The Wanted Perform 'Glad You Came,' 'Chasing The Sun' On 'Today'

NEW YORK — The Wanted made their "Today" show debut on Tuesday (April 24), the day of their debut U.S. EP release.

The fans' energy was predictably high when the guys stepped outside to the famed Rockefeller Plaza. Before their scheduled performance, the group greeted their devoted female legion of fans, who had made up signs to welcome the guys to the show.

All five fellas happily took the time to pose with fans and sign autographs in the moments leading up to their performance. Then they sang not only their chart-topping track "Glad You Came" but also their new single, "Chasing the Sun."

"We've done two albums so we're trying to catch people up in America," Wanted member Tom Parker told co-host Ann Curry about the EP, their first official Stateside release. They then launched into "Glad," clad in leather jackets and displaying their boy-band bravado.

After they left the stage, they shared with MTV News that they were thankful to all the people who showed up. "It was average at best," Jay McGuiness joked about the performance, teasing that "Chasing the Sun" was a "hot mess like Lindsay Lohan."

The "Today" show was the first of many media appearances the Wanted will make on Tuesday, leading up to their "MTV First" special airing tonight at 7:53 p.m. on MTV. They will sit down with MTV News' Sway Calloway to debut the "Chasing the Sun" video and chat.
