Charlie Simpson has revealed McBusted are planning to release an album.
The super-group is comprised of McFly and Charlie's former Busted bandmates Matt Willis and James Bourne and although they initially formed for a tour, the solo star has let slip they've been writing songs together for a proposed LP.
When quizzed about McBusted's long-term future, he told BANG Showbiz: "I know they're writing new songs at the moment with a view to putting a record out.
"They've got some great writers in that band, Danny Jones is a great songwriter and so is Tom Fletcher from McFly as well. I think they can definitely do some stuff and it will be interesting to see how they progress. I think they can definitely do more together."
Charlie - who has just released his second solo album 'Long Road Home' - isn't sure how long the group intend to stay together but he knows they're determined to release a record.
He added: "From what I understand I don't think it's a full-time thing for them ... I'm not sure what their long-term plan is but I do know their short-term aim is release an album."
The 29-year-old songwriter can see Busted and McFly's influence on the current crop of pop/rock bands such as The Vamps and 5 Seconds of Summer and is pleased to see groups who write their own songs being successful.
Charlie - who is getting ready to perform at The Roundhouse in London on October 14 - said: "I think it's interesting in the charts at the moment. For me it's just good to see pop bands playing guitars and writing their own songs. Regardless of whether or not I like a band's music I'll always have more respect for a band that writes their own songs and plays their own instruments, do you know what I mean?
"I think that it's good that there's a generation of bands coming through that are playing music and writing songs."

Susanna Reid had a breast cancer scare.
The 43-year-old television presenter - who currently hosts 'Good Morning Britain' - has revealed she feared the worst after finding a lump on her breast.
In an article for 'The Sun' newspaper, she wrote: "I realised there was a bump there that I hadn't felt before. I was shocked - and scared.
"It was a lump which could turn out to be the thing I was most frightened of. I thought to myself: 'For the sake of my boys please don't let it be cancer.'"
Susanna - who has three sons, Finn, Jack and Sam with her ex-partner Dominic Cotton - admitted she was nervous about the lump being checked out.
She explained: "The fear of cancer can be so great that there can be a temptation to put off going to the doctor, just so you don't have to face the tests - or a diagnosis.
"But I knew seeing a doctor as soon as possible was the only way to know what I was facing."
The former 'Strictly Come Dancing' contestant - who received the all clear after a number of tests - described her relief at being told it was a cyst.
Susanna said: "Another ultrasound confirmed what the doctor initially suspected. My lump was a harmless cyst that could be treated immediately.
"As I left hospital, the consultant said: 'I want you to know you have nothing at all to be concerned about.'
"Those are the words you want to hear - and they still ring happily in my ears."

X Factor bosses are "hopeful" that Madonna will perform on this year's live shows.
The 55-year-old singer is currently considering an offer by the talent show that would see her appear on one of the final shows to promote her new album.
An X Factor source told 'The Sun' newspaper: "It's looking very hopeful Madonna will perform, possibly in November on one of the live shows.
"There are a lot of big names releasing music at that time, but she's absolutely the number one name we are trying to secure.
"She needs her next album to be a success in the UK and a performance on ITV in front of 12 million people would be the best platform."
The show's wishlist includes other big name stars like Rihanna, U2 and Adele as well as former judge Gary Barlow alongside Take That.
Returning judge Cheryl Fernandez-Versini is also tipped to perform on the show.
Meanwhile, an insider has also revealed that Tulisa Contostavlos is to appear on the new series.
Simon Cowell has reportedly invited the 26-year-old back to help Louis Walsh at the judges' houses stage.
An insider said: "This is a massive deal for Tulisa.
"She is determined to get her career back on track and having Simon's support means a lot."

Jesse Eisenberg is increasingly guarded about his personal life.
The 30-year-old actor - who starred in 'The Social Network' and 'Zombieland' - has seen his profile rise markedly in recent years, but admits he's no more comfortable talking about himself in interviews.
Asked whether it becomes easier talking to reporters, he said: "No, it becomes increasingly harder because I try not to say anything personal about myself that I don't want to say.
"But maybe if that gets out in an article then I forget it comes out, or it doesn't occur to me it comes out, and I meet you and you reference it I think, 'Oh goodness, this is what people think?' It's so strange."
Eisenberg has been cast in the role of Lex Luther in the eagerly-awaited 'Batman v Superman' film - and he admits to avoiding fan reaction online because the views are typically negative and he knows the most positive feedback comes from personal interactions.
He added to ShortList magazine: "Of course I don't look for anything like that, because people are there to say mean things.
"If somebody wants to say something nice they'll do it in person or forget about it. You learn very early on not to look. Unless you're some kind of masochist."

