Backstreet Boys
The Backstreet Boys, or BSB,
are one of the best selling musical groups
of all-time. The boy band and pop group,
began formation in 1992 by manager Lou Pearlman,
and grew to considerable popularity in the
late 1990s. Though the Backstreet Boys often
competed for the same audience that popularized
rival boy bands *NSYNC, 98 Degrees, and
O-Town, BSB has outsold all rivals combined
2 - 1 and was the only group to find mass
international popularity.

Backstreet
Boys Concert Tickets Tour 2005
Backstreet
Boys
The popular group BSB took its final shape on April 19,
1993, when Brian Littrell joined the group after a phone
audition. They immediately went into action with their first
concert on May 8. Their first performance in front of 3,000
teenagers was just a taste of what was in store for the
boy band. They would have to work hard for American recognition,
however.
After a possible Mercury Record deal failed, the band was
spotted in New York City, Ohio by Zomba/Jive in February 1994.
By June they were recording their first single "We've
Got It Goin' On". The following year, the boys had
a setback when their single only climbed to #69 on the Billboard
charts, however in Europe, they were beginning to get recognition
when they earned their first Gold disc in Germany.
1996 marked a big change for the boys as European popularity
grew. The boys earned their first Platinum record in Germany
(500,000 CDs sold) and toured the Far East, Canada and various
parts of the world.
By 1997 after 8.5 million dics sold worldwide, the Backstreet
Boys had their eyes set on American success. They began
to record a new album for American release and released
"Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)" as their
new single. The single quickly climbed to #2 marking a great
turnaround. By the middle of the year, the boys released
their first American album which peaked at #4 on the Billboard
charts and went on to sell 9 million copies in 1997. By
December 1997, the boys embarked on a 60-city, 20-country
tour.
1998 marked a tough year for the boy band as Brian Littrell
underwent surgery to correct a congenital heart disorder.
Howie Dorough's sister died of Lupus and the boys struggled
with their manager filing a law suit, and rumors of a breakup.
At the end of 1998, the boys had sold an additional 8 million
copies of their self titled album and were working on a
followup.
By February 1999, the boys received their first Diamond
award by the RIAA for shipment of 10 milion copies of their
album. After a strong first single, "I Want It That
Way", from their new album Millennium, the boys' sophomore
album sold over 1.1 million units in its first week setting
a record for most albums sold in its debut week. The boys
were now at a super star level. In August, they sold out
a 39-city tour in less than a day. By the end of 1999, the
Backstreet Boys met new problems declaring their Jive contract
null and void, soon striking the largest record deal ever
valued at $60 million with Jive.
In 2000, two of the boys found love, Brian and Kevin confirming
their engagements to their fiancees. In the end of the year
the boys released their new album Black & Blue, the
title of the album acting as a metaphor for how the boys
felt they were beat up by the media and others. The album
debuted with 1.6 million units sold in the first week in
America, setting a record of the first artist to have two
albums sell a million or more in its first week. They also
set the record for the first week worldwide record selling
5 million.
In 2001, the Backstreet Boys were put on hold as one of
their own, A.J., checked himself into rehab to battle drinking,
drug addiction, and depression. Another tragedy struck as
the terror attack of September 11 occurred, killing a friend,
Daniel Lee, and sparking the cancellation of all overseas
tours. In October 2001, the boys released Chapter One and
disc of their greatest hits as well as their last single,
"Drowning", until their return in 2005. By the
end of 2001 and into 2002, it was clear the Backstreet Boys
were on an extended break.
After a 5 year hiatus, the Backstreet Boys are currently
staging a comeback to the music world. The brand new single,
"Incomplete", was released to radio stations on
March 28, 2005. It has done very well, getting requested
by many of the not-so-young fans they used to have. It was
even redone on American Idol by Anthony Fedorov. The group
is currently touring club venues hoping to reconnect with
their fans.

Backstreet Boys Re-Enter Pop Landscape Tue Jun
14, 4:22 PM ET
If nothing else, the Backstreet Boys are realistic. Reunited
after four years, they don't have any illusions that they'll
be able to dominate the pop scene as they did when boy bands
ruled the world and they were the kings.
"We know that we're gonna have to pay our dues again
and we know that we're going to have to start from scratch
because everything has changed," said A.J. McLean,
the heavily tattooed, shades-wearing member of the group.
"We're not looking to be the group that we were in
'99 and 2000."
