[[Needs a Better Description]]
British [[Pop Punk]] boyband that formed in 2001 and split up in 2005. Despite being mainly surplanted by [[McFly]] in the public consciousness, they were influential at the time in bringing back guitar-driven pop bands and had a great many copy-cat acts at the time. They were also the number one selling band in the UK for two years, outselling Coldplay.
They were best known for their songs "What I Go To School For", "Year 3000" (both were later covered by [[The Jonas Brothers]]), for providing the theme song for the Live-Action [[Thunderbirds]] movie and in America, for their reality show ''America or Busted''. They released 3 albums, two studio albums and one live album.
The group consisted of James Bourne, Charlie Simpson, and Matt Willis. There have been recent rumours that Busted plan on reforming, minus Charile. [http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/11551669 These rumours were confirmed by Matt], who has been writing new material alongside James.
