At 8 pm on June 24, 2022, the American boy group Backstreet Boy opened the world's first online concert on WeChat Video Account, and the Irish boy group West City Boy also appeared on the stage as a guest and performed on the same stage. According to media reports, the number of viewers of this online concert has exceeded 40 million, which not only proves that the influence of this European and American boy group that was once popular all over the world remains unabated, but also makes fans who listen to music online fall into full memories.
1990 and the 2000s can be said to be the "golden age" of European and American boy groups. In addition to the Backstreet Boys and West City Boys, which other "boy groups" can you remember that once shocked the music world of young people? I can’t remember it, it doesn’t matter, follow the “National Day” and read it down!
.Boys Zone
Boys Zone, Irish boy group, composed of 5 members in 1993.
Boyzone was successful in Ireland with their first single, Love Me For A Reason, and with the first album released in 1995, Boys Zone quickly gained fame in Ireland and the United Kingdom and in the Eurasian countries. Seven years after
was established, they eventually disbanded in 2000, selling more than 10 million records.
000 after the disbandment, all members of the boys' zone have achieved certain achievements in their careers. So at the end of 2007, they decided to make a comeback and held two tours in 2008 and 2009.
Unfortunately, Stephen, one of the band's lead singers, died suddenly on holiday on October 10, 2009, at the age of 33. The four members released their fourth album, Brothers, in 2010 in honor of their late friend.
. Backstreet Boy
Backstreet Boy, American boy group, in 1993, consisting of five members: Nick Carter , Hoy Doroff, Brian Little , Alexander James McLean , and Kevin Richardson . Backstreet Boys are considered a monument to the 90s boy group era.
They achieved incredible success after releasing the album of the same name in 1997. The success of the albums "Millennium Love" and "Black and Blue" released in 1999 and 2000 directly turned the Backstreet Boy into a real superstar.
4 years after their peak, their careers were suspended, but the five boys returned in 2005 and continued to work together. Backstreet Boys have sold over 130 million records worldwide, making them the best-selling band of all time.
And at this online concert, those immortal songs seemed to have never been forgotten. The Backstreet Boy has been worthy of the audience's enduring love for the past 30 years.
. Super Boy
Super Boy, American boy group, in 1995, consisting of five members, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fetton, Jesse Chats, James Lans and Justin Timberlake , was once considered a powerful opponent of the Backstreet Boys.
Although Super Boy's career is short, this combination is very popular and successful. Especially their second album, No Strings Attached, sold over 2 million copies a week.
From the end of the 2001 album "Celebrity" promotion tour, the Super Boy, who was at his peak in 2002, announced his disbandment. After the announcement of disbandment, all members pursued their own careers, but the most successful of them was Justin .
.98 degrees
98 degrees, American men's group, in 1996, was composed of 4 singers with perfect harmony. Unlike some other combinations of that era, members of them wrote many stories of their own in order to distinguish themselves from their competitors. 98 Degrees signed a record contract with the black supreme label Motown Motown Records, and is also the first white group to be signed into the label.
After 2002, members of 98 degrees began to engage in personal activities, but they still went on their tours.
. Westtown Boys
Westtown Boys, Irish boy group, in 1998 consisted of Chin Egan, Shann Fennan , Mark Ferhaley , Nicky Boyn Brian Nicholas McFadan and five members.
Although West City Boy is not a success in the United States, it is a very prominent name in the UK and European markets.
Westtown Boys' first single in 1999, "Swear It Again" won first place in the UK and Ireland, and their first album "West life" also hit 7 million copies worldwide. From 1999 to 2006, Westtown Boys had 14 singles hit No. 1 on the UK charts.
The West City Boy announced his decision to disband in October 2011 and had a one-year farewell tour after that. In September 2018, the four of the original group of Xicheng Boys announced their return, which made fans ecstatic.
.blue
blue, a British boy group, composed of four members, Duncan James, Simon Webber, Lee Ryan and Anthony Costa in 2001.
Blue has been loved by the audience for its album "All rise" and the single "Blue" of the same name, which laid the cornerstone of their career path. Lucky start gave Blue more motivation to continue making the album, but the one who impressed the most was their album "One Love" released a year later.
With many songs that have been deeply rooted in people's hearts, Blue has also accumulated wealth in music awards from domestic to international. However, in 2005, this group, which was only established for four years, said it would each go solo. BLUE, who just created his own world in the music industry, announced its disbandment, which made countless BLUE fans feel very sorry!
After resting for 4 years, they once again reappeared as BLUE. On May 25, 2022, they released a new single, “Haven't Found You Yet,” the first single on their sixth studio album, Heart & Soul, to be released on September 9, 2022.
or above are my favorite 6 European and American men’s combinations. Although their golden age has long passed, their songs and imprints have never faded!