Just a few years ago, the Backstreet Boys burst out of
Orlando, Fla. to become a pop phenomenon. Their three albums
sold a total of more than 35 million copies and ushered
in a new teen music craze, buoyed by their soulful harmonies,
synchronized dance steps, clean-cut good looks and teen-fanzine
charm.
But then, "Behind The Music"-style troubles plagued
the quintet McLean's substance abuse problems led him to
rehab, and infighting, management changes and other problems
beset the group. Meanwhile, hip-hop supplanted teen pop
from atop the charts, and boy bands became as uncool as
New Kids on the Block.
So in 2001, the disillusioned fivesome went their separate
ways.
"We lost perspective pretty much," said Kevin
Richardson, the eldest of the "boys" at 33. "If
we hadn't walked away from the business and each other,
we might have self-destructed because we needed some time
away from each other."
Now, fully recharged, the Backstreet Boys have returned
this week to release "Never Gone," their first
full studio album since the 8 million-selling "Black
& Blue" in 2000. While they're not expecting an
automatic ride to the top of the charts, they think they
still have a shot at reaching the No. 1 spot with a more
adult, edgier sound that tilts more toward rock than pop.
"We feel as strongly about this record as we did when
`Millennium' came out," Brian Littrell, 30, said of
their blockbuster 1999 album that went on to sell more than
13 million copies.
"We know where we're at, and we know where we fit,"
said Nick Carter, the youngest of the group at 25. "And
I love the fact that we're underdogs again."
And acting like underdogs, the Backstreet Boys have left
nothing to chance in mounting a comeback. Earlier this year,
the group tested the waters for their new material by embarking
on a club tour a marked departure for a group that on their
last tour played stadium dates.
They've also visited radio stations to push their new record.
So far, the formula has worked their first single, "Incomplete,"
reached No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100, though it has slipped
in recent weeks.
"I think it's very smart. They really put their egos
aside," disc jockey Paul "Cubby" Bryant of
WHTZ-FM (Z-100) in New York said of the strategy. "They
didn't come in here like `Hey, we're back, we're the Backstreet
Boys.' It might have been tough for them to do that, but
I think it was smart for them to break in small."
"It was just a lot of fun. The energy in the small
venues is different than in an arena or a stadium,"
said Richardson. "It was like the old days, when we
were just starting out."
That kind of fun had eluded the group in their heyday when
a succession of No. 1 hits and albums made them more of
a commodity than a musical group. They say their handlers
at the time put too much focus on trying to cash in on their
immediate success rather than formulating a long-term career
plan. So they churned out albums even when they thought
they needed time off.
At the same time, 'N Sync was overtaking them in the sales,
and McLean was falling deeper and deeper into drugs and
alcohol.
"When it's no fun anymore, that's the big thing. I
think across the board, none of us were having fun,"
Littrell said.
The fun stopped completely when McLean's entry into rehab
in 2001 forced the band to postpone their "Black &
Blue" tour. Soon after that, the band decided it was
time to take a longer break to reassess their future.
"We had been touring for eight years straight, releasing
albums," recalled Carter. "We were burned out,
really burned."
So the Backstreet Boys scattered, and pursued their individual
goals for the first time in years. Carter released a solo
album that fared poorly; Littrell and his wife had a baby;
Richardson appeared on Broadway in "Chicago";
McLean concentrated on his sobriety, while Howie Dorough
focused on producing and writing songs for other acts.
If it wasn't for Oprah Winfrey, the band might not have
gotten back together. But on a show focusing on McLean's
battles with substance abuse, she coaxed the remaining Backstreet
Boys to surprise him on air. After the emotional reunion,
the group holed up in a hotel room and started talking about
a comeback.
"There was probably even some doubt among us when
we first started talking about it," said Dorough. "But
I think no matter what we did individually ... we all realized
our strength was among the five us together."
The group spent more than a year recording their latest
album, and reunited with old manager and producer Max Martin,
who was responsible for many of their early hits. The result,
they say, is their best album in years.
"You had that feeling like you walked out the studio
like, `This song is good, and we hadn't had that feeling
in a long time," Littrell said.
Far from cocky, the group knows that there is no guarantee
of another blockbuster.
"To be honest, of course, we'd love to have the success
that we had before. Who wouldn't want to have that?"
Dorough, 31, said. "But this time around, we've realized
that the music scene has changed. We had to go into it with
an open mind, realizing that it's not going to possibly
be that way.
"If it does come again, God bless it; but if not,
we all had to be in a good place to be able to say that
we could continue going forward and accept the way it is."
