Backstreetboys, The Last Boyband Standing

Everyone remembers pop music of the ’90s, New Kids on the Block, Backstreet Boys, Nsync, 98 Degrees, Lyte Funky Ones (LFO), O-town, C-Note, Westlife, and the list goes on and on. What do all of these groups have in common, they’re all boybands! Of all of these groups created mostly by Lou Pearlman- The Backstreet Boys is the only group that is in tact. Many artists that composed the other groups are still in the music business, but they have all gone their separate ways.

The Backstreet Boys, a band composed of Nick Carter, Howie Dourough (Howie D), Brian Littrell, and A.J. McLean have now been together for 14 years. They are missing the oldest member, Kevin Richardson who made the decision to pursue other projects and he has given fans and the group reason to believe he will rejoin them on the very next album that comes out after “Unbreakable.” The Backstreet Boys are one of the most successful boy band in history. During the late 1990s their rivals Nsync lead by Justin Timberlake dominated the charts, Nsync fans thought Backstreet Boys would give up their dream and allow Nsync to completely dominate the market. It was to everyone’s shock when Justin Timberlake focused on his solo projects, and eventually cut all ties with Nsync members. This allowed Backstreet Boys to dominate the market, but Backstreet Boys never changed their musical style, Backstreet fans know Nick, Howie, Kevin, AJ and Brian are still the same guys. Over the years their musical style has improved. Unlike other boy bands, Backstreet Boys stayed together as a group even with three of the members working on solo projects.

On October 30th, Backstreet Boys will release their new album called “Unbreakable”, which sends a clear message to everyone; they are truly unbreakable. The album features tracks such as: “Inconsolable”, “Happily Never After”, “Another Way”, and “Helpless When She Smiles”, a cover of Bastiaan Ragas’ rock ballad.