Kate Moss made £5 million last year.
The 40-year-old model mainly secured the hefty sum through brand deals.
The figures - which are for the year ending October 31, 2013 - show she cashed in from deals with Rimmel, Topshop and most recently, biker brand Matchless.
Kate also collected money from her two firms, which have assets of £16.7 million.
A source revealed to 'The Sun' newspaper: "In the accounts for 2012 the two firms were worth £11.7 million but by the end of 2013 that had risen to almost £17 million.
"It shows Kate's earnings aren't slowing as she gets older and that she's still being handed big sums by clothing brands who are desperate to get her in their gear."
Meanwhile, Arcadia mogul Philip Green has slammed reports that Kate's Topshop collection isn't selling well, after eager eyes spotted pieces from her collection being discounted.
Philip told 'The Daily Mail' newspaper: "The range was very, very successful and we waited until the end of the season to clear whatever was left. No more complicated than that.
"There's nothing untoward, whether it's got Kate Moss in it, or any other brand, what we've got left at the end of the season around the globe, we sell. There's nothing that sells 100 per cent, whatever it is - it doesn't exist in any business."

Mariah Carey has parted company with Jermaine Dupri after bad album sales.
The 44-year-old singer - who had worked with the producer for nearly 20 years - has now teamed up with Kevin Liles.
A representative for Mariah told Page Six that he is "consulting with Carey."
The pair joined forces to launch a beverage line, 'Butterfly', last year.
Mariah and Jermaine had been working together since 1995 and in that time, he was behind some of her most successful hits including 'We Belong Together'.
The decision to split was made after her latest album, 'Me. I Am Mariah . . . The Elusive Chanteuse', only sold just over 100,000 copies since its release in May.
Jermaine also came under fire for arranging for Mariah to perform to José Eduardo dos Santos and his family.
Mariah was slammed by human rights groups for performing for the Angolan politician, who is accused of many human rights violations as well as corruption.
Meanwhile, Jermaine told 'Billboard' magazine earlier this week: "I'm a very hands-on person when it comes to my work.
"I put my all into every project. But when I'm not allowed to do what I do, then I know it's time for me to move on.
"Mariah and I enjoy working together and will continue to make great music together in the future."

Sinead O'Connor believes Justin Bieber is being sexualised.
The 47-year-old singer has revealed that young male celebrities like the 'Beauty and a Beat' star are at risk of "being sold on [their] sexuality".
She told 'Magic FM', "I think that people focus an awful lot on the female aspect to this, but it is also the males. The very young male artists who are practically children or look like children are also being sexualised.
"Justin Bieber is a great example. When he came along he was only 16 years of age. Obviously he was extraordinarily talented, so I'm not trying to negate that, but he was very much being sold on his sexuality."
The 'Nothing Compares 2 U' hitmaker also thinks that Britney Spears' school girl outfit in 'Baby One More Time' was inappropriate.
She said: "Britney Spears, of course was quite inappropriately young to be sold in that way, dressed up in a school uniform.
"But I think that really people forget that the guys are going through it as well, and I think that is quite important."
Sinead - who famously wrote an open letter to Miley Cyrus, warning that she was being "pimped" by the music industry - explained her concerns about the oversexualisation of young celebrities.
She said: "What concerns me is that the audience of these artists are children themselves.
"The children are being sexualised too early and both the male and female sense of worth is focused on the way they look and whether or not they are attractive to the opposite sex."

Director Abel Ferrara thinks movie fans will be surprised by new film 'Welcome to New York'.
The flick has been inspired by the downfall of Dominique Strauss-Khan - the French economist and politician, who was accused of sexually assaulting a hotel employee in 2011 - but Ferrara warned moviegoers not to expect a documentary-like production.
He explained to ShortList magazine: "In the beginning when we were screening it, I started sensing people were coming thinking it was going to be a documentary on Strauss-Khan. And the film is not a documentary - this is a film made by me and my guys, with Gerard [Depardieu] and Jacqueline [Bisset] in it. And that's a separate entity."
The filmmaker warned audiences not to bother seeing the movie if they want a documentary-style piece.
He added: "So it needed Gerard saying, very straight up, 'I'm not playing the guy, because I don't respect the guy.' Ya dig?
"What you're seeing is a performance. You come here to watch the Dominique Strauss-Khan story, you're coming to the wrong f*****g theatre. You'd better leave now."
The film is strongly disliked by Anne Sinclair, who was Strauss-Khan's wife at the time of the scandal.

