The Wanted

As The Wanted announce their plans to take a break from the music scene as a group, we take a look back at some of our favourite moments involving the five cheeky band members.

This isn't an out and out split, so fans shouldn't worry. It's simply a hiatus while the group members pursue solo projects, and there's always the possibility and probability that they'll join together once again in the future to release more smash hits.

So without further ado, our top ten moments of The Wanted...

Nathan's comeback at Capital FM's Summertime Ball in 2013

There was nothing more exciting than when Nathan appeared on stage through a tiny hatch and belted out some terrific vocals after undergoing major surgery on his vocal chords. The fandom had shivers for days.

Their American breakthrough with 'Glad You Came'

TWFanmily couldn't be prouder when the fivesome peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 with 'Glad You Came', breaking boyband records in the process. It went on to sell over two million copies and shot the group to stardom in the States.

Their first number one and debut single 'All Time Low'

We didn't really know of the group until we heard the unique and infectious 'All Time Low' being played on every radio station at every opportunity, and it was that which saw hundreds of thousands of fans fall in love with the stars, catapulting them to fame and getting them to where they are today.

Their People's Choice Award for Favourite Breakout Artist in 2013

They were up against some super strong competition, but fans of the group managed to secure them the People's Choice award for Favourite Breakout Artist in 2013, as they raced against rival boyband One Direction for votes.

Their reality series The Wanted Life

The Wanted Life gave us a slice of the action, drama and daily deliberations the group go through while trying to balance their working lives with their personal, and it was exciting to be allowed where fans never gained access to before.

Their visit to The White House

Also captured on the show was their visit to The White House where the five lads met Michelle Obama and also performed in front of the President and First Lady. Michelle confirmed she was a big fan of the guys, leaving them stunned.

Their American Music Awards performance of 'I Found You' in 2012

The vocals were constantly on-point, the energy was high and they couldn't have been happier to be sharing the stage with some fantastic artists of 2012. America gave them a chance, and it paid off in a big way.

Their 'Glad You Came' performance on The Ellen Show

Ellen promised us that we'd be hearing a lot from the guys in the States, and she wasn't lying. The guys performed on American television for the first time on the popular show and delighted fans as they ran into the audience while performing.

Their arena tour 'The Code'

Their first arena tour was one of major substance, with hit after hit and stunning renditions of their album tracks as well as covers of other popular songs being belted out by the talented group.

Their official Comic Relief single in 2011 - 'Gold Forever'

The stunning ballad was a great moment for The Wanted as they secured more fans across the UK and a deal which made 'Gold Forever' the official 2011 Comic Relief track.

We will miss hearing updates about The Wanted, but we're looking forward to seeing just where Max, Jay, Siva, Tom and Nathan end up next!
