The Wanted are taking over America. Their single "Glad You Came" is a certified hit, and they've even amassed enough U.S. exposure to get covered on "Glee" and tour with Justin Bieber.

The British fivesome (along with fellow Brit boy banders One Direction, who are also getting love Stateside) are proving that the new millennium is ready for a new crop of boy bands.

When the Wanted stopped by MTV News while they were in the U.S. for their tour, they played a little Boy Band Pop Quiz with us, and they did surprisingly well! See for yourselves ...
