They've actually performed for the Cube? They don't usually have bands playing do they?! Do you know who else is on with Tom? Seeing as he went on the cube for Comic Relief, I'm sure the charity and the band are just as friendly with each other as ever and no doubt McFly should perform if they're not busy abroad!

Yep, it was a little higher earlier too. Once they perform it on a show (Comedy Rocks?) it should rise further, and hopefully once it hits the top 40 it'll start rising quickly. This could happen before the 6th depending on promotion!

Enjoying looking at the tweets here: http://twitter.com/#!/search/mcfly%20song Some great comments from random people listening to the track for the first time.

279. That's the Truth - McFly On its way up. Wonder where it'll peak before the proper release?

I just caught the track on 4music and it sounds a lot better on the TV that it does with my laptops rubbish speakers. I'm more confident about the track doing well now, fingers crossed. I said top 5 before though, but thinking about it I reckon it could go to about 7/8 but stick around in the top 20 for a while. We'll see, I guess.

Airplay, definitely! I think it will benefit from a better perspective of the band from the public after ' Shine a Light'. Still think the verses are dull though.

They've made mistakes before, but they know the interest in Nowhere Left to Run from their fans, & recieved good feedback for a performance on Alan Carr's Chatty Man. I just hope that this time they will release the best track on the album, after all the good tracks they've left behind before. But That's the Truth only just won the fan vote above it, which is why it has been released. It is closer to their traditional style, so I can sort of see why that was the case. Nowhere Left to Run is more risky, but certain for success in my opinion (if given the chance!).

Think/ hope they're leaving it until last.

To insert a video select 'youtube' from the 'insert special item' drop down menu, then paste jZHJYc4vqyk into the box. Top 5!

Nothing for Who this year for me - usually a huge fan and wouldn't want anything else to win, but Sherlock was awesome and its Philip Glenister's last chance for his award. If he doesn't win it, Benedict Cumberbatch should definitely snatch it. Fingers crossed.

Think: Tinie Tempah Want: Plan B

Yeah, got a bad feeling my bad dancing may let me never forget that...

Thanks for this - but no way will I be awake then!

Well, of course they played a lot of the tracks already on their mini tour. I already think Nowhere Left to Run is awesome live for a start. Just haven't heard That's the Truth (and a few others!). All should be greater with the atmosphere and sound of an arena, though, of couse. Hope you enjoy yourself!

Yep, I'm off to Manchester. How about you? Talking of which, I know we've heard accoustics but I can't wait for the live version of this.

top 10 and some longevity would be nice enough.

It seems very out of place, doesn't it?! Especially as we're so used to hearing the track without it.

I have to say though, I hate that "say, say, say" bit they've added.

Probably their most serious video since "The Heart Never Lies." Shine a Light was serious in a sense (no zombies, vampires etc.) but it was more light hearted. Its not amazing, the video. Its a little bit dull - but a nice change for them at the same time. Does make you sit and watch because of the background to it.

It looks so much like its all about Dougie's split from Frankie. Sure the media will pick up on that.

I definitely agree that it sounds more traditional for them yet different. I'm hoping this will unite the fanbases more. I think, as you said, the previous two singles made a lot of people feel like they were sellouts. That's the Truth more than any track has the chance to deliver something which should not only please fans, but move them a step forward in the minds of the general audience (with a helpful push from the success of Shine A Light). Its all about the marketing I guess. I do think the video looks good from what I have seen - definitely something that is not cringy like "Party Girl" and not as dull as "Shine A Light". Hopefully it will gain interest. Can't wait to see the full thing on Tuesday/Wednesday. Hopefully the track will be added to the radio 1 playlist soon too (and perhaps A Listed!).

Yep, but as you've said all 4 of them have had leads now so they could have picked any of them. Looking at the preview I reckon they've deliberately chosen Dougie for the lead because of the split from Frankie - whether it be because he wanted to send out a message there, or just to give it a bit more publicity. Could be wrong, of course. zSKaIU07UNQ

Dougie seems to be the lead in the That's the Truth video - makes me wonder if that's because of his split from Frankie!

Adding to what I just wrote, this album is very much the experimental transition album - and that goes for the fans too. They've lost fans and they've gained some. Depending on the music industry in 2011 onwards (if it still favours the style they have gone for with tracks like Shine a Light) I should think they've still got a mountain to climb to gain as many fans as possible with this album as I honestly think they have a better chance than ever to hit the top, and to see what the most successful and liked songs are on the album, so that the next album will hopefully be more consistant and more successful. I really have my fingers crossed for That's the Truth. I hope it does well - but its not the most commercially friendly track on the album. I'd say its more a track the old fans can cling to while the new ones can see hints of progress inside - but not neccesarily enough.

Actually, I hate to talk bad about them because I am a fan - but there are only 16 000 paid subscription fans signed up to the website and that includes fans worldwide. Therefore its not made a huge difference to album sales here bearing in mind they're the most extreme fans and so most will probably have bought the album too. So, if this album doesn't pick up they've just got to make sure they pick the right tracks and keep the longevity that Shine a Light has started + keep the website going and keep selling tour tickets. If they can't do those things, then thats when they will get into trouble. If the album doesn't pick up after this release or the next but the singles do well I can see them releasing an extra track than usual (making it up to 5 singles) to make sure as much of the music gets out there and heard as possible. I honestly can't see the rumoured rerelease of the album doing too well.
