Editorial Review:
The Backstreet Boys are a Grammy-nominated American vocal group. They were launched by boy band producer Lou Pearlman, and have been together since April 20, 1993. They have 13 Top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and have sold over 100 million albums worldwide, making them the best selling pop group of all time and the second best selling boy band overall, only trailing behind The Jackson 5. By their return in 2005 their sound had changed, incorporating only live instruments (some of which they play) and a more guitar and piano driven pop-rock sound. After the 2005-2006 tour, original member Kevin Richardson left the group on June 23, 2006, to start a family, but the four-piece refused to rule out a possible return for the singer. The now four-member group consists of Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell and A. J. McLean. The quartet has since released two albums, the most recent on October 6, 2009, titled This is Us, which went back to pop music, although is still considerably different from their classic sound.