Ian Somehalder wishes he could seduce women more "easily."
The 'Vampire Diaries' star, 35, admits he struggles to flirt with people of the opposite sex and believes his life would be a whole lot better if he could entice ladies with a bit of charm.
When asked what skill he wishes he had, he replied: "Seducing women so easily. If it were that easy, life would be so much simpler."
Meanwhile, the hunky star - who is reportedly dating Nikki Reed - believes he can tell straight away if he's in to someone as his heart starts to flutter and his body is taken over my a bizarre "electrical feeling."
He explained: "You know when you stand next to someone and there's an electrical feeling [that's when you know you're into someone]. You feel that connection and your heart beats fast."
Ian - who dated his co-star Nina Dobrev for three years until they called off their romance in May 2013 - claims good company and a bottle of wine can help him get over heartbreak a lot quicker.
He told Women's Health magazine: "There are a million ways to get over it [a break-up]. You have wine, you have exercise, you have meditation, and you have friends. Friends can be your meditation and so can Pinot."

Ray Winstone insists he's just a "dad", not a "hardman".
The 57-year-old actor has a reputation for being a tough guy thanks to his roles in gritty movies like 'Nil By Mouth' and 'London Boulevard', but he insists he's nothing like the characters he plays on screen.
Ray explained: "People write things like I'm a hardman, they just write things like that.
"I'm not like that - I'm a dad. I've got three daughters. I look after my family and that's that. I'm not a hardman."
As father to three daughters - 32-year-old rapper-and-model Lois, 29-year-old actress Jaime and 13-year-old Ellie - and husband to his wife of 35 years, Elaine, Ray admitted that spending time with his children is what he cherishes most and revealed he takes inspiration from his black cab driver father Raymond J. Winstone and his late mother, Margaret Richardson.
He told Loaded magazine: "I had a good life growing up. There wasn't the money but my dad and mum kept a family together. My gran and granddad were the same. We've tried to have the same approach towards the girls. I sometimes think I've been a bit strict - but I'm also a big softie really. I worry for them, obviously."

Lindsay Lohan wants to guest star on 'The Only Way is Essex'.
The 'Canyons' actress - who was recently romantically linked with former 'TOWIE' star Tom Kilbey - is said to be keen to land a cameo on the British reality show because she is a huge fan and watches every episode on YouTube.
A source said: "Lindsay's obsessed with all things Essex and she's watched every episode of 'TOWIE' on YouTube.
"It's like her new fix. She's been telling anyone who'll listen that she'd love to guest star in a few episodes and has even asked her management to set up a meeting with the producers."
This comes after Lindsay - who is said to be keen to move to the English capital - has been spotted holding hands outside the Club Room at the Miabella Club in London with 'TOWIE' newcomer Vas J. Morgan.
A show source told Now magazine: "We always ensure that everyone on the show has a genuine connection to Essex. As a friend of Vas, Lindsay might fit the bill, but there are no plans as yet."

John Partridge has lost four stone since he left 'EastEnders' two years ago.
The 42 year old actor, who played Christian Clarke in the BBC One soap, shrunk from 211lbs to 176lbs due to the stress of seeing his mother develop Alzheimer's.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz, he said: "As I'm my mother's primary carer, I haven't had time to sit down and relax. It's been like having a baby.
The hunky star left the show in 201and made a brief comeback in April for funeral of Lucy Beale (Hetti Bywater), but has no plans to return full time.
He added: "It's [caring for my mother is] also one of the reasons why I won't be returning to 'EastEnders.'
However, John has signed up to appear in the upcoming celebrity gymnastics show 'Tumble', which has also helped him get back into shape.
He explained: "My whole physique has changed again since training for the show started. It gives me great pleasure to know that on a Saturday night my mum will be able to switch on the TV and see me. She's my number one fan and I'm her number one boy."
'Tumble' kicks off tonight (09.08.14) on BBC One at 6:30pm.
