History

2009–10: Formation, The Wanted and Behind Bars Tour

The group formed in 2009 through mass auditions which saw over 1000 people attend, held by Jayne Collins who also put together The Saturdays and Parade.[3][4] The audition process took over 9 months and originally just George, Parker and Sykes were involved with Kaneswaran and McGuiness joining later through the process. The group revealed in their autobiography that after they were informed of the line-up, seven more people were re-auditioned before they were signed to Maximum Artist Management and Geffen Records.
The group were credited with co-writing five of the thirteen tracks on the album. Their debut single, "All Time Low", was co-written by Steve Mac, who also produced it, Wayne Hector and Ed Drewett. It hit Nº1 in the UK and spent 17 weeks in the UK top 40. The second single "Heart Vacancy" again written with Wayne Hector, was released on 17 October 2010. It peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart. The group's third single from the album was "Lose My Mind" which reached Nº19 in the UK Singles Chart following a performance on The X Factor. The group's debut album, a self-titled release, was released on 25 October 2010 which peaked at Nº4 in the UK and has since been certified as Platinum in the UK. Between 28 March and 15 April 2010, the group embarked on the fifteen date "Behind Bars" theatre tour which saw them play in twelve UK cities. The tour didn't visit Ireland or Northern Ireland. They were supported by Lawson, Twenty Twenty and Starboy Nathan

The album featured writing credits from the group on ten of the fifteen tracks, as well as contributions from Steve Mac, Wayne Hector, Ed Drewett, Diane Warren and Guy Chambers. The album's lead single, "Gold Forever", was released in aid of Comic Relief[5][6] and hit Nº3 on the UK Singles Chart. In July 2011, the group released the album's second single, "Glad You Came", which became their second number-one single, staying there for two weeks, and in the top ten of the chart for six weeks. The single also reached number one in Ireland and remained there for five weeks.[2] The song also charted in some European territories, and was very successful in Australia. The third single from the album, "Lightning", was released on 16 October 2011, peaking at Nº2 in the UK and Nº5 in Ireland. The fourth single, "Warzone", was released on 26 December 2011, with the music video and radio debut coming in early November 2011. On 7 November 2011, the group's second album Battleground, was released. It debuted at Nº5 in the UK and Nº4 in Ireland. It has been certified platinum in the UK. In addition to shows in the United Kingdom including T4 on the Beach, V Festival and the iTunes Festival, the group supported Canadian singer, Justin Bieber in Brazil on 8 and 9 October 2011 and also supported Britney Spears on her Femme Fatale Tour at theManchester Evening News Arena on 6 November 2011. Between 15 February – 9 March 2012, the group embarked on "The Code" tour, to promote the release of the album. The sixteen date arena tour saw the group play in thirteen cities in England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland and Northern Ireland. Known as #TheCodeTour, each concert featured an interactive element that linked to the group's official Facebook and Twitter pages.
In a bid to break the United States, the group went on a short promotional, radio and club tour of the states, touring between 17 January – 8 February 2012 . The success of the 10 date tour saw the group release their debut single in the states, "Glad You Came". It peaked at Nº3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has sold over 3 million copies there. Their debut American EP, The Wanted, was released in April 2012, debuting at Nº7 in the US and #8 in Canada. "Chasing The Sun" was been released as the band's second official single there, peaking at Nº50 on the Hot 100 whilst reaching Nº1 on the Hot Dance Club Songs chart. "Chasing The Sun" was released on 21 May 2012. On 22 May 2012, the band opened and performed at the first Q102's Springle Ball concert.

The group visited Australia and New Zealand, for the promotion of their extended play in August 2012.[7]Following their promotional tour of Australia, the group headed to the United States for a number of promotional concerts.

2012-present: Third Strike

The group began working on their third studio album, Third Strike, in November 2011, shortly after the release of their second album, Battleground, on 4 November. In May 2012, "Chasing The Sun" was released as the album's lead single, and the third single from the band's The Wanted EP in the United States. Around this time, the band also premiered a brand new track, "Satellite". In August 2012, the band filmed a music video in Los Angeles, reportedly for their brand new single, "I Found You". However, when the video for "I Found You" was released in October 2012, a different video was revealed. The band later revealed that the video filmed in Los Angeles would be for another single. "I Found You" was released on 5 November 2012 as the album's second single.[8]
The band confirmed in September 2012 that the album would contain a number of collaborations, including tracks with Pitbull, LMFAO,[9] Chris Brown, Rita Ora[10] and Dappy.[11] In November 2012, the band revealed that the album had been pushed back from the original release of December 3, 2012, to February 2013, at their request; they claimed that the reason behind this was to perfect the album, and tweak out a few insecurities involving certain tracks.
