McFly's 2006 hit single 'Star Girl' will be played to NASA astronauts tomorrow morning.

Fans of the boyband orchestrated a Twitter campaign to get their number one track played by the US public space programme after it offered 35 people the chance to talk live to astronauts circling earth.

The majority of responses to NASA were from fans of the group requesting that it played the song, which includes the lyric: "There's nothing on Earth that could save us, when I feel in love with Uranus." The event will be shown on NASA's website.

McFly are currently working on their fifth studio album, which is rumoured to have a sci-fi theme based on Fred M. Wilcox's Forbidden Planet.
