| Episode 56: 21st Birthday and Goodbye | 07 Nov 2025 | 01:26:35 | |
It’s the end of an era, folks—the final episode of McWho! 🥹 For our big send-off, we’re celebrating McFly’s 21st birthday concert album and revealing our definitive Top Ten McFly songs of all time. From honorary mentions to our top five showdown, from favorite albums to surprise curveballs, we’re asking: how do our picks stack up against each other? Against McFly’s 21st birthday setlist? Against your own all-time faves? Expect nostalgia, a few heated debates, and plenty of love for the band that brought us some of our highest highs. Thanks for listening, McFly people—you’ve made this journey unforgettable. | |||
| Episode 55: Power to Play Album | 31 Oct 2025 | 00:50:16 | |
McWho - Power to Play: Is This McFly’s Greatest Album Ever?! This week, Sam and Steph crank the volume up to 11 as they dive headfirst into McFly’s electrifying Power to Play! Despite some technical difficulties (sorry for Steph’s mic—she sounds like she’s performing from the moon), the duo powers through with passion, hot takes, and plenty of laughs. Is Power to Play McFly’s BEST album yet? Could it be our new go-to workout soundtrack? Plus, Sam and Steph reveal their Top 5 tracks from the album—what will take the coveted number one spots? Turn it up, plug in, and rock out with us. And don't worry—next week’s episode (our finale, sob!) has crisp audio. Pinky promise! | |||
| Episode 54: Honey, I'm Home | 24 Oct 2025 | 00:45:07 | |
This week on McWho, we’re covering “Honey, I’m Home”—McFly’s latest single to date (already two years old!) and the last stop on our journey through their discography (don’t worry, it’s not our final episode, just our final single). We’re unpacking what “home” really means in the world of McFly—romantically, emotionally, and as a band. From the deep relationship vibes to the subtle nods to their legacy, this song gives us feelings. Plus, we get into the curious case of song title twins and share a little surprise… let’s just say, keep your eyes peeled during the music video. 👀 This one’s thoughtful, emotional, and just a little chaotic—classic McWho. 💛 | |||
| Episode 53: God of Rock and Roll | 17 Oct 2025 | 00:43:48 | |
This week on McWho, we’re diving into God of Rock and Roll—and can someone explain how this song DIDN’T chart?! Steph is in her 80’s nostalgia era, Sam’s wondering if she’s officially a drum bitch, and together we’re trying to decide if this is a worship song, a fever dream, or just McFly being hot and half-naked (again, thank you 🙏). Come along as we break down the music video’s is-it-actually-80’s-or-alt-2000’s-80’s vibes, laugh at our swapped energies from last week, and celebrate the continuation of this album journey. 🖤 🎸🔥 | |||
| Episode 52: Where Did All the Guitars Go? | 10 Oct 2025 | 00:42:41 | |
It’s the start of a brand-new (and final… for now) season of McWho! We’re kicking things off with McFly’s first single from Power to Play: Where Did All the Guitars Go? This week, Sam’s lukewarm. Stephanie’s feral. And the memes? Out of control. We’re talking guitar solos, glam rock fantasies, and why this track sounds like the boys were finally allowed to go full chaos mode in the best way. We don’t censor our f-bombs anymore, so buckle up—because one of us is screaming “I’m a hoe for guitar solos,” and the other is begging for restraint. Is this single a triumphant return to rock? Or just… a bit eh? You decide. 🎸 | |||
| Episode 51: Young Dumb Thrills (The Album) | 28 Mar 2025 | 00:45:16 | |
In this final episode of the Young Dumb Thrills season, Stephanie and Sam break down their top 5 songs from McFly’s sixth studio album. This record doesn’t just mark the end of their decade-long hiatus—it truly feels like McFly is back. From infectious energy to heartfelt lyrics, Young Dumb Thrills delivers pure joy to fans old and new. Stephanie is ready to dance. Sam is here for the deep, earnest moments. But which tracks make the cut? And where do your favorites rank? Tune in for a fun, chaotic, and (probably) mildly dramatic discussion of McFly’s best moments on this album! 🎶 | |||
| Episode 50: You're Not Special | 21 Mar 2025 | 00:42:06 | |
This week on McWho, we’re tackling “You're Not Special”—and let’s just say, this one did NOT win us over. 🥶 Is this McFly’s biggest misstep, or are we just missing something? It’s the coldest reception we’ve ever given a track, but we’re asking: Are we all sleeping on this song? Have we fundamentally misunderstood its message? Or… is it just not that good? Tune in as we break down the lyrics and message, the music video, and why “You're Not Special” might be McFly’s most forgettable single yet. 💀 | |||
| Episode 49: Tonight is the Night | 14 Mar 2025 | 00:32:30 | |
This week on McWho, we’re diving into Tonight is the Night—and it’s not just a banger, it’s McFly getting real about mental health. We laugh, we cry, and we FEEL ALL THE THINGS. From the emotional lyrics to the music video breakdown, we’re talking about how this song hits deep and reminds us why we love this band (and each other) so much. Join us for the chaos, the love, and probably a few questionable singing attempts. It’s a McFly moment you won’t want to miss! 🎸✨ | |||
