Mr JTs return to the music scene this year was a big one and was also a catchy one. The single was released to run alongside the release of the animated film Trolls but ended up becoming a massive summer anthem.

This was a big year for Busted as they reunited as a band, went on a UK tour and even released a brand new album. Their music has a brand new sound and has been attracting new audiences to their music.
