They’ve scored 4 top ten singles, including the number one sensation "Quit Playin’ Games (With My Heart)." They’ve also racked up numerous awards, including the 1996 MTV Europe Viewers Choice Award, beating out Oasis, Spice Girls and Jamiraquai.
They are the Backstreet Boys (BSB) and they may well be the biggest pop group you've never heard of ... until right now.
Backstreet Boys is the long awaited eponymous American debut from a group that has already made its mark on the international music scene. The brand new American releases contains all the hits from BSB's self-titled European debut along with new cuts that find BSB collaborating with some of the biggest names in music: PM Dawn, (a startling remake of "Set A Drift On Memory Bliss"),Babyface ("Say What's In My Heart"),Diane Warren and Robert Mutt Lange ("If You Want To Be A Good Girl (Get Youself A Bad Boy)"). Armed with powerful harmonies, groove friendly beats, passionate ballads, a dynamic stage show and charisma that will not be denied, Backstreet Boys are ready to show their native land what the rest of the planet has already figured out: that they are more than a phenomenom, they are here to stay.
The Backstreet Boys hit their groove

BRISTOW, Va. - The Backstreet Boys had it going on at the Nissan Pavilion Wednesday, often whipping the audience into a frenzy with their R&B-kissed pop ( out of four).
They grabbed the crowd's attention at the start, entering amid fireworks that spewed confetti and streamers everywhere, and they didn't let go.
The house was overwhelmingly teen-age and female. Many in the crowd waved signs declaring allegiance to a favorite Backstreet Boy.
And A.J. McLean, Nick Carter, Brian Litterell, Howie Dorough and Kevin Richardson knew just what to do to make them shriek with delight.
Doffing the athletic gear they wore at the concert's start in favor of baby-blue silk pajamas, each took a solo turn and serenaded the crowd with a ballad.
When they weren't romancing fans, the quintet (making its fourth stop on a 46-city North American tour) was charming them with boys-will-be-boys goofiness. When the singers ribbed the band about the way they were playing, the band responded by challenging them to play the song themselves.
They did: With Carter on drums, McLean on bass, Dorough on guitar, Litterell on percussion and Richardson on keyboards, they worked their way through a spirited Quit Playing Games (With My Heart).
The quintet was clearly at home on the stage, which isn't surprising, considering the group's history. The Orlando, Fla.-based group hit big in the USA just last year and is making its first major tour here. But the Boys have been hugely popular in Europe and Asia, where they've played hundreds of shows over the past four years.
At times their dance steps recalled the moves of the old-school soul groups, but they were just as adept at hipper, more up-to-date routines. Their choreography for the ballad As Long as You Love Me was a precision drill with folding chairs.
They closed the show with an aerobic funk workout on Get Down (You're The One for Me) and a blistering Everybody (Backstreet's Back).
That they are - and they're in the groove.
