One of Britain’s most popular boy bands is making a splash in the States. The Wanted is a group comprised of 5 members: Max, Nathan, Tom, Jay, and Siva. They may be known by some United States fans as the group that opened up for Justin Bieber or Britney Spears, but they are now making a name for themselves.

Picked up by Scooter Braun here in America, their first U.S. television appearance was on The Ellen Degeneres Show in January. Since then, they have been on a whirlwind tour of the country. They have performed for sold out crowds, including one in New York City. Using social media and the internet as a launching pad, the band has seen a steady increase in their fan base and have been nothing but thankful for their new fans. While on the road, The Wanted has been hitting the local radio stations as well as national radio shows such as Kidd Kraddick in the Morning and Ryan Seacrest, promoting their single “Glad You Came”. They will be on Chelsea Lately this upcoming Wednesday.

During their interview with Ryan Seacrest Monday morning, The Wanted had major news for their fans. The hit show Glee is going to be covering “Glad You Came” in an upcoming episode. We all know how Glee helps boost recognition for the musicians they cover (Fun’s “We Are Young”) and so this is a great platform for The Wanted to potentially become the next big thing in America.
