many of us are judging them on their poor chart runs and sales (after all this is a chart focused forum) aswell as they poor quality and forgetable nature of their number 1"hits". they reek of desperation too using the 3 singles for £4/£5 deal everytime they release a single, also the text to buy and their hard sell tactics at their concert in order to get a hit.

there are NO txt downloads and they haven't been promoting on tour or at concerts

the 3cds for £5 offer has only happend twice and its usually like 2 extra b-sides and a cover

 

this time all they are doing is 3 for £4 but with the cd's you don't get a cover version this time

and each cd only has 2 tracks the single and one other track

 

the only download this time is one on i tunes.

 

 

listen it was their record label(island records) which made mcfly do loads of text downloads and stuff

Mcfly are No longer with the label and will now do things a bit different

Island records didn't take risks and they played it safe

Mcfly have allready started taking risks like giving the album away free.

they are forced into this "risk", its the only option they have left cause they don't appeal to the wider public, their album/single sales are poor and their record company made a loss, its a case of jump or get pushed, they would have been dropped, boy bands have a shelf life especially if they are aimed at children and young teenagers.

 

SFTW, richard knows his stuff....

 

 

it will be interesting to see how this plays out, if it works and the released album sells like they predict.

Im not a MASSIVE fan of theirs but i really do hope they release more "mature" songs like The Heart Never Lies. The one song from them that ive listened to over and over again

thats the general idea with this new album to be more mature

the man on my local radio station said the same thing as did the guy in the sun(who normally slags them off)

i understand some people won't listen to it due to pride
