March 16: This is the most recent pic of the BSB, at the Grammy Award February 24 in Los Angeles.
Here are a few songs which could make it on Millennium:
Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely
I Need You Tonight
Who Do You Love
Back To Your Heart
Perfect Fan (written by Brian)
That's What She Said (only on US version)
By Your Side
Where Do We Go From Here (written by Brian)
My Heart Stays With You
Treat Me Right (duet w/Foxy Brown)
Say What's In My Heart (written by Babyface)
If... (written by Nick)
Tender Love (written by AJ)
Love Song (written by Brian)
Touch Of Your Hand (written by Brian)
Back To Your Heart (written by Kevin)
I'll Be The One
Sacred Trust (with the Bee Gees)

(duet with Gary Barlow)
Now, remember, not all of these songs will make it to the album. It looks like there's going to be two versions of Millennium. The US version will contain That's What She Said, which can be found on the 2nd international release of the album, Backstreet's Back.

March 7:
Here is an extract from an article:
The eponymous debut from Jive Records' teen ensemble the Backstreet Boys, eclipsed the 10 million mark in just 18 months of release. Van Halen's Warner Bros. disc 1984 also topped the 10 million level during the month, but took 15 years to do so. It's the second Van Halen disc to top that level. The band's 1978 self-titled debut hit the mark in 1997.
This is from MTV news:
Ginuwine Eyes Collaborations With 'N Sync, Backstreet Boys -
While Ginuwine is preparing for the March 16 release of his sophomore album, "100% Ginuwine," the R&B singer is also in the process of landing some songwriting gigs with the likes of the Backstreet Boys, 'N Sync and vocalist Rome.
For the 'N Sync project, Ginuwine actually traveled to Florida to see the group and so he could get the lowdown on the vocal group in person.
"When I went down there," the singer told the MTV Radio Network, "a guy who had worked on two songs for my album, Mookie, he knows them very well and he introduced them to me. We kicked it off. They're real cool guys, they're down to earth. Me and them were talking about duets and stuff like that and we spent about a week together. It was cool."
No word yet on when an 'N Sync/Ginuwine collaboration might surface, but we'll keep you posted. Meanwhile, the singer is considering another duet -- "Final Warning" with Aaliyah -- as the second single from "100% Ginuwine."
March 4: Choir To Be Heard On Album -
You can listen for some Lexington choir members on the next album from the Backstreet Boys. Band member Brian Littrell... who is a 1994 graduate of Tates Creek High School... is including the choir as background vocals for a new song on the ``Millennium'' album. Littrell was in Lexington yesterday to direct the singers. He tells the Lexington Herald-Leader he wanted to do something to give back to the school.
