In the 1960s， The Beatles and other pop and rock groups became popular in the United States in a cultural takeover known as the British Invasion. Today they have One Direction， which became the first band to have all four of its releases debut at number one on the American album chart， and fellow boy band The Wanted reached number three on America’s Billboard Hot 100 after the TV show Glee featured one of its songs.
20世纪60年代，披头士和其他流行、摇滚乐队在美国风靡一时，被称作英国的文化入侵。如今，美国人迷恋单向乐队，这是第一支连续四张专辑首发就占据了美国各大专辑排行榜榜首的乐队！其他类似的男团还有万人迷乐团，在电视节目《欢乐合唱团》翻唱了他们的一首歌之后，此歌就一跃成为美国公告牌百强单曲榜第三名。
