have always thought they would've sold more if they didn't spend so much time insulting people/getting into fights at charity events/obsessing about how big they will be in the states and worked a little harder on selling their product. I do like them btw, even though I just had a mini-rant ;) Edited December 31, 201113 yr by seanopop
December 31, 201113 yr I think their album has merely done ok, but it's obviously not done amazingly well. According to Vidcapper it's on 211.5k after 7 weeks on sale. That's slightly up on their debut album, which sold 181.7k in the same time frame. Their debut grew to well over 400k eventually, but I doubt this second album will do the same.
January 1, 201213 yr The album is doing ok but nothing major, i did expect it to better as the whole era started of strong with glad you came doing so well, lightning didnt push album sales as strong as expected i suspect and warzone isnt doing much as a single or much for the album either, on saying that it shud easily go platnum eventually and i think i read its getting a re release so that will bump it up.
January 1, 201213 yr When they announced the original version they also announced there was going to be another 2012 re-release with the seven extra songs that they advertised and then removed from the original. So yeah, when that comes out it will probably push this to platinum.
January 1, 201213 yr The wanted have arguably had one of the best promotion this year performing on the xFactor and Strictly Come Dancing which many acts would kill for. I still think Battleground will pass 400,000+ as The Wanted have announced a deluxe version will be released next year.
January 10, 201213 yr I didn't think the performance was great but it helped. By that I mean about a 200 place climb on US iTunes into the top 250. edit: another check and it's now top 200! 104! Edited January 10, 201213 yr by Jáhq
January 11, 201213 yr #65 now.... pity taht Cowell got Tinie Tempah and Leona Lewis on X Factor and that did nothing for their success in the US!
January 11, 201213 yr Wow, I would have never thought The Wanted would be the ones to make it big in the US out of the British pop scene. Well, they haven't done it "big" yet, but the fact they got a slot on Ellen is quite impressive.
January 11, 201213 yr Wait 3 number one hits? I thought the only songs to go number one was All Time Low & Glad You Came? 66. The Wanted - Glad You Came. That Performance was awful.
