The Backstreet Boys in 2002

The Backstreet Boys (BSB[1]) are a pop band. Their members are Nick Carter, Howie D., AJ McLean, Brian Littrell, and Kevin Richardson.

In the early nineties Howie, AJ and Nick were performing as an amateur trio in Orlando, Florida. They were joined by cousins Kevin and Brian.

In 1992 record producer Lou Perlman placed an ad in an Orlando newspaper that he wanted to form a vocal group. Hundreds of singers auditioned and eventually all five friends were chosen and named Backstreet Boys after Orlando’s Backstreet Market.

The group turned professional in 1993 and released their first single in 1995. They were immediately successful in Europe, but largely ignored at home.

In 1998 they had their first chart successes in the United States. In 1999 they released their third album “Millenium”, which included the hit single “I Want It That Way” and made them worldwide superstars. Their 2000 album “Black & Blue” was equally successful.

Between 2002 and 2004 the band did not record or perform, but they reunited in 2004 and have been performing and releasing continuously since then. Between 2006 and 2012 Kevin temporarily left the group.

In 2019 they released the album “DNA” which topped the Billboard charts again.
