Busted (2002 Busted album)
Busted is the self-titled debut album by English pop rock band Busted. It was released in the UK in September 2002 and peaked at number 2 the following January after the success of second single "Year 3000", which reached number 2 on the UK Singles Chart. Five singles were released from the album: "What I Go to School For", "Year 3000", "You Said No", "Hurra, hurra, die Schule brennt" (released in continental Europe only) and "Sleeping with the Light On".
Busted was the 9th best-selling album of 2003 in the UK. The album has sold over 1.2 million copies and been certified as 4× Platinum in the UK. The album spent 77 weeks on the UK Top 75 Albums chart.
Both "What I Go to School For" and "Year 3000" were covered by the Jonas Brothers, and released on their 2006 album It's About Time.
With the original line-up of Busted having broken up in 2001, guitarist James Bourne and bassist Matt Willis set about finding a new band member. Charlie Simpson and Tom Fletcher both originally made it in, but the latter was cut from the final lineup.
Six tracks on the album were co-written with John McLaughlin and Steve Robson, who often collaborate with each other. The other remaining songs were written by the band themselves.
The first single released from Busted was "What I Go to School For", which reached number 3. This was followed by "Year 3000", which reached number 2, "You Said No" and "Sleeping with the Light On". "You Said No" peaked at number 1 and "Sleeping with the Light On" peaked at number 3. With "You Said No", Busted entered the Guinness World Records for being the first artist to have their first three singles enter the top three of the UK Singles Chart in ascending order.
A European-only single, "Hurra, hurra, die Schule brennt", was released on the same date as "You Said No" was released in the UK.
"You Said No" is titled "Crash and Burn" on the original album release, but its title was changed for the single release because of the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster. In an interview with Newsround, Willis said, "We were deciding what single to go for just as that happened and we really wanted to use Crash and Burn but we thought the name was inappropriate - it would have been bad taste." Simpson also stated in 2016 that "we thought it was a bit insensitive around 9/11."
