#COVIDFREEWORLD #PopAnalysis - @Busted
Right guys, time to think back to 2002, a time when Busted made their first appearance on the cover of Smash Hits with the headline: "Meet Busted: They& #39;re Going to Be Bigger Than Rik Waller!"

So, I have decided to rate all of Busted& #39;s UK singles, from not best to best, as per @officialcharts.The rules are that there are no rules, this is MY chart, therefore you are wrong in any dissent.
10. Thunderbirds Are Go
Taken from the film & #39;Thunderbirds& #39;, this hit UK Number 1 and even won the 2004 UK Record of the Year award.
Gerry Anderson described the film as "the biggest load of crap I have ever seen in my entire life". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxiwlSshZPM">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

9. 3AM
Contains some genius lyrics including
"And now you& #39;re driving in your car
But you won& #39;t get far
& #39;Cause your car is shit"
Rescued by being a double A side with & #39;Thunderbirds& #39; so it still got to Number 1

8. Air Hostess
Someone from the record company decided to go mad with the £ for the filming of the band jumping out of a aeroplane.
The line "I messed my pants when we flew over France" was edited out when the video was shown during the daytime #RISQUE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXwUGMXcuHk">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

7. Sleeping With The Light On
Nice chord progression; this song would& #39;ve charted higher if the bridge a bit stronger.
Quite like @CharlieSimpson& #39;s jacket, wonder where that& #39;s from? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2YZqnIa-ic">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

6. On What You& #39;re On
Channelling Daft Punk vibes in their comeback, this deserved better than the lowly Number 60 it charted at.
It& #39;s unclear as to whether the girl in the video is on psychedelic substances, or or simply having a funk seizure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YQ_UY11uMw">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

5. Who& #39;s David
Kind of similar but opposite too & #39;Sleeping With The Light On& #39; in terms of stronger bridge and weaker verses.
Quite bitter lyrics when you think about it now. Hope it wasn& #39;t co-writer @TomFletcher who had his heart broken, bless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPwfSH1OTxA">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

4. You Said No
Still don& #39;t understand the joke in the video re: Callum Cowan @JamesBourne; private joke?
Some nice harmonies. Their first UK Number 1, a toe tapper for sure. Charlie shows off his drumming capabilities in the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBNHf2lnNqg">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

3. What I Go To School For
The first #BustedJump spotted in this video, which was generally a bit cheeky with Charlie in some pretty tightie whities.
Perhaps not wise to anger an army of teenage girls by running off with the teacher? Just sayin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAI1Onf2-Co">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

2. Year 3000
I don& #39;t care what everyone will say, it& #39;s not their best work. I can& #39;t get behind a song that mocks the space-time continuum, I& #39;m sorry. And I& #39;d constitute living underwater as a big change? DUH.
Also, a video that gives girls 3 boobs? no. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tu7HoGZaspo">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

*so, what’s number one?*
1. Crashed The Wedding
A slice of pop perfection which deservedly hit the UK Number 1 in November 2003.
Absolute corker of a video which is still funny now, featuring a youthful @mcflyharry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QclbaDc_Kdc">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

*Bonus song*
& #39;Nineties& #39; was another great video take up of pop phenomena such as Blind Date, Gladiators and Top Of The Pops. Busted are at their best when they have a tongue firmly in cheek. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8LQh6grnZo">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

I’d like to thank #COVID19 for giving me the time to do this. Shout out to the #NHSheroes. Thanks to @officialcharts for the facts.
