April 7, 201213 yr I don't see many similarities to 'Glad You Came', to be honest. :P I expected something with faux-accordion instrumental but there wasn't! Really good dancey track, proper 8/10 at least.
April 7, 201213 yr Oh that's VERY Glad You Came. I'm not sure it's a very wise decision to release that after GYC in the US with such similar sounds. Also, it's an OK song but it sounds like it should be an Example song (obviously) and I don't think his style suits a group of singers.Doesn't harm LMFAO/David Guetta from getting success, does it? :P Anyway. It's even more dull than 'Glad You Came', imo. I never got into that song and I still sort of don't see the fuss personally. Nice to see them doing well in America though :)
April 10, 201213 yr The Wanted have confirmed the name of their second official US single. The boyband will release 'Heart Vacancy' as the next cut to be lifted from their debut self-titled EP in America. The Wanted EP will also include their global hit 'Glad You Came', UK debut single 'All Time Low' and new song 'Chasing The Sun'. The seven-track collection will be released through Def Jam in the United States on April 24. An extended bonus track edition will include a further three songs. 'Heart Vacancy' was originally released in the UK as The Wanted's second official single back in October 2010. The track peaked at number two on the UK chart
April 10, 201213 yr Career suicide complete if that's true. That's the WORST possible choice, even Warzone would be better than that :huh:
April 10, 201213 yr Official US single? That's crazy, couldn't see it doing much. Especially when they're performing on The Voice in the US next week and I read they were going to sing 'Chasing The Sun' which would be the logical option [they've now filmed the video for it]. 471. Heart Vacancy - The Wanted This is off to a worse start on US iTunes than 'Lightning' or 'Glad You Came' so it seems clear that it shouldn't be a single.
April 10, 201213 yr Heart Vacancy is a ridiculous decision. I like it but it's their worst single by MILES! All Time Low, Lightning and Lose My Mind are legions above it.
April 15, 201213 yr In Musicweek this week, an article on the Wanted stated that there will be a new album by end of the year. I do wonder if they will re-release battleground or focus on a new album now!
April 15, 201213 yr Very odd decision. 'Chasing The Sun' would surely be the most logical choice at this stage - they could make a big deal about it being a 'transatlantic hit' at the same time (assuming it did well, of course). 'Heart Vacancy' though? Doesn't scream Hot 100 to me.
April 15, 201213 yr The Wanted have committed US CAREER SUICIDE. They will not recover. Terrible choice. :(
April 18, 201213 yr I don't know where the news that 'Heart Vacancy' would be the US single officially stemed from - I don't think I saw them confirm it on Twitter and it just seemed like some source mistaking 'promo single' for a proper single. The fact that they performed 'Chasing The Sun' on The Voice certainly suggests that will be the single [along with the fact it's now higher on iTunes than the other promo singles got & has got a small amount of airplay]. ATWkkb0IL7Q Not claiming that this is amazing but I prefer it to the American Idol performance.
April 19, 201213 yr I know One Direction have done amazing and had the number 1 album in US etc...but The Wanted have been used on Glee, and have had performances on American Idol and now The Voice. The 3 biggest shows in the US. Pretty amazing really. Never would have believed that if you'd told me a year ago... Oh, and Chasing the Sun is quite clearly going to be the next single. Regardless of what's been said or quoted I think it's quite obvious that it won't be Heart Vacancy. If so, their label would be top class mugs.
April 20, 201213 yr Really excited to announce we're performing #ChasingTheSun for the first time in the UK on Britain's Got Talent on Monday 7th May!! #TWonBGT The song's really growing on me - obviously it was created for the US after "Glad You Came"'s success, but it's nice that the UK will get something to tide us over until the next album (which is hopefully a lot better than the past two - they have so much potential, but their albums are incredibly patchy).
April 24, 201213 yr Was hoping for a Lena cover but ALAS. Average as their output usually is. And God that artwork really is horrendous isn't it?
April 24, 201213 yr I'm disappointed with satelite. Its not as strong as a lot of the tracks on battleground. Bit of a step back really.