| Episode 48: Happiness | 07 Mar 2025 | 00:50:50 | |
McWho is back with all-new episodes—just in time for our five-year anniversary! And what better way to start than with “Happiness,” the first single from McFly’s long-awaited sixth album? In this episode, we break down what this single meant to the fandom in summer 2020—because let’s be real, we all needed a little happiness that year. Plus, we take a look at the weird-ass Zoom music video, a lockdown fever dream that may or may not make any sense. So grab your Pistola Bear and join us as we kick off the Young Dumb Thrill season of McWho! | |||
| Episode 47: The Lost Songs (The Album) | 20 Dec 2024 | 00:59:16 | |
It’s the season finale of McWho, and we’re taking on The Lost Songs! We’re counting down our top five, uncovering the hidden gems, and calling out the tracks we just couldn’t stand. From surprising hooks to those “almost but not quite” moments, join us as we celebrate the best (and the rest) from McFly’s vault. | |||
| Episode 46: Those Were The Days | 13 Dec 2024 | 00:31:16 | |
Stephanie and Sam are all about the feels in this episode, where Tom goes solo on The Lost Songs’ only single! They unpack the magic of McFly’s “kismet” recording with Ximena Sariñana, filmed and edited in just 24 hours. From musings on friendship and love, to whether the song’s absence of the full band changes the vibe, this episode has all the nostalgia. Plus, Sam is swooning over Tom’s romantic lead potential and Stephanie drops some advice gems on growing up and missing things once they’re gone. Top 5 album predictions included! | |||
| Episode 45: McBusted (The Album) | 06 Dec 2024 | 01:12:32 | |
This week we’re digging into the McBusted album…you know, when the boys smashed their bands together just to see what would happen. For better or worse, you can’t deny it was one wild ride. It’s half nostalgia and half midlife crisis and all kinds of messy. But sometimes messy is fun, right? Tune in as we dive into the highs, the lows, and the oh-so-cringeworthy moments of the McBusted saga. | |||
| Episode 44: Get Over It | 29 Nov 2024 | 00:34:38 | |
Stephanie and Sam are asking the big questions: Is "Get Over It" the second-worst McFly single or an underrated gem? Should you send it to a heartbroken friend—or maybe a sworn enemy? From Tom’s tiny glasses to James’s “incel vs. ace” mystery, they dive deep into McBusted’s goriest, most chaotic music video. Plus, they break down Dougie and Harry’s unbreakable ship, debate the best choice to yell at the audience, and get feral over shirtless moments. | |||
| Episode 43: Air Guitar | 22 Nov 2024 | 00:48:12 | |
This week we’re turning the amps up to 11 with a deep dive into McBusted’s first (and best?) single: Air Guitar! Was it all a mid-life crisis or a celebration of the glory days? Tune in as we break down how this song balances having a second adoloscence alongside the genuine joy of rocking out with your friends. Love it or hate it, you can’t deny this song's infectious energy and all-out fun factor, no matter your age—or hairstyle. | |||
| Episode 42: Love is on the Radio | 15 Nov 2024 | 00:29:22 | |
Stephanie and Sam tackle Love is on the Radio and the era of “grown-up McFly.” From Tom’s endearing mistakes to multiple remixes (and their rightful ranking), they dive into all the fun chaos of 2013 McFly. And seriously—could this be the best performance video ever? Tune in to find out if Stephanie and Sam’s Taylor Swift podcast dreams are coming true. Grab your nostalgia goggles—Stephanie and Sam have you covered! | |||
| Episode 41: Love is Easy | 08 Nov 2024 | 01:07:23 | |
McWho is back with a whole new season! In our first episode, we dive deep into McFly's classic "Love is Easy" music video—a celebration of whimsy, nostalgia, and pure joy. Is it a song for Christmas? Is it a song for summer? It’s both! It’s everything. From the playful aesthetics to the clever fan references, this episode explores how McFly crafted a track that feels like a throwback and fresh all at once. Tune in as we break down the little moments you may have missed in this video, contemplate the meaning of Christmas (it’s Tom), and point out all the things that make "Love is Easy" one of McFly’s most successful singles yet. | |||
| Episode 40: Memory Lane (The Album) | 12 Jul 2024 | 01:01:10 | |
Hey Galaxy Defenders! The girls are back and live! Stephanie and Sam rocked a live show on Stationhead for the Memory Lane compilation album. They chatted with an audience about their favorite demos, reminisced about McFly's 2012 American "tour", and even shared tips on how to pay for a ride if you're hitchhiking. Oh, and a heads-up – this show is totally uncensored. So, expect Stephanie’s sailor mouth in full swing, no chicken noises to bleep her out! Thanks for listening! | |||
| Episode 39: Above the Noise (The Album) | 09 Mar 2023 | 01:09:14 | |
The final episode of 2023 and the last one to celebrate our three year anniversary! How does one choose between some of the sexiest songs McFly have made to date? Sam and Steph try to figure that out as they tackle their top 5 from Above the Noise. * We would like to thank everyone for their support of this podcast by listening, sending emails, and tweeting us!

