I think inspite of myself I might actually quite like this song. :( In spite of the bad/try-hard lyrics and concept.

 

They're probably up to their 14th minute now anyway. I predict 3 more top 10s for them maximum.

'Walks Like Rihanna' is quite inoffensive. Ouch at it missing the top 3 (but HOORAY at will.i.am overtaking it, absolutely obsessed with 'Bang Bang' right now).

OUCH! With all the hype and airplay this song had, #4 is a flop. I remember at the start of the week predicting it to go to #2. Let's place bets on when The Wanted will announce they've split up. I'll start:

 

October 2014

Westlife, Boyzone, JLS, Take That and One Direction have all had a time in their career when they'd be more or less guaranteed a #1. The Wanted haven't. That's all I'm saying.

 

They've still had more top 5 hits than both of the bolded acts, 8 top 5's is still quite an achievement, though I'm sure they've not got long left in them.

 

Walks Like Rihanna is DIRE - is this them 'trying something new'? I think I'd prefer another Glad You Came clone :lol:

THIS :wub:

 

Walks Like Rihanna is actually pretty catchy, it's starting to grow on me

So, Michael has been proven wrong. #4 is not that bad for the boys! ^_^

First entry by The Wanted to peak in the top 10 but not reach the top 3!

Westlife, Boyzone, JLS, Take That and One Direction have all had a time in their career when they'd be more or less guaranteed a #1. The Wanted haven't. That's all I'm saying.

 

I think 'Glad You Came' was a fairly obvious guaranteed #1 at the time, although we all know they won't be coming close to those heights again.

February 2015.

BANG BANG :wub: :wub:

 

I'm not even a will.i.am fan but I'm OBSESSED with this song! :heart:

'Walks Like Rihanna' and 'Bang Bang' are both utterly horrible.

 

The Wanted's chart run should be interesting...

This is quite possibly Will.i.am's worst yet. And that's saying something.

:cheer: Glad "Bang Bang" made it to #3 and blocked The Wanted. :wub:

When is he not wrong? :lol:

"It's in Glee" (My inner Glee loon is fangirling right now :D) *points to signature*

 

I Love It :wub:

What is that Redhead girl wearing? :o

Bang Bang sounds a bit like Audio Bullys' Shot You Down & Gramophonedzie's Why Don't You from a few years back.
