Capitalising on this interest, the Backstreet Boys toured the continent over the summer of gaining fans wherever they went. It would take the band another 12 months to conquer the US market and achieve the kind of success they were seeing elsewhere in the world. The Backstreet Boys had come home. However, success had its dark side. During , the group became embroiled in a lawsuit against Lou Pearlman and the following year, band member Brian Littrell underwent open-heart surgery to correct a heart murmur.
It went on to become the best selling album of the year with over 9. The strategy worked and the album sold over 5 million copies in its first week, including over 1. They were in esteemed company as the only other group to achieve sales of over a million for back-to-back albums was The Beatles.
The group undertook a global tour beginning in January although all was not well within the group with reports of A. McLean checking into rehab to battle multiple addictions. The group rounded off the year by releasing a greatest hits album that, like those before it, sold over a million copies in their home market.
The early part of the first decade of the 21st Century was a period of change and unrest for the band. They split with their management company, The Firm, although Nick Carter elected to remain with the company to manage his solo career.
The Boys bought a lawsuit against Zomba Music Group who owned Jive Records for breach of contract, which was only settled when the band agreed to a revised royalty payment schedule for two more albums. However, lacklustre reviews did not affect their fan base that sent the album to number 3 on the US charts. The final change during this time was probably the most traumatic for their fans was June Kevin Richardson announced he was leaving the band to pursue other interests.
Whilst their latter work has not been as commercially successful as their earlier releases, the Backstreet Boys are still popular with their fans, both in the US and overseas. They are one of the hardest working boy bands in the business and have a strong following around the world. Their supergroup tour with New Kids on the Block promises to offer fans a treat not to be missed. Not a member? Get instant access to download your favorite tracks.
