Added DiffLines:

** The name of their fourth studio album, ''Half Way There'', refers to a line in "Year 3000" about how "everybody bought our seventh album". ''Half Way There'' does, indeed, bring them halfway to that mythical seventh album.

* 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.
** Also, Son Of Dork, a short-lived band founded by Bourne, whose music was very similar to Busted.
** [=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.

* LyricSwap: In 'Crashed the Wedding,' the original chorus of, "And I'm glad I crashed the wedding/It's better than regretting/I could have been a loser kid/Who ran away and hid/I said I'd do it and I did. 'Cause true love lasts forever/And now we're back together/As if he never met her/So looking back/I'm glad I crashed the wedding" to, "She's glad I crashed the wedding/It's better than regretting/The ring she got was lame/She couldn't take the pain/She didn't wanna silly second name.

* ManOfAThousandVoices: Charlie, although he doesn't get to showcase it very much in Busted. In Fightstar it's not uncommon for him to be [[MetalScream screaming his ass off]] one line and then [[SopranoAndGravel performing an angelic chorus]] the next.
* MoodWhiplash: "What Happened to Your Band" is ''very'' out of place on [=McBusted's=] album, being the only serious song on an album of light-hearted Pop Punk and Pop Rock music. Hell, it's sandwiched in between "Hate Your Guts" and "Get Over It". ''That'' should sum up the point right there. However, it fits better on Busted's 4th album, which is composed mostly of serious Nostalgia songs.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Busted was originally a five piece band, with Matt Willis as the band's drummer instead of the band's bassist. He didn't switch to bass until 2002, when Owen Doyle left.
** There's an old Top Of The Pops performance of 'You Said No' from 2002 where Charlie mimed (nobody performed live on Top of the Pops as a general rule) the drum parts. Considering that Charlie is a very accomplished drummer himself, this is a bit of FridgeBrilliance on the part of the band.

* {{Mondegreen}}: In 'Air Hostess,' Matt slurs one of his lines; "Throwing peanuts down the aisle...", so more than a few people misheard him as saying "penis" instead.
** In 'Crashed the Wedding,' Matt also pronounces the "J" in the line "Because I never got a J-O-B" in a way that makes it sound like he's pronouncing it like "G" instead for some reason.
