History Trivia / Mcfly

** Their ''Anthology'' live album (the deluxe version, anyways) is missing 'Just My Luck' from the film of the same name, even though the played every other song they made up until that point.

** Most of their earliest music videos aren't officially available on places like [=YouTube=]. They're not even region-locked to the UK like their friends from Busted's. Only a small selection of them are available unofficially in low-quality fan uploads.

** "The Greatest Bits" was a compilation album of B-Sides only released in Woolworths stores in the UK. As if this didn't make it hard enough for non-UK fans to get a hold of a copy, the Woolworths franchise collapsed due to the 2008 recession and all the stores closed down as a result, making this album the rarest and most sought-after of [=McFly=]'s releases.
*** As of December 2019, a high-quality release has been put on the US iTunes store and streaming services by Island.
** After a while of not being on the American iTunes Store and streaming services, their third album finally averts this by being available overseas digitally as of May 2019.

** If [=McBusted=] didn't happen, the guys would've finished their 6th studio album by late 2013 or in '14 and released ''it'' instead.

** 'Star Girl' was ''also'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnmLvj4xtAs very different in an early demo version]], a version some fans like to refer to as "Good Night" about shooting a movie (probably referring to their love lives feeling like a Rom Com). Listening to this version makes the line, "I don't wanna give you away because it makes no sense at all" in the finished song make more sense, since it's a leftover from this early version.

* MarthDebutedInSmashBros: Due to their third album not releasing in the US, the only copies of the songs from that album are from their Anthology live album.

** Not only that, there were apparently plans to release a science fiction themed album. These plans were particularly evident from 'End of the World', a song about [[CaptainObvious the world ending]] that samples Music/JeffWaynesMusicalVersionOfTheWarOfTheWorlds.

** After a while of not being on the American iTunes Store and streaming services, their third album finally averts this by being available overseas digitally.

** Their third album isn't available on the American iTunes store either for some reason. It's certainly strange, since the rest of their albums, including their live albums, ''are'' available elsewhere, and Island UK have a few of the music videos from this album available to watch worldwide officially on their Website/YouTube channel, so singling this album out as the only one not to be exported is especially odd, especially when this album came out in 2006, the year they were introduced to American audiences in ''Film/JustMyLuck'', so you'd think Island would try to capitalize on that.
** However, it IS now available to stream on Spotify and buy or stream on Amazon digitally.

* NoExportForYou: McFly released their fourth studio album for free in copies of The Mail on Sunday, a UK-based newspaper. So of course, fans outside of the UK were unable to own the album at all, let alone for free. A new version of the album (with additional songs) was later released to buy in-store, making it easier for their fanbase outside of the UK to own a copy.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: {{McFly}}'s 5th Studio album could have been a lot different. According to one interview, a whole album's worth of songs had been written, only for them all apart from 'End of The World' and 'I Need a Woman' to be scrapped, instead starting from scratch to create their NewSoundAlbum, Above The Noise.
