(2004)__NOTOC__"A Present for Everyone" is the second studio album by British pop rock band Busted. It was released in November 2003 by Universal Island Records and debuted at number 2 on the UK Albums Chart. [ [http://acharts.us/album/16514 αCharts.us] ] It became a triple platinum album with sales of over one million. [ [http://www.busted.com/news/index.php?month=1&year=2005 The Official Site of Busted] ]

Eight of the fifteen tracks were co-written with Tom Fletcher from McFly, while "She Wants to Be Me" and "3am" were co-written with production team The Matrix. "Fake" and "Better Than This" were collaborations between Matt Willis, Guy Chambers and Steve Power; James Bourne and Neve guitarist Michael Raphael wrote "Can't Break Thru".

Five songs were released as singles: "Crashed the Wedding", "Who's David?", "Air Hostess", "3am" and "She Wants to Be Me". "3am" was issued with the non-album track "Thunderbirds Are Go!" as a double A-side (see "Thunderbirds/3am").

Critical reaction to the album was generally positive. On bbc.co.uk, Nikki Smith writes: "They far outshine their boy band competitors, not just because of their ability to play instruments but also for the sheer energy and enthusiasm that comes through in their music". [ [http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/release/nm4h/ bbc.co.uk] ]

Allmusic states: "Though it's way too long at 15 tracks, the album at least sticks to its template of earnest, slightly bawdy tales of boys and girls wrapped around peppy, ultra-slick, and sickeningly in-the-moment guitar pop."
