In their hit single Year 3000, tween-friendly pop-punkers Busted sang of a future world submerged underwater, populated by triple-breasted women swimming around town “totally naked!” A lot had changed, in other words, and yet the trio’s popularity hadn’t waned. In this far-flung future, “everybody bought our seventh album” rejoiced the boys, as those of us who like to take nonsensical pop songs way too literally wondered why on earth the people of the next millennium would still be listening to them.
It turns out Busted might have been on to something. It’s been 20 years since they released Year 3000, and the group are once again the talk of the town, with their huge arena comeback tour currently selling out at impressive speed.
