Backstreet Boys

rock group

Close friends and family make for close harmonies in this a cappella group named for an Orlando, Florida fleamarket. Their album, Backstreet Boys (1996) made a splash overseas a full two years before it caught on in the U.S. The band's follow-up, Millennium (1999) has sold more than 11 million copies. Members include cousins Brian Littrell and Kevin Richardson, as well as Nick Carter, Howard Dorough, and Alexander James “AJ” Mclean.
