About Backstreet Boys

Backstreet Boys is currently composed of five members with Brian Littrell, Nick Carter, A.J Maclean and Howie Dorough. Brian Littrell, along with his cousin Kevin Richardson came up with the idea of forming the band. Being appreciated for their vocals at local festivals and church choirs, they got encouraged to pursue music formally as their career. A step forward in this direction was looking for members with potential. Having that discovered in Nick Carter who happened to join them for local commercials and television, Littrell initially thought of forming a trio. The thought wasn’t yet mature, when Richardson introduced Dorough and Maclean to be members of the band. Four talented members finally got together and named their band to be Backstreet Boys.

The band has released about seven albums to date. Its third album Millennium made them internationally acclaimed super stars. Its singles ‘I want it that way’, ‘Larger than life’ and ‘Show me the meaning of being lonely’ became widely popular.  The album sold 1,134,000 copies in the first week of release and the band made the largest record deal ever worth $60 million with Jive.