| Episode 38: That’s The Truth | 09 Mar 2023 | 00:40:01 | |
In this episode, Sam and Steph come clean about the mysterious hiatus of McWho. We discuss the meaning of the lyrics of this song; does this man cheat on his girlfriend or is he a perfectly nice boy? A lot of bad karaoke and giggling ensues (but when doesn’t it in these episodes) to find out the answer. Steph gushes about the best video McFly ever made and Sam doesn’t know the letters of the alphabet.

| Episode 37: Shine A Light | 09 Mar 2023 | 00:50:19 | |
We're joined in this episode by McFly virgin Hayli Cox to discuss the ups and downs of ATN's second single, Shine a Light. How does this song, arguably one of their most popular singles to date, hold up over the years? Stephanie gets reminiscent about tour, Sam is worried about the overlap between fan and stalkers, and Hayli has questions about the person in a dog suit. Can we make sense of this strange strobe-light music video? Can you? * A podcast all about McFly, McWho is hosted by best friends who've grown tired of other Americans asking who they mean when they mention their favorite band.

Hey, Galaxy Defenders! In honor of McWho being three, Steph and Sam are dropping a batch of entirely new episodes breaking down Above the Noise!! We're kicking it off with that controversial classic, Party Girl, and you should be warned: This conversation gets FILTHY. Featuring a guest appearance by Lucy re: the fandom's dislike of this song, deeply *intellectual* conversations about the trappings of fame, and a LOT of sex talk, there's something in this episode for you whether you love or hate this single.

| Episode 35: McWho’s Second Anniversary (Revisiting Five Colors) | 09 Mar 2022 | 00:44:49 | |
Splash! We're back! This time we have a special anniversary episode celebrating TWO YEARS of the McWho podcast. In honor of how far we've come, we decided to revisit (and rerecord) our first episode, Five Colors in Her Hair. And if you think you've heard all we have to say on that, think again: Though we return to some of our favorite topics (hellooooo Tom's eyebrows!!) and repeat some old jokes (seriously, why is Danny wearing two short-sleeved shirts?), we've also got a lot of new insight on never-before-asked questions: Like, is it even possible to be happy without McFly? Does anyone actually miss low-rise jeans? Would you rather have a giant (15ft) Dougie in your life or a tiny (6in) Dougie and why? Thanks for two years of listening and laughter, Galaxy Defenders. We can't wait to see you again soon with Above the Noise. | |||
| Episode 34: Radio:Active (The Album) | 26 Nov 2021 | 01:15:05 | |
This week we're joined by McFly fan Sara Wiley for what is perhaps our hardest mission yet--ranking our top five R:A songs! How do you choose when they're all nearly perfect? There are ~battles~ to be had: It's Do Ya vs POV, R:A vs MitO, and Dougie vs Daniel Radcliffe and through it all, only one thing is for certain: The gloves are off and we're not pulling any punches! We hope you've updated your MySpace recently, because this episode will make you want to jump through the roof and trash hotel rooms. * A podcast all about McFly, McWho is hosted by best friends who've grown tired of other Americans asking who they mean when they mention their favorite band.

