McFly is a Pop Group based in the United Kingdom The band members are Danny Jones (born March 12, 1986), Dougie Poynter (born November 30, 1987), Tom Fletcher (born July 17, 1985) and Harry Judd (born December 23, 1985). They are signed to the Island Records label and are managed by Prestige Management . Musical Style McFly's style has been dubbed by themselves and others as music as " Nu-Pop " but possibly more commonly considered Pop or Pop Rock . Despite the band's pop image and reputation, it is clear there are musical differences from other contemporary Boyband s. Influence is apparent from bands such as The Beach Boys and Beatles' (particularly Paul McCartney -penned) material. Lyrically however, their style is closer, though not quite similar, to other contemporary boybands such as Busted or Son Of Dork . McFly are often considered similar in style to the now defunct Busted , with whom they shared a record label and were generally considered to be friends. However, though similar, the latter evidence greater influence from Pop Punk bands such as Blink 182 and Sum 41 than 1960s' Rock , in addition to their clear pop overtones. Chart Success McFly's first single, "5 Colours In Her Hair", entered the UK Singles Chart at Number One in April 2004 and stayed there for two weeks. In July 2004 their second single, "Obviously", also reached the top, but only for one week. This was followed by the album '' Room On The 3rd Floor '' debuting at Number One in the UK Albums Chart . The album broke records as they were the youngest band since The Beatles to have a debut album enter the charts in the top position. The third single, " That Girl ", was released on September 6th, 2004 and lost the battle for the top spot to Brian McFadden 's "Real To Me". It went to #3, despite topping midweek sales charts. The fourth single, "Room On The Third Floor" (the album's title track), was released on November 15th, 2004 and made #5. In March 2005, McFly released ") promoting "I've Got You". It was their first television performance in the US. They are currently working on their 3rd album which is provisionally set to be released November 2006.
