Since the release of their 1997 debut album, the Backstreet Boys have been redefining the meaning of pop music success. Presently recognized as the biggest pop music group in the world, they've dominated the charts both in the U.S.-- Backstreet Boys has been lodged in the Billboard album chart's Top Twenty for nearly two years now--and internationally, where the album has received gold and platinum awards in 45 countries with more than 28 million albums sold worldwide. They've scored 5 Top Ten singles; released a multi-platinum full length video, All Access; and performed on scores of major television programs including their own pay-per-view concert special in 1999. They were nominated for a "Best New Artist" Grammy Award and named among Entertainment Weekly's "Best Entertainers of 1998." They were also among People magazine's 1998 "Men We Love," and "25 Most Intriguing People Of The Year." In May 1999, they landed on the cover of Rolling Stone.
Now with the release Millennium -- the follow-up to their self-titled U.S. debut album and the group's third international release--the Backstreet Boys are reinventing pop music stardom once again. Millennium entered the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart at #1 the week of June 5, having sold 1,134,000 copies in its first week of release and shattering the previous SoundScan record held by Garth Brooks for single-week record sales (his was a double album released during the Christmas buying season). According to SoundScan, "In addition to having the biggest sales week in the SoundScan era, 'Millennium' has now rung the most sales for an album's second and third weeks." The Los Angeles Times described this phenomenal success as "Millennium mania," further noting that the album is "positioned to be the sound of summer 1999." Outside the U.S., Millennium also dominates the worldwide charts, landing at the #1 spot in Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Holland, Hong Kong, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Italy, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan and Thailand. By mid-June '99, the album has sold over 10 million copies worldwide which includes five times platinum status in the U.S.
The recording features songs for the first time co-written by the Backstreet Boys themselves, with tracks produced by Max Martin, Robert "Mutt" Lange and Steve Lipson. On Millennium, the Backstreet Boys --NICK CARTER, HOWIE DOROUGH, BRIAN LITTRELL, AJ McLEAN and KEVIN RICHARDSON--display new depth and expanding artistry. "The BACKSTREET BOYS have earned some major main-street credibility with their new release Millennium," Dan Aquilante observed in his New York Post review. He went on to rave that the guys are, "...red-hot, with some of the tightest vocal harmonies in music," while Newsweek took note of "their impassioned harmonies."
One of the lyrical themes the Backstreet Boys explore on Millennium is their appreciation for their fans in songs such as "Larger Than Life," "Spanish Eyes" and "Perfect Fan," a song written by Brian about his mother. They also reveal a harder, edgier sound on "Don't Want You Back." The album showcases just how much these five extraordinarily gifted vocalists have grown--both individually and harmonically--since the group began six years ago. On Millennium, each of the five Backstreet Boys unique musical contributions emerge, catapulting their trademark harmonies to even more passionate heights.
As the world fast approaches the year 2000, the Backstreet Boys will once again hit the road for an extensive worldwide tour in support of Millennium. Their concerts will be performed in the round to give all their fans, both old and new, a perfect, unobstructed view of the Boys everyone can't help but love.
