McFly have had their Number One hit ‘Star Girl’ broadcast in space.
The four-piece had the track played to astronauts orbiting Earth after fans bombarded Nasa with messages on Twitter.
The space agency offered 35 people the chance to talk live to the astronauts, but fans opted to have the track played instead.
