* HarsherInHindsight: Listening to the first few songs on ''A Present For You'', you can tell there was an effort on their part to mature their sound, as well as try to take off in places other than the UK. 'Air Hostess' was clearly meant to be a song they could perform once breaking through into mainstream US music, and 'Who's David' uses the term "high school," an American term, rather than "secondary school," the nearest British equivalent. Ironically, had they still be making music rather than disband, they might've been able to break into the scene by riding the wave of Pop Punk bands that sprouted up in the mid-2000s to some extent.

** It's not so much that American audiences ''hated'' them per se, but the climate of the American music scene had changed by the time they tried to break through. By then, Boy Band Pop was a dead art form and Pop Punk had begun getting more serious, with the emerging Emo Pop on the horizon with Music/FallOutBoy emerging as a Pop Punk band, Music/GreenDay released their Pop Punk Rock Opera ''American Idiot'', and Music/Blink182, whom Busted obviously drew a lot of inspiration from, had begun making more serious music. Had they tried earlier, they might've made it, but the changing attitudes of the American music scene to a more serious one caused them to fail. Regrettably, it was at a time where they seemed to be progressing to mature their writing more.

* SpiritualSuccessor: Music/{{McFly}} were considered to be Busted's successors (and were even nicknamed in the British Press as "Baby Busted" when they first hit the big time). Considering that Tom Fletcher was briefly in Busted, it makes sense.

** [=McBusted=] also, since Matt and James joined [=McFly=] as a supergroup. The even recorded an album which sounds like Busted 2.5 mixed with [=McFly=] and 5 Seconds of Summer.
** Music/AllTimeLow can be seen as this crossed with (albeit delayed) TransatlanticEquivalent, though they're more influenced by Music/Blink182 and probably never heard a Busted song outside of maybe the Jonas Brothers' covers of a few of their songs like most Americans, though Alex Gaskarth ''is'' British-American, since he was born in the UK, but moved to America when he was 7. It's safe to assume that if Busted's third album came out a few years after their second, they'd likely have evolved their sound in a similar way to All Time Low, since they produced high-energy Pop Punk music and All Time Low could cover any pre-2016 Busted song without crediting them and most people probably wouldn't bat an eye because of how similarly both bands wrote their lyrics and produced their music up until that point.
