:rolleyes: Mcfly would literally do anything to get try and get a hit.

Mcfly and Taio have been working together for quite sometime.

Party girl is a hit and so have all their songs bar 1

wow, this should certainly get them another hit- and most likely will go higher than PG went

 

if its still November 1st, then they are up against Nadine's single and obviously Cheryl will still be going strong too, if its the 8th, they have Diana Vickers to compete with

Diana who?

 

lol

I wonder if this will be better than Party Girl, PG is probably their best ever single for me

You should worry more about Rihanna, she's apparently releasing 'Only Girl' only on November 8th. But I can see this on bringing forward massively due to the fake versions. On the other hand, maybe the X-Factor slot is reverved already for that week.

Its all over youtube now if people are looking for it.

Here's the single http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3v_2BJFV7w

Hasn't exactly blown me away.

Oh. i'm not listening to them low quality live recordings. But from what I can make out, it seems to have a similar backing to 'I Gotta Feeling'/'Look For Me'... interesting....

The recording was from The making of the video.

Yesterday Mcfly showed the making of the video Live on their website thoughout the day and the track was just played over the recording.

It will sound better on radio soon

I'm interested in what it will sound like in high quality as despite the terrible echo/ basically low quality of the recordings so far, I can faintly make out some different sounds such as some piano. Seems like there is a lot more to it, if you get what I mean. Especially towards the end of the track.

I listened to it and I loved it, even with such an LQ sound as that! It seems to me Taio's voice and the guys' suit just perfectly, the harmony is so faultless and beautiful! It's got both positiveness of McFly tunes and Taio Cruz catchy refrains - I have nothing to wish for in this new song! I can see how well it'll go in both acoustic sessions and remixes, as well as live performance. :music:

 

However, I'm not being naive as to think that it will be possible to overtake Rihanna (though I thought the world could be just a little tired of her :heehee: looks like it's not happening yet ). I really hope for a stable top 5 or at least top 10 for several weeks. It looks quite likely, as SuperCity itself will provide digital version of the single and the site is hugely anticipated by the fans all over the world! McFly aren't successful enough at digital sales, but Taio is, and with Super City's help it may even increase.

Btw, am I the only one to see McFly's cover of Dynamite as a perfect b-side of a single? It sounds logical to me, and as long as their version is one of the best it might help promoting the single even more!

 

I'm worried about one single thing: are they dancing in the video?? I saw the piece of them doing some awful dance routine and at first I thought it was just a mockery, but at times they looked too concentrated to be just fooling around. They were truly awful in that, though xD I'm really puzzled, because I wasn't able to watch it online due to my workplace's IT restrictions. To be honest, I'm a little disgusted at the thought that they might have gone dancing. It'd kill all the warm feelings of mine to this Shine A Light.

Julia, don't worry, I think they were just copying the female dancers who were dancing in the cage!

Mcfly seem to be doing better on downloads with Party Girl.

I'd be interested to see how many downloads it's actually sold compared to past releases

BTW, Taio is misspelled in the subtitle

You're right, that would be a perfect B-side to the single! It's such a great version of it too, i love it.

Lol no i don't think they do any dancing in the video, most of the dancing is done by girls wearing spangly silver suits from what i remember. The thought of McFly doing a dance routine is hilarious though :lol:

 

I'm gonna stick my neck out and say Shine A Light is gonna do better than Party Girl, it's such a brilliant song, definitely my favourite McFly single for a while. Dunno about Number 1 but i'd say it should definitely go Top 3 especially with Taio on it.

Shine a Light is now playing on radio stations! HQ versions on youtube.

Out on Download 7th Nov and CD 8th Nov

First listen, it's alright. There's no melody though on the chorus...

I love it (unsurprisingly!) I'm glad they're continuing with their change of direction - and a completely different one to 'Party Girl' too! :o The album is shaping up to be great. :D
