The Wanted – Most Anticipated Albums of 2013

The Wanted sure have some patient fans.

The boy band's last album in the U.K., 'Battleground,' dropped way back in Nov. 2011, and their U.S., self-titled EP dropped back in April 2012. Their sophomore LP 'Third Strike' was originally due out in December of 2012, so why the delay?

Jay McGuinness and Siva Kaneswaran told Billboard that the LP wasn't totally done, but it should be out come April 2013 -- just in time to release some sweet summer jams!  It's also rumored that the guys will team up with big names like Rita Ora, Justin Bieber, Chris Brown and LMFAO on 'Third Strike.'

But good things do come to those who wait. Prior to their 'New Year’s Rockin’ Eve' performance, the Wanted said that they could possibly release a second full-length towards the end of 2013.

C'mon guys! Get your acts together and release those album(s)!
