There will be no big surprises at the top of the "Billboard" album chart next week. The Backstreet Boys will remain at number one with their second LP, "Millennium," which sold over 620,000 copies in its second week. That gives the Backstreet Boys a two-week sales total of 1.75 million following last week's record-breaking chart debut.
The group's phenomenal success may put to rest, for the time being, rumors of any of the bandmembers going solo. Such rumors abounded last year, especially concerning Nick Carter. When MTV News' John Norris sat down with the guys recently, he asked where that possibility stood.
"Fifteen years down the road or ten years down the road," the band's A.J. replied, "if I ever did anything solo, at first I wanted to do something R&B or something R&B pop. But it's like... some of the stuff I've written or the things I hear now, I'm really starting to get into that whole like, punk rock-to-Korn type of thing. It's just different, but I mean, I would like to have some kind of sound that nobody has."
The blockbuster boy band just kicked off the first leg of its world tour in Ghent, Belgium on Tuesday. The Boys' European jaunt comes to a close on August 7 in Stockholm, Sweden, and they'll return home for the start of their American outing in September.
