History
Formation
The name "McFly" was chosen by Tom Fletcher, the band's founding member, based on his love for the American science-fiction comedy Back to the Future series and Michael J. Fox's character Marty McFly.[16] Fletcher had originally auditioned for Busted, but was rejected.[6] He then started writing songs with Busted member James Bourne and was asked to come along to film auditions for a new band, V. Jones came along to the audition and met Fletcher.[17] The two then began collaborating together. Jones and Fletcher moved into the InterContinental Hotel in London for 2 months,[18] and the two began writing songs along with Bourne. Poynter and Judd were subsequently recruited via a classified advert in NME.[6]
Room on the 3rd Floor
McFly's early sound was a mixture of pop and rock. Their debut single, "5 Colours in Her Hair", released 29 March 2004, entered the UK Singles Chart at #1 in April 2004 and stayed there the following week.[19] In July 2004 their second single, "Obviously", also topped the charts.[20] This was followed by the album Room on the 3rd Floor debuting at #1 in the UK Albums Chart.[17] It would go on to be certified double platinum by the British Phonographic Industry.[7] The album broke records, as McFly earned an award from Guinness World Records for being the youngest band to have a debut album enter the charts in the top position, a distinction previously held by The Beatles.[8] The idea for the album name came from where Danny and Tom wrote most of the songs for the album: room 363 in the InterContinental Hotel in London.[18] The third single, "That Girl", was released on 6 September 2004 and lost the battle for the top spot to Brian McFadden's "Real to Me", placing at #3,[21] despite topping midweek sales charts.[22] The fourth single, Room on the 3rd Floor, the album's title track, was released on 15 November 2004 and reached #5.[23] McFly supported Busted on their nationwide arena tour[17] along with V in February 2004 and then had their first headlining tour in September 2004.[9]
Wonderland
In March 2005, McFly released "All About You/You've Got a Friend", a double A-side of their sixth and seventh singles and the first release from their second album, Wonderland, which featured a 60-piece orchestra. The single reached #1 for a week on 13 March 2005[24] and the profits from the single were donated to Comic Relief.[25] The video for "You've Got a Friend" was shot in Uganda, Africa, which McFly visited for the charity appeal.[26][27] Several months later, on 2 July, McFly co-headlined Live8 Japan, with Björk and Good Charlotte.[28][29] The second single from Wonderland, "I'll Be OK", was released in the UK on the 15 August 2005 and scored them their fourth UK #1.[30] The album itself was released on 29 August 2005 entering at #1.[10] The third single from Wonderland, "I Wanna Hold You", was released on 17 October, giving them their sixth top three single, missing out on #1 to Arctic Monkeys.[31] Their fourth and final single, "Ultraviolet/The Ballad of Paul K" from Wonderland was released on 12 December 2005 and reached #9.[32] McFly headlined their Wonderland Arena Tour, which started on 15 September, 2005. A DVD of the tour, recorded live at the MEN Arena in Manchester, was released on 28 November.[33] The band also played at the 2005 Royal Variety Performance.[34]

On 14 September 2006, it was confirmed via an email newsletter from McFly's official website, that the third album would be called Motion in the Ocean.[39] The album was released on 6 November 2006, and reached #6.[11] The second release from the album, "Star Girl" was released on 23 October 2006, to promote the album.[40] "Star Girl" reached #1 in its first week.[41] The third release from the album, "Sorry's Not Good Enough/Friday Night", was released on 18 December 2006, and reached #3 in the UK singles charts.[42] "Friday Night" is featured in the movie Night at the Museum, which was released on 22 December 2006, in Canada and the US and 26 December 2006, in the UK.[43] Their next single, Baby's Coming Back/Transylvania, was released on the 7 May 2007, becoming the band's seventh #1.[44] The original single release date was due to be 26 February,[45] but the band took up the offer to return at that time to the town of Kamwokya in Uganda, which they previously visited for Comic Relief in 2005.[46] "Baby's Coming Back/Transylvania" holds the record for the biggest fall from number one for a non-limited edition single.
