McFly are an English pop rock band who first found fame in 2004. The band consists of Tom Fletcher (lead vocals, guitar and piano), Danny Jones (lead vocals and guitar), Dougie Poynter (backing vocals and bass guitar) and Harry Judd (drums). They were signed to the Island Records label from their 2004 launch until December 2007, before creating their own label, Super Records.[2] The band rose to fame after fellow boyband Busted helped launch them by inviting them to tour in March 2004. The band's name originates from Marty McFly, the protagonist of the Back to the Future film trilogy. McFly won Best Pop Act at the 2005 BRIT Awards.

McFly's debut album Room on the 3rd Floor debuted at number 1 in the UK Album Chart and is certified as double platinum;[3] this led to the band becoming known as the youngest band ever to have an album debut at number 1 – a title taken from The Beatles.[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 number 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 number 6 in the UK.[7] McFly released their All the Greatest Hits compilation album on 5 November 2007, which charted at number 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 conventional manner (via physical release) on 22 September 2008. As of November 2010, McFly have had eighteen consecutive top twenty singles, seven of which reached number 1 in the UK Singles Chart and fifteen of which were consecutive top ten singles.

In 2006, McFly appeared in the film Just My Luck, starring Lindsay Lohan and Chris Pine.[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] The group have also performed at various charity projects such as Comic Relief, Children in Need, Live 8 and Sport Relief. Another film which McFly released is their own DVD Nowhere Left to Run. In this film the boys are transported to a far away house to focus more on their new album, but a series of events leads to them plotting to kill one of the members.

History

2002: Formation

Guitarist Danny Jones met Tom Fletcher at auditions for V.

McFly were named by frontman 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 Busted's line-up; however, the Island record label went on to reassess the situation, eventually deciding to have the band as a threesome rather than a foursome. Fletcher then apparently stated that "I was in the band for approximately four minutes."[12] He later denied this, saying "I was never in this band. Anyone who says I was is an idiot." Though the record label decided against offering Fletcher a place in Busted, they were intrigued by his songwriting talents and later offered him a place on the Busted's songwriting 'team', alongside band member (and already accomplished songwriter) 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 to be an instrumental band, rather than the conventional, all-singing, all-dancing boyband, for which they were intended.[13] 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 two months,(whilst still receiving help from Bourne)[14] to concentrate on writing together. Bassist Dougie Poynter and drummer Harry Judd were subsequently recruited via a classified advertisement in the NME magazine.[11] The pair, both Essex lads, coincidentally turned up 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 the band name. Fletcher proposed the idea, based on his love for the American science-fiction comedy Back to the Future and Michael J. Fox's character Marty McFly.[15]

2003–04: Room on the 3rd Floor

McFly's early sound was surf/pop rock. Their debut single, "5 Colours in Her Hair", released 29 March 2004, entered the UK Singles Chart at number 1 in April 2004 and stayed there the following week.[16] In July 2004 their second single, "Obviously", also topped the charts.[17] This was followed by the album Room on the 3rd Floor debuting at number 1 in the UK Albums Chart.[13] 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.[14] The third single, "That Girl", was released on 6 September 2004, placing at number 3.[18] The fourth single, Room on the 3rd Floor, the album's title track, was released on 15 November 2004 and reached number 5.[19] McFly supported Busted on their nationwide arena tour[13] along with V in February 2004 and then had their first headlining tour in September 2004.[5]
