Mcfly



McFly are a BRIT Award winning pop rock group who first found fame in 2004. The band consists of Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones , Dougie Poynter, and Harry Judd . They are managed by Prestige Management and were signed to the Island Records label from their 2004 launch until December 2007, before creating their own label, Super Records. The band rose to fame after fellow pop band Busted helped launch them by inviting them to tour in March 2004. The band's name originates from Marty McFly, the main character of the Back to the Future trilogy.

McFly's debut album, Room on the 3rd Floor, charted  at number 1 in the UK album chart and went double platinum; this led to the band becoming known as the youngest band ever to have an album debut at number 1 – this title was formally won by The Beatles. A month after the album was released, the band had their first UK headlining tour.The band's second album, Wonderland, also charted at number 1 in the UK, and was released in 2005.Their third album, Motion in the Ocean, was released on 6 November 2006 and charted at number 6 in the UK. McFly released their All the Greatest Hits compilation album on 5 November 2007, which charted at number 4 in the UK. 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, being realsed as a proper album on 22 September 2008. As of December 2008, McFly have had sixteen consecutive top twenty singles, seven of which reached number 1 in the UK Singles Chart and fifteen of which were top ten singles.

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