| Episode 33: Falling in Love | 19 Nov 2021 | 00:41:59 | |
We're all about our feelings this week as we dive into Falling in Love, the fourth and final single off R:A. McFly's worst-charting single to date, Falling in Love nonetheless has a special place in our hearts... Join us as we reminisce on youth, missed connections, and the euphoria of being in a crowd of people.

| Episode 32: Do Ya | 12 Nov 2021 | 00:46:22 | |
Do Ya or Do Ya not love a new single? And this week you get two for the price of one: we consider the merits of Do Ya and Stay with Me, released together as the third single from Radio:Active. We discuss the various pros and cons of lyrics (repeat stuff!) versus long wordless instrumentals, make a lot of dead people jokes, and come to the startling conclusion that all McFly fans might just be a horde of zombies. But we don't mind--who wouldn't want to open McFly for Christmas, you know? * A podcast all about McFly, McWho is hosted by best friends who've grown tired of other Americans asking who they mean when they mention their favorite band.

| Episode 31: Lies | 05 Nov 2021 | 00:52:19 | |
We're joined this week by McFly virgin Davis Dunavin for an epic conversation about R:A's second single, Lies. In the midst of all this dishonesty, we seek to uncover great truths, such as: the possibility of John Hurt being involved in this video, the real reason the apocalypse came about, and the likelihood of the makers of Mad Max: Fury Road being huge McFly fans. Are we living in a fantasy? You tell us! * A podcast all about McFly, McWho is hosted by best friends who've grown tired of other Americans asking who they mean when they mention their favorite band.

| Episode 30: One for the Radio | 29 Oct 2021 | 01:01:50 | |
We're not going to lie to you. This is mostly an hour of us gushing about how hot Tom is, and we're not even here to apologize. We are here, however, to share in the joys of McFly's first single from Radio:Active, One for the Radio! And what a one it is: it's a new album, a new record company, and new rules...and did we mention how hot Tom is? All in all, could we have asked for a better introduction to one of the greatest McFly eras of all time? You tell us!

| Episode 29: The Greatest Bits | 22 Oct 2021 | 00:43:11 | |
We're joined again by the totally stellar guest Megan (@youngdumbdougie) as we tackle *the other* McFly compilation album from 2007: The Greatest Bits. We rank our favorite deep cuts and also discuss a few other bits'n'bobs from this era, including covers from The Jam, Rihanna, and Grease. Anything goes this time! After all: there is no loyalty to anyone else when No Worries enters the party.

This week we're joined by the totally stellar Megan (@youngdumbdougie) to discuss the album-that-probably-shouldn't-have-been: A Greatest Hits album after only three albums? Which is just...every single single in order? Excuse me? Now we set out to do what the record label would not, which is rank all of McFly's singles by awesomeness and not chronology. What hit will come out on top and earn the true title of greatest? Plus: We get to talk about a few new songs, and you'll never believe what tune we think is McFly's favorite McFly song. * A podcast all about McFly, McWho is hosted by best friends who've grown tired of other Americans asking who they mean when they mention their favorite band.

| Episode 27: The Heart Never Lies | 08 Oct 2021 | 00:44:42 | |
Hey Galaxy Defenders, we're baaaaack! And we're kicking off this season with a true fan favorite. We can't decide if we're feeling warm and nostalgic or a little bit uncomfortable about all the dead people, but one thing is for certain: there's something special in the rainwater in this video. Join us as we praise love between artists and fans, question the fashion sense of billed beanies, and try to answer the most important question of all: Does the heart really never lie? * A podcast all about McFly, McWho is hosted by best friends who've grown tired of other Americans asking who they mean when they mention their favorite band.

