Well, I know I for one have been counting down the days.

After an extended break and the loss of original member Kevin Richardson, the Backstreet Boys will return Oct. 30 with their next, as-yet-untitled studio album for Jive Records. The first single, the piano-heavy rock ballad "Inconsolable," will hit U.S. radio outlets Aug. 27.

Richardson, who exited in June 2006, was not replaced in Backstreet Boys, which also features Nick Carter, Brian Littrell, Howie Dorough and AJ McLean. The group is celebrating its 10th anniversary on Jive this year.

The new album is the follow-up to 2005's "Never Gone," which debuted at No. 3 on The Billboard 200 and has sold 747,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Among the collaborators are producers Rob Weiss and Dan Muckula.

While taking time away from Backstreet Boys, Littrell found success in the Christian music world with the 2006 album "Welcome Home" (Reunion). The project reached No. 3 on Billboard's Top Christian Albums chart.

[Barrage]

From reading that blurb-wouldn't thier 2005 Album be considered thier comeback album? Considering it opened at No.3 and sold 700,000+ copies and all.

What is a backstreet boys?

it means taking it in the butt.

 

[CrushDance]

Didn't we already have this "comeback" ?

I'll admit though, when I was younger and my sister listened to them. I hated it so much, now it's not so bad. Would be a nice nostalgic treat if nothing else.

 

[ParticleReality]

Come on Nsync, you should come back the same day and kick their asses.

Spoiler

I was a huge Nsync fan. I had those puppets and shit....it was so gay, yet awesome. Well worth the beatings I took in school.

Ah k thanks.

 

[NomarTyme]

98 degrees needs a reunion too.

 

[Kevtones]

Creed's first album is awesome actually

My Own Prison? I wouldn't call it awesome, but it was a pretty decent post-grunge record, especially considering the rest of their releases.

 

[pissmypants]

Jeez, I remember in ~5th grade, my friends little sisters went crazy over this crap. Can't believe they're coming back...

 

[davepoobond]

why?

 

[C4Lukins]

Creed's first album is awesome actually

That is not true.

 

[Jasup]

Backstreet boys could finally join forces with Spice Girls forming Backstreet Spice - world would meet its end.

Spoiler

Where's the NKOTB reunion?

 

[davepoobond]

That is not true.

[xaosslug]

This thread is just schockingly embarassing. When I am standing before the pearly gates, I am pleading the 5th on moderating this condensed shame.

i take your backstreet's back and raise you an 'i want it that way'
http://youtube.com/watch?v=W4J0kSby_Oc

i heard it on the radio the other night and it was the best treat the radio could have given me. i ALWAYS get all giddy when they play late 90s/early 2000s pop music.

i can only find mild embarassment in people not openly admitting that they liked nsync more, because let's face it, they were better.

 

[farnham]

as long as there will be music theyll be coming back again...

*Nsync were clearly the better of the two, but there were no real winners in this war.

 

[valparaiso]

I DON'T MEAN TO DRAG IT OOOOOOOOON
BUT I CAN'T SEEM TO LET YOU