The semi-enjoyable guitar-toting boy band McFly is the latest band to package an album with a copy of the Sunday paper; next month, they’ll distribute some three million copies of their new album, Radio:ACTIVE, with the Mail On Sunday, which pulled a similar stunt with Prince last year. More »

Is It OK To (Ironically) Enjoy McFly?

As a general rule, I enjoy British music. It’s a simple guideline, and usually it works out: While my neighbors are rocking out to outdated Nickelback discs, I can be smugly comfortable with my enjoyment of the new Wiley single. But sometimes, there are acts that make my commitment to that rule waver a bit. Like McFly.

MTV UK’s “Ultimate 50 Popstars” Reveals Ocean-Sized McFly Appreciation Gap

mcflyyyyy.jpgSometimes there are music-related lists that you come across that are so silly, and so obviously street-team-aided in their construction, that you just have to share them. (Especially on news days that have Tokio Hotel’s TRL debut as their “highlights,” ahem.) So behold MTV UK’s “Ultimate 50 Popstars” list, which was voted on by “the fans”–a surprising fact when you realize that both Jojo and Jessica Simpson apparently have big enough fanbases to have cracked its lower reaches. The list itself is an early-oughts-heavy grouping of pop kids from now (Leona Lewis (No. 27), Justin Timberlake (No. 4)) and then (Britney Spears (No. 1), TLC (No. 32), S Club 7 (No. 18)) that makes little sense, although it does allow U.S. readers to be reminded of the fact that they really do like McFly (No. 2! Seriously!) and Busted (No. 17) on the other side of the pond. And that they prefer the freaking Pussycat Dolls (No. 29) to the Sugababes (No. 36), a piece of trivia that should make any poptimist shudder. List after the jump.

The current No. 1 single in the UK is a double A-side by the British boy band McFly (whose existence we actually were reminded of the other night during an insomnia-spawned viewing of the not-very-good Lindsay Lohan vehicle Just My Luck), and one of those A-sides is a sunshiny-bright take on… More »