In this extra joyful album wrap-up episode, we're joined by our friend Frankie (@mcflys_smile) with one single mission: ~FUN~. This is our last episode before we take a brief break; we'll see you again in the fall but before we go, we are kicking summer off right with McFly's most perfect sunshine album. Enjoy this podcast with a glass of something cold and delicious while listening to us rank our top five songs (spoiler alert: it's all of them, they're all our top five) and talk about all the ways Motion in the Ocean truly delights us.

| Episode 25: Baby's Coming Back | 30 Apr 2021 | 00:46:28 | |
This week is a total blast from the past as we celebrate Baby's Coming Back, the final single from MITO. There's Nokia phones, references to the snake cell phone game, T9 texting (what?!), and some scathing critiques of Harry's hair. Plus: we learn that drummers can be lead singers and ponder the practicality of cell phones with arms. Hold on to your fedoras, everybody, it's starting to feel like 2007 around here!

| Episode 24: Transylvania | 16 Apr 2021 | 01:06:30 | |
Welcome to Transylvania, land of love, intrigue, the undead, and the fulfillment of all of your queer dreams. Sam and Steph debate the various pros and cons of various hats (newsboy versus bucket, anyone?), miscellaneous period costumes, and that feeling when your boyfriend comes back from the dead (I mean, relatable, am I right?). Also up for discussion: Pudd v Pones love, femme and masc gender expressions and self hookups, Tom's continued downward spiral into chaos, & the very likely scenario that all of McFly is a vampire now (except for Dougie who is, in fact, still an alien). Is this the best music video off the album? We'll never tell!

| Episode 23: Friday Night | 02 Apr 2021 | 00:51:53 | |
It's Friday Night (!), and this week we focus on the joys of handheld cameras, the boys being Ben Stiller superfans, and the side effects of too many drugs, probably. Though you definitely don't ever want to trust McFly as security guards, you can trust them to show you a good time around the city, assuming your idea of a good time involves theft, getting naked, pulling pranks, and the most awkward night at the club ever. If McFly's going to lose it, don't worry--we're doing our best to find it!

This week we're joined by our friend Kelsey Kimbler, universal helper and McFly virgin, to discuss the pros and cons of kidnapping in MiTO's third single, Sorry's Not Good Enough (also, don't try kidnapping at home, kids). Plus: It's Alien Dougie's grand music video debut, Tom's eyebrows are a back, and there's a tense debate on whether or not helping someone commit a felony makes a you a good or bad friend. It's getting freaky now, folks.

| Episode 21: McWho’s First Birthday! | 09 Mar 2021 | 00:30:22 | |
It's our birthday! In honor of McWho's one year anniversary, Steph and Sam are releasing a bonus episode looking back at some of the highlights of the first year, including our most popular episodes, our favorite music videos, and the time that Tom (finally) retweeted us on Twitter. As the first and (so far) only McFly podcast in the world--even though we're pretty sure Danny thinks we're a podcast about The Who--we just want to say thanks for listening.

| Episode 20: Star Girl | 05 Mar 2021 | 00:49:15 | |
HEY! We're looking up for our Star Dougie this week as we consider McFly's third--and best?--single from MITO. Who is qualified to send someone into orbit? What is the best way to be a hologram? Is this the most beloved song in all the fandom? Plus: Sam and Steph get weird with a plethora of Totally True McFly facts, including the origin of the song's lyrics and the truth about what really happened to Dougie when his unprepared friends launched him into space.

| Episode 19: Don't Stop Me Now | 19 Feb 2021 | 00:45:28 | |
Join us this week as we relive (or, in Sam's case, experience for the first time) McFly's video for Sport Relief 2006 and their cover of Don't Stop Me Now. We discuss the original Queen song, the tragic effect of time on technology, and our own anti-athleticism as well as what would ever motivate us to run a marathon (it's Harry's short-shorts, y'all). Plus: we uncover the secret story behind the video, involving an unfulfilled love connection and Tom's heartbreaking reasons for cheating in the race. We're having a real good time--you might even say we're having a ball!

| Episode 18: Please, Please | 27 Jan 2021 | 00:45:50 | |
Weeeee're back! And we're bringing the Motion in the Ocean with us, starting off our new season with the first single from McFly's third studio album: Please Please! This is such an ICONIC music video--fake injuries! sexy nurses! naked performances!--and Sam and Stephanie have a blast reliving the whole experience. Hot topics up for debate this week are: Is this the golden age of McFly? Who successfully pulls Nurse Albright? How far is too far to get someone's attention? And should Harry grow a mustache?

