The Wanted’s Official Top 10 Biggest Selling Singles Revealed

As the boys kick off the US leg of their tour – their last shows before they go on hiatus – we take a look at the biggest hits of their career.

We’re at an All Time Low, as there’s soon to be a Heart Vacancy when it comes to boybands. And although we’re Glad They Came and that they’re Chasing The Sun to follow their dreams, we’re really going to miss The Wanted. (No more song title-based puns, please – Humour Ed)

After ten Top 10s, including two chart-toppers, Max, Tom, Siva, Jay and Nathan have decided to put The Wanted on hold while they pursue other projects. The fivesome have just completed the UK leg of their Word Of Mouth tour and are now in the States giving their fans across the pond the chance to say goodbye.

In celebration of their stellar pop hits, we thought we’d take a look at their Top 10 biggest sellers. Which Wanted track was the most wanted of all? Is your fave at the top of the list?

Coming out in front is the band’s second Number 1 single Glad You Came, which topped the Official Singles Chart for two weeks back in July 2011. It was the band’s fourth Top 10 hit and is their biggest selling track in the UK, shifting 590,000 copies. It sold over 115,000 copies in its first week on sale alone, making it also their fastest-selling single.

Behind it, with over 495,000 copies sold is the song that started it all – All Time Low. Their first ever single went straight in at the top of the Official Singles Chart, knocking off Yolanda Be Cool vs D Cup’s dance anthem We No Speak Americano. It spent a week at the top before being deposed by Ne-Yo’s Beautiful Monster.

Coming up in third is Glad You Came’s follow-up, Lightning. The track went straight in at Number 2 in October 2011 and has sold over 280,000 copies. It was stopped in its quest for Number 1 by Rihanna’s massive million-seller We Found Love FT Calvin Harris.

Rihanna must have had quite an impression on the boys – their 2013 hit dedicated to the way Rihanna struts, Walks Like Rihanna, comes in seventh in the countdown, with over 205,000 copies sold.

Rounding off The Wanted’s top selling big five are 2012’s Number 2 hit Chasing The Sun (4) and, in fifth place, it’s their second single Heart Vacancy, a Number 2 hit in 2010.
