No, Stay With Me wasn't on the albums but fans are interested in their own written songs and it's not exactly a very well known Faces (or Rod Stewart) song for clear reasons.

 

McFly aren't going down, their career is still beginning in my opinion. They're having many requests to go elsewhere in the world and tried Brazil this year, where they sold 3 (i think) quite large concerts without having ever been there, promoted there or actually properly releasing anything. They somehow also managed a number 1 DVD out there. They also went to Oz where they found a lot of fans, so if they start going out to these places more their fanbase worldwide would grow. Next month, they're headlining Miss World in South Africa which apparently gets 2 billion viewers worldwide, so yes, although they're not quite as big as they used to be here, their careers are still growing and imo, they'll gain more fans here again when they start choosing the right songs to release. One For The Radio & Do Ya were mistakes, especially with such strong tracks on their album. Do Ya is just a bad charting to get them thinking properly and listen to what the fans want released and not on overly busy weeks.

 

 

The curse of the CIN single strikes again!..Emma Bunton never recovered her solo career after 'Downtown', The Spice Girls ended their run of Top 10 hits with 'Headlines' and now McFly look like doing the same!

Also, Stay With me was hardly promoted. It might as well just be a B Side. They performed it on CIN and played it on the radio once. That's it. They don't even play it on tour. The guys promoted Do Ya instead.

They flopped, just accept it.

I'd hardly call it a flop. Outside the top 20 would be a flop in my opinion. What, 13? would be only 4 below their lowest charting.

It done badly because its had hardly any promo and Do Ya is definatly one of the weaker singles of their new album.

Whoever said that they will never have a UK No.1 again...... :huh:

One of their singles breaks the 15 uk top 10 consecutive hits, that does not mean they will never have a No.1 in the Uk ever again.

Look, this era has been a total mess for them! It will be hard for them to get back to the heights that they used to be at. Their album is already in the 2 for £10 section in HMV :mellow: it's the most recent release among all releases from 2004 - 2007. It's been a disaster for them. and Rich is right, they probably won't ever have another number 1.

OMG OMG !!

 

McFly won't even be top10 with their CIN single by the end of the week ! :o :o

 

Is this the end for them ? Looks like their fanbase isn't big enough anymore to even ensure a top10 placing :dance:

Mcfly have done hardly any promotion for this single

they have only been on gmtv and CIN Night

the video for do ya was only released last week and theres not even a video for stay with me

 

Ithink seeing as they have just sold out arenas on their tour they still have a fanbase

The McFly guys are heavily promoting it being a fiver everywhere this Christmas to help it sell. I wouldn't at all call this a disaster, I know many people who have bought the newspaper to get the album, different ages, different genders, really enjoyed it and feel as if they'll probably buy the next, however didn't bother with the deluxe edition as it had only 4 new songs (with one being a release.) It has certainly gained them new fans.

 

Also, as I have previously stated, if they make the correct decision and release Down Goes Another One, which I feel will be the strongest release as it is the fans favourite by miles and is only on the Deluxe Edition album, they have a chance at the number 1 spot and top 5 if the right week is chosen. I am a little doubtful that they'll choose it though for some reason, but there are other good choices. They've released their statement now (OFTR) and they've released the happy happy charity song (Do Ya), now it's time to release one of the strong songs. There are at least 6 to choose from that I feel would do very well and surprise non-fans. I've certainly shown them to others who have really enjoyed them.

 

I'm not claiming though that any time soon they're suddenly going to be selling 600 000 copies of an album again with songs that'll stay in the same place 2 weeks in a row, but in the long time if they make the right decisions it's possible. Another number 1 is certainly not out of the question.

I wouldn't say that Radio:ACTIVE is their best album i just think it was a stupid mistake to give it away free

thats exactly why its going cheap as most people have the free album

and only the biggest fans are going to buy the actual verson for the extra songs and dvd

 

 

given they release the right songs (POV,The last song,Corrupted) which sound nothing like mcfly what so ever

i can see them going to number 1 and pushing the album a bit

 

seeing as they they had a sold out arena tour aswell this year they wont be going anywhere

 

more money is made from tours

I'm surprised Stay With Me and I Kissed A Girl didn't tempt the fans that already have Do Ya...I honestly can't see them ever having another UK No.1...

most people had i kissed a girl from radio1

as for stay with me it's the worst cover they have released

 

it's just a lack of promotion

i think they will get another number1 if they release the right songs

I Kissed A Girl is on the Live Lounge CD too.

i agree i think they should release The last song as the next singe

then Pov/eveybody knows or down goes another one

 

if they release the right singles from radio:ACTIVE i think it could help them with their next album

they clearly still have a lot of fans to have another sold out Arenea tour

 

and it was 6 dates they sold out in Brazil

 

Im just looking at Do ya as being a very bad choice ithink they will learn from that

isee corrupted being the next single which i guess isn't a bad thing

as its not the usual mcfly sound

I think they should take it as a message to listen to what the fans want, we didn't want Do Ya, they thought it was one of their best songs of all time!

 

I remember Corrupted being played on Radio 1 and everyone texting in going "Wow, that was McFly? Great song!" It would be a great choice.

 

Also, do you mean 2 more releases from Radio:ACTIVE? As much as I'd love for the other songs to get heard, I think 1 more is enough and then they should move onto the next album. A Double A Side would be good though, as long as they promote both tracks as good as each other.

yes mcfly have said there will be 2 more singles

still One for the radio,lies,do ya and 2 more thats only 5

they have kinda given it away that Everybody knows will be the last single though

Dear god @ the deluded McFly fans :/

I think McFly are just starting their career as self-made artists.

 

I think the fact that they were brave enough to start their own record label deserves a bit of recognition.

 

And obviously they were going to promote Do Ya more than Stay With Me because Do Ya was a song that they had written.

 

 

Corrupted or POV for the next release :D

 

 

#12 in the midweek chart now - Looks like this will become the first McFly single to miss the Top 10 then! Will be interesting to see how any future singles perform....

I'll find it interesting, it has been a very interesting year for charting, most probably very much effected by their choice to give the album away for free.

 

It was nice to break the little pattern they had, where the first 3 songs from a studio album would go 1-1-3.

 

I'm almost 90% sure there are number 1s to come yet, though unlikely from this album and most likely throughout the half a year or so that the very annoying X Factor doesn't affect.

'Do Ya' is one of the worst songs I've heard in my life. :puke: By far the worst thing they've ever done.

 

It seemed like they were going the right way about starting to be taken seriously by releasing a good, well crafted song like 'Lies' but they've taken several steps backwards again with this single. Awful.
