They might have taken the US by storm, a rarity for a British boy band, but it would appear that The Wanted's Stateside success has also given them delusions of grandeur.
Because according to the five lads, they - along with One Direction - are just like the Beatles!
Member Tom Parker has compared the scenes they face of screaming girls when they arrive in the US to those witnessed during the Fab Fours heyday which was known as 'Beatlemania'.
Speaking to Bang Showbiz, he said: "It's Beatlemania for both boy bands, really. The whole boy band thing has really come back. Us and One Direction have gone over to America and are literally just tearing it apart. The whole boy band thing is really alive and it's good that it's two British acts doing it.''
And when asked if they could team up with any other boy band from any era, he chose the Beatles and added: "If I could bring [the late] John Lennon back, that would be the dream.''
He also thinks that the band's down-to-earth attitude has helped them crack the tough American charts and said: "People in Britain liked the fact that we were very real... We were very 'say what we want' and we wanted to produce the music that we wanted to do.
"And we took it to America and people really liked it. Every radio station was like, 'It's a breath of fresh air to us, we've not seen this realism for so long'."
He's just saying that the hype for boybands is back like when the Beatles were around...
