Backstreet Boys

Every decade has a teenybopper band that takes the charts by storm, and the late 1990s saw the emergence of the Backstreet Boys. Picking up exactly where '80s teen stars New Kids On The Block left off, the quintet hit it big with flashy outfits, slick dance moves, and a mixture of bubblegum pop and heart-tugging ballads. The band split in early 2001, but reunited three years later and began releasing commercially viable--if not platinum-selling--albums again.
