The Wanted: 'Shocked by US success' The Wanted have revealed they didn't think they were going to crack America because they always say such "ridiculous comments" and are "not well media trained." The band admitted they were worried the US wouldn't like their rough around the edges style and so are surprised by their success. The boys are the first British boy band to hit the US top 3 since Take that reached number 7 with Back for Good in 1995. This week The Wanted announced they will be performing live on the Jay Leno show later this month.