| Episode 16: Fanfiction | 30 Nov 2020 | 00:52:33 | |
This newest installment in our series of fan-focused episodes is all about McFly fanfiction! We interviewed two writers from our favorite fanfiction website, Fanfic Obsession (http://fanficobsession.com.br). Gabrielle and Anmi share their experiences of writing band fanfiction, from struggling with feelings of isolation and insecurity to finding confidence and community with other writers. We discuss the importance of representation in stories, the joys of sharing your work with others, and the ways in which fanfiction can foster change. Not to mention it's just great fun: Who doesn't want the chance to date their favorite pop star?

| Episode 14: Just My Luck | 19 Oct 2020 | 00:47:25 | |
It's just our luck to have two great co-hosts, Chantel and Craig, on this week's episode as we revisit McFly's theatrical debut in the 2006 cinematic masterpiece, Just My Luck. The four of us reminiscence about McFly's early days, British vs American reactions to the film, and Harry's facial piercings. Plus: There's a high-stakes song-ranking bracket where we put the songs from the JML album up against each other and force them to compete.

| Episode 13: Bits and Bobs: Wonderland | 21 Sep 2020 | 01:18:17 | |
We're bringing the Wonderland era to a close with a ranking of all the B-sides and rarities from the studio album, including several covers and a few original songs t(hat are definitely better than the songs from the studio album, by the way). While attempting to determine what makes a good cover song--being true to the original or making a whole new sound?--we discuss mishearing lyrics, what makes us cry, and jamming out to karaoke. Plus: we speak to two fans, Alys and Tab, about their love for Ultraviolet and other Wonderland songs (because we didn't really get it before). It's been quite a journey, and we're all coming out a little warmer on Wonderland than we started. * A podcast all about McFly, McWho is hosted by best friends who've grown tired of other Americans asking who they mean when they mention their favorite band.

| Episode 12: Wonderland (THE ALBUM) | 07 Sep 2020 | 00:36:32 | |
We consider Wonderland's legacy in our second album wrap-up episode: Even though Steph struggles to name five songs she genuinely likes and Sam rages against Memory Lane for, like, a long time, by the end we might just find new ways to appreciate McFly's second studio album anyway. Is it the sophomore slump of their discography or a daring, more mature sound from a band that doesn't want to be stereotyped? Why not both?

| Episode 11: The Ballad of Paul K | 24 Aug 2020 | 00:46:00 | |
In what is perhaps our best episode yet--and not just because Sam got a new microphone this week!--we are taking on the Ballad of Paul K, McFly's fourth and final single from the Wonderland album. A genuinely moving experiment in empathy, Paul K is famously written about several of the bandmates' fathers. Join us as we contemplate aging, animation, and the symbolism of living in a house that hates you.

| Episode 10: Ultraviolet | 10 Aug 2020 | 00:45:51 | |
It's all about Wonderland's third-and-a-half single this week as we tackle "Ultraviolet" without a map or a plan. Sam doesn't even know the lyrics, Stephanie still can't understand the point of performance videos, and neither of us can figure out what this song is supposed to be about. Join us as we analyze the song's most obscure meanings, lament our lost youth, celebrate male friendships, and contemplate all possible identities for "Mrs. Halloween."

| Episode 9: I Wanna Hold You | 27 Jul 2020 | 00:50:56 | |
Maturity or censorship? Performance videos or scripted music videos? Silver alien or O-Town rip-off? Nose or lip rings? It’s all about debates this week as Steph and Sam consider the romanticism (or...not?) of destructive love in I Wanna Hold You, Wonderland’s third single that also happens to have three versions (?!). How's a fan to choose?

| Episode 8: I'll Be Okay | 29 Jun 2020 | 00:51:13 | |
A message of "okayness" feels timely and apt these days, friends. This week we tackle Wonderland's second single alongside our second guest speaker, Meredith Hughes. It's an hour of laughing at other people's misfortune as we discuss the merits of Harry's so-called friends, Tom's attempted murder, and who earns the title of the band's frontman.

| Episode 7: All About You | 15 Jun 2020 | 00:51:56 | |
We're baaaack! Kicking off our second season with Wonderland's first single, "All About You," we consider, among other things, what makes a song a hit, why this one rose to super-stardom, and how badly we want copies of 2005 teen magazines. Plus: Dougie has a LOOK that's turning heads, Danny hates everything, and Harry steals the show (again). The freshman album is over, kids--we're sophomores now!
