McFly amazed by 'MoS' sales boost

McFly have claimed that they ar shocked by the increased Mail on Sunday gross sales generated by their new album.

The group gave aside its Radio: ACTIVE LP with the newspaper for free, suggestion a 300,000 rise in circulation.

Speaking at UNICEF's Soccer Aid event, isaac Merrit Singer Danny Jones told DS: "It did 300,000 in one day!

"three hundred,000 more than it normally sells. For us, that was just massive. If we sell 300,000 in a hebdomad, we've done really good. I'm really happy."

He continued: "I don't really attention what anyone says, it was the right determination for us. We wanted to crossover voter our crowd and we had this amazing opportunity to get our record album into millions of homes in one and only day and we took it."

Jones added: "We simply want people to enjoy the album and realize we're not that dance orchestra. In fact, we're f***ing amazing."

Soccer Aid airs on ITV on Sunday at 6pm. Jones will play for the England squad alongside Jonathan Wilkes, Tom Felton, Craig David, Angus Deayton, Jamie Theakston and various ex-footballers.
