Sugar, We're Goin Down

We say

Although we don’t often pay attention to the number of MySpace friends an act has, the 681,701 totted up at the time of writing by Fall Out Boy is indicative of not just how well they've used MySpace as a tool, but also their huge popularity. Selling over 1.65 million copies of their major label debut in the States so far, From Under The Cork Tree is crammed with radio-friendly punk-pop numbers like this. It was their breakthrough single in the US, gaining them no 8 on the Billboard singles chart. With a Radio 1 B-list place and a sold out tour of the UK at the end of January, we think they should make a lot more friends this year. London gig: Astoria, January 30 & 31
