The Backstreet Boys

Born: 1993
Birthplace: Orlando, Florida
Best Known As: The pop singers of "All I Have to Give" and "I Want It That Way"

The Backstreet Boys' self-titled debut album won them a 1998 Grammy as the year's best new artists. They quickly became one of the hottest pop groups of the late 1990s. The quintet's members were Alexander "A.J." McLean (b. 9 January 1978), Brian Littrell (b. 20 February 1975), Howard "Howie D." Dorough (b. 22 August 1973), Kevin Richardson (b. 3 October 1972), and Nick Carter (b. 28 January 1980). In their early days the Backstreets were especially popular with young girls and were rivals to a similar teen group, 'N Sync. In 2001 the band announced delayed a world tour while McLean entered a New York clinic for treatment of depression and alcohol abuse. McLean came back, and in later years the band continued to tour with a more grown-up sound. Their albums include Millennium (1999), Black and Blue (2000), and Never Gone (2005).

Carter's younger brother Aaron Carter has performed with the band and became a pop star in his own right... Aspiring model Angel Carter is Nick's younger sister and Aaron's twin.

Backstreet Boys
A quintet of hunkalicious singing vocalists, the Backstreet Boys is, probobaly the most popluar vocal group outside the United States. If we are the fans for western pop songs and are interested in B-Boys, let's take a look at their growing path from the very beginning.

The B-Boys gelled in 1993, in Orlando, where high school students A.J. McLean and Howie Dorough, and junior high student Nick Carter frequently ran into each other[1] at acting auditions. They began hanging out[2], started singing, and eventually Kevin Richardson and his Kentucky cousin, Brian Littrell joined in. Though their eponymous debut album[3] has by now sold more than 10 million copies in the U.S. The quintet's 1995 single, "We've Got It Goin' On" fizzled after climbing to No. 69 on Billboard's Hot 100.

But of course, it's always lonely at the top, and none of the five currently has a serious girlfriend. Here are the favorites of the Boys: When Nick goes shopping, relates one, he loves to buy sneakers and gold jewelry; Brian's favorite food is macaroni and cheese, and his favorite cologne is Safari by Ralph Lauren; A.J. likes girls with nice eyes and long hair; Howie is most likely to "invite you for a moonlight walk along the beach"; and Kevin "spent eight years of his life living in a log cabin, and he's also a qualified ballroom-dancer[4] instructor!"

In 1999, Millennium's first week out of the gate[5], the disc amassed 1,133,505 in sales, making it the most albums sold in a week - ever - since SoundScan began recording sales figures, handily trouncing the record set by Garth Brooks the previous December.
