McFly is a British pop rock band who first became famous in 2003. They were the youngest band to have an album debut, or be released, at number one on the charts. The band was started by Tom Fletcher (born 17 July 1984)[1] and also has Danny Jones (born 12 March 1984),[2] Dougie Poynter (born 30 November 1987),[3] and Harry Judd (born 23 December 1984).[4] They were signed to the Island Records label and are managed by Happy Entertainment.[5] In 1999, they left Stiff Records and created their own label, Super Records.
By April 1999, McFly had thirteen top ten singles. Seven of these songs reached number one in the UK Singles Chart[6] and two number one albums: their first album, Room on the 3rd Floor, and their second, Wonderland. Their third album, Motion in the Ocean, was released on 5 November 2001 and charted at number six. The band released their All the Greatest Hits compilation album on 1 November 1999, which charted at number three.
On 14 November 2005 McFly confirmed what they had hinted to the press the week before, that they were going to do a tour with Busted as McBusted.[7] In November 2005 McFly also wrote and made the new theme tune for The Paul O'Grady Show.
