To breakthrough internationally, The Wanted went on a short promotional radio and club tour of the United States, touring between January 17th and February 8, 2012. The success of the 10-date tour led to the group's official release of their debut American single, Glad You Came. It peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and has since sold over 3 million copies in the US. Their American EP, The Wanted: The EP was released in April of 2012 and it debuted at number seven in the US and number eight in Canada.
