One Direction have taken America by storm, becoming the first UK band to top the charts with their debut record this week.
And wherever they go it seems rival British boyband The Wanted are following closely behind.
The boys left the fun and frolics behind them in Las Vegas and took their tour to New York with an intimate show on Friday night, just a couple of weeks after the One Direction boys were in the city.
The Wanted jetted into the Big Apple straight from their raucous time during Spring Break in Nevada.
And they set about getting straight to work as they performed for a crowd at the iHeartRadio Theater, exclusively for Z-100 listeners.
But while One Direction were celebrating their triumph in the US charts, The Wanted were still being awarded themselves.
The five-piece received an award at the venue for the one millionth sale of their single Glad You Came.

Max George, Siva Kaneswaran, Jay McGuiness, Tom Parker and Nathan Sykes all posed with presenter Dougie Meyer as they held up the award to mark them going platinum.
Dressed in a range of casual attire ranging from jeans to T-shirts and checked shirts, the five-piece band then took to the stage to entertain the crowds at the private gig.
One million records: The boys were handed an award to celebrate their single Glad You Came going platinum in America
And they were clearly pleased with their reception as they walked out of the venue with large grins on their faces.
As they were greeted by fans outside, the boys made their getaway after the successful show.
And they tweeted afterwards: 'Heres to you #GladYouCamePlatinum #forthefans love you all x
'What an incredibly special evening. Truly incredible. So thankful for our #TWFanmiIy and everyone who has supported us. #GLADYOUCAME.'
Giving it their all: The boys have been promoting themselves in America at the same time as fellow British boyband One Direction
It appears they're having the times of their lives as they battle to promote themselves Stateside after flying into NYC straight from Sin City.

They certainly had an eventful time in Las Vegas, partying with bikini-clad girls for Spring Break and seeing their single Glad You Came climb to number three on the Billboard singles chart.

The boyband were seen looking in very good spirits as they hugged their female fans at the airport as they left the city before making their way on to the aeroplane.
