'N Sync

Right now, at the age of 19, I am a little embarrassed sometimes to admit who my favorite group is. This is because most people would look at me, and say… “But you’re 19 years old! You’re not supposed to like them.” But I can’t help is ‘N Sync is my favorite bands. I have gone to a few of their converts and have their posters plastered all over my wall. When I first heard their music, I knew that they were always going to be one of my favorites. It just had a way about it that made me want to get up, dance, and sing. This is a tremendously talented group. They have mastered the art of getting a stadium full of people on their feet, dancing to their music. A lot of people are under the impression that the guys are only a hit because they have their good looks, but if that were the case, ‘N Sync wouldn’t still be around today. Not only can these “boys” sing, but they are excellent dancers. Now, that matched with good look

‘N Sync has worked hard to make their music what it is today. They are more then just a typical Pop band. They are hear to stay. Many groups use them as a basis for their own work, including O-Town, Eden’s Crush, and the new “PopStar’s” group, but, in my opinion, none will ever be as good as the original ‘N Sync.

‘N Sync got its’ first big break as a group in 1997, when they signed a recording contract with RCA records. Their first big hit was in Germany with the song, “I Want You Back.” By February of 1998, this song was all over the top 40 charts. In March of ’98 their first album, ‘N Sync, was released. With help from a concert video shown on the Disney Channel and the emerging popularity of clean-cut, same sex pop/dance bands, 'N Sync's debut LP, ‘N Sync, hit the Top 10 on the LP charts and the group hit the Top 10 for the first time with "I Want You Back." By July, their album was certified “Gold.” In November the group was appearing as an opening act for the talented Janet Jackson, for her “Velvet Rope” tour. Then they decided that it was time for a tour of their own, their album had been certified 3x platinum by now. ‘N Sync’s debut LP was the 5th biggest-selling LP of 1998 according to “SoundScan” with 4.4 million copies sold during the year in the U.S.

The “No Strings Attached” tour was doing so well, the boys extended it into December. The tour sold out for almost all show dates and made an estimated gross of over $40 million. They won 5 Teen Choice Awards, in August, including “Male Hottie” for Justin Timberlake. The awards didn’t stop there. They took home 3 MTV Video Music Awards for Viewer’s Choice, Best Pop Video, and Best Choreography (which they owe to their choreographer Darrin Henson). Another award won by ‘N Sync was a MuchMusic award for People’s Choice – Favorite International Group. In November, the guys were on stage accepting an award once again for the Radio Music Awards. Awards they received included Song of the Year (for “Bye Bye Bye”) and Artist of the Year.

The guys’ had their year end with a bang. Their album was certified 10x platinum. “Bye Bye Bye” was the #1 song of the year on the ARC Weekly Top 40 Top 100 of 2000. ‘N Syng topped Billboard Year-End Charts with the Top Billboard 200 Album and as the Top Billboard 200 Artists. ‘N Sync ended the year wit
