McFly was formed in London, England in 2004. The band derives it’s name from the Back to the Future trilogy and Michael J. Fox’s character Marty McFly. McFly’s members include Tom Fletcher on lead vocals and guitar, Danny Jones on lead guitar, Dougie Poynter on bass guitar and Harry Judd on drums. McFly released their debut album Room on the 3rd Floor in 2004. It debuted at number one in the UK albums chart and has sold over over eight hundred thousand copies to date. They followed the success of their debut album with the release of their second studio album entitled Wonderland in the summer of 2005. It wasn’t quite as successful as Room On The 3rd floor but it still managed to over a quarter a million copies. After Wonderland, McFly released four more studio albums, Just My Luck, Motion in the Ocean, All the Greatest Hits and Radio:Active. As of December 2008, McFly have had sixteen consecutive top twenty singles, seven of which reached #1 in the UK Singles Chart and fifteen of which were consecutive top ten singles. The group have also performed at various charity projects such as Comic Relief, Live 8 and Sport Relief.
