Busted's Official Top 10 biggest songs revealed
Dust off the old school tie and obscenely-baggy jeans and get practicing that iconic air guitar jump, because Busted are back.
Set to celebrate over 20 years in music, Charlie Simpson, James Bourne and Matt Willis have teased an exciting new announcement coming this week. And, while they're remained tight-lipped on exactly what said announcement entails, speculation of a reunion tour is rife.
So, ahead of the big reveal, we thought we'd better update Busted's Official biggest songs in the UK ever; from debut single What I Go to School For to their Thunderbirds theme and everything in between.

But, before we get to the full Top 10, let's take a closer look at the band's three biggest singles to date.
3. Crashed the Wedding
Released: 2003

Total UK chart units: 441,000
The group's second UK Number 1 single - and the lead track from second studio album A Present for Everyone - Crashed The Wedding boasts over 26 million streams in the UK to date.
Also, the music video gifted us Matt Willis in a wedding dress. For that, we're forever grateful.
2. What I Go to School For

Official Chart peak: 3
Total chart units: 493,000
Busted's debut single - the Number 3-peaking What I Go to School For - has racked up over 29 million streams in the UK to date.

great band busted, the early hits and the first album are the best and catchy . What I go to school for brings me back so much memories , and year 3000 is the next best single for me still shocked they both should have got #1 in uk singles charts at the time. Can’t complain though as done very well overall and charted in the top 3. I seen them live at Plymouth in 2003 with the amazing Mari wilson the artist that brought you chozza looser and mr alibi that opened up for busted . Great band and they have done so well I think later years radio is such a great tune.
