The Wanted are the latest UK pop sensations to hit America.

The band’s self-titled EP and its smash single, “Glad You Came,” are both on the US charts while the band continues to attract fans.

Earlier this week, The Wanted took over the FUSE studios for an interview and live performance before a packed house.

One of the things the guys discussed was the topic of being labeled a ‘boy band.’

“That is what we are,” said Jay McGuiness. “We’re not a rock band. We don’t play rock music. Some people think that [a boy band] means you lip sync or dance incredibly well. We do none of those.”

The Wanted are in New York this week to promote their self-titled EP.

On Wednesday, the guys stopped by ABC’s The View to perform their smash hit, “Glad You Came.”

The UK vocal group recently became the first boy band to rule Billboard's Pop Songs chart with a debut single since Hanson spent eight weeks at #1 with "MMMBop" in 1997.

"We never thought we'd get the opportunity to even come over here and have a chance to let people hear our music," the Wanted - Max George, Siva Kaneswaran, Jay McGuiness, Tom Parker and Nathan Syke - recently told Billboard of its budding stateside success. "Thankfully, they like it."
