BIGGEST SELLING ALBUM BY A BOY BAND


The Backstreet Boys - Nick, Kevin, Brian, A.J. and Howie - released their Millennium album in 1999, and achieved record-breaking sales of 13 million by March 2001. The Backstreet Boys may be the biggest boy band of the new millennium, but their success had to start somewhere. In the early 90s AJ, Howie, and Nick used to bump into each other at acting auditions. They began hanging out together and started singing. Soon after, Kevin Richardson and his cousin, Brian Littrell, joined in too. The band began performing in their high school gym and at various events like Grad night at Sea World. However, it was thanks to a special fan - who made a call to Jive Records - that the boys then scored a recording contract.
