Backstreet Boys
The Backstreet Boys, or BSB, are one of the best selling musical groups of all-time. The boy band and pop group, formed in 1992 by manager Lou Pearlman, grew to considerable popularity in the late 1990s. Though the Backstreet Boys often competed for the same audience that popularized rival boy bands *NSYNC., 98 Degrees, and O-Town , BSB has outsold all rivals combined 2 - 1 and was the only group to find mass international popularity.
After a 4 year hiatus, the Backstreet Boys are currently staging a comeback to the music world. The brand new single, 'Incomplete', was released to radio stations on March 28, 2005. The group is currently touring club venues hoping to reconnect with their fans.
