MCFLY ARE FAB! THEY ARE THE BEST BOYBAND IN THE WORLD I LOVE THEM LIKE HELL!!!McFly are a British pop rock/pop punk band who first found fame in 2004. The band, formed in London, was founded by Tom Fletcher (lead vocals/guitar) and also consists of Danny Jones (lead vocals/guitar), Dougie Poynter (vocals/bass guitar) and Harry Judd (drums). They are managed by Prestige Management, and were signed to the Island Records label from their launch until December 2007, before creating their own label, Super Records.[2]

McFly's debut album, Room on the 3rd Floor, debuted at #1 in the UK album chart and is certified as double platinum.[3] McFly are also the youngest band ever to have an album debut at #1.[4] A month after the album was released, the band had their first UK headlining tour.[5] The band's second album, Wonderland, also charted at #1 in the UK, and was released in 2005.[6] Their third album, Motion in the Ocean, was released on 6 November 2006 and charted at #6 in the UK.[7] McFly released their All the Greatest Hits compilation album on 5 November 2007, which charted at #4 in the UK.[8] The band's fourth studio album, Radio:Active, was given away for free as a supplement in The Mail on Sunday on 20 July 2008, before being released in the convential manner (via physical release) on the 22nd September 2008.

McFly appeared in the teen comedy film Just My Luck, starring Lindsay Lohan and Chris Pine, in 2006.[9] The band played themselves in the film and released a US album, "Just My Luck", which was also used as the film's soundtrack.[10]

As of September 2008, McFly have fifteen top ten singles, seven of which reached #1 in the UK Singles Chart.

History

Formation

Guitarist Danny Jones met Tom Fletcher at auditions for V.

McFly was founded and named by front-man Tom Fletcher, after he auditioned for Busted[11] but lost out on the place to Charlie Simpson (who later went on to co-found post-hardcore band Fightstar). Originally, Fletcher was accepted as part of the Busted's line-up, however the Island record label went on to reassess the situation, eventually deciding to have the band as a three-some rather than four-some, Fletcher states that he was in the band "for approximately 24-hours"[citation needed]. Though the record label (Island) decided against offering Fletcher a place in Busted, they were intrigued by his song-writings talents, and later offered him a place on the Busted song-writing 'team', alongside bandmember (and already accomplished song-writer) James Bourne; Fletcher has since stated that it was Bourne who taught him how to "properly" structure songs, and how to, "come up with good, poppy melodies"[citation needed].

During the writing project for Busted's second album (A Present For Everyone), Fletcher was asked, by the record label, if he was available to film auditions for a new band, V. It was at this time that (Danny) Jones and Fletcher met for the first time; Jones went to the audition mistaking the band ( V) to be a Busted-esque band, rather than the conventional, all-singing all-dancing, boyband, for which they were intended.[12] Fletcher was impressed with Jones's unique style, and so approached and invited him to write with himself and Bourne. When writing projects for Busted had come to an end, the two began collaborating for their own (as of yet, unnamed) band, and, eventually, moved into the InterContinental Hotel in London for 2 months[13] to concentrate on writing together. Bassist (Dougie Poynter) and drummer (Harry Judd) were subsequently recruited via a classified advertisement in the NME magazine.[11] Both Essex lads, the pair turned up, coincidentally, at the same audition, and got to talking over their shared appreciation of the band The Starting Line, after Poynter noticed their name and logo was printed on Judd's t shirt. The name McFly was eventually decided upon as band name, Fletcher proposed the idea, based on his love for the American science-fiction comedy Back to the Future trilogy and Michael J. Fox's character Marty McFly.[14] An American group, also called McFly, had been performing 1980s covers all over the US for the past three years. UK McFly's record label knew about the US group and asked them if they wanted to drop their name, but they refused. Newsround Showbiz asked UK McFly's record label what they thought about the two bands using the name but they didn't want to comment. The American band ended up changing their name to Mighty McFly.


Room on the 3rd Floor

McFly's early sound was pop music. 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.[15] In July 2004 their second single, "Obviously", also topped the charts.[16] This was followed by the album Room on the 3rd Floor debuting at #1 in the UK Albums Chart.[12] It would go on to be certified double platinum by the British Phonographic Industry.[3] 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.[4] The idea for the album name came from where Jones and Fletcher wrote most of the songs for the album: room 363 in the InterContinental Hotel in London.[13] 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,[17] despite topping midweek sales charts.[18] The fourth single, Room on the 3rd Floor, the album's title track, was released on 15 November 2004 and reached #5.[19] McFly supported Busted on their nationwide arena tour[12] along with V in February 2004 and then had their first headlining tour in September 2004.[5]

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.[35] The album was released on 6 November 2006, and reached #6.[7] The second release from the album, "Star Girl" was released on 23 October 2006, to promote the album.[36] "Star Girl" reached #1 in its first week.[37] 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.[38] "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.[39] Their next single, "Baby's Coming Back/Transylvania", was released on the 7 May 2007, becoming the band's seventh #1.[40] The original single release date was due to be 26 February,[41] 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.[42] "Baby's Coming Back/Transylvania" holds the record for the biggest fall from number one for a non-limited edition single. It fell from #1 to #20 after a week, matching a limited edition Elvis Presley single, "One Night".[43]
