“Year 3000” is a song performed by British pop rock band Busted, released on 13 January 2003 as the second single from their self-titled debut studio album (2002).
It reached number two on the UK Singles Chart and became the 34th-biggest seller of 2003.
The idea for “Year 3000” came from Busted member James Bourne’s obsession with the 1985 film Back to the Future, hence the references to the flux capacitor and the fact that the time machine mentioned is “like the one in a film I’ve seen”. James Bourne has stated that the song was also inspired by Robbie Williams’s 1998 hit “Millennium”.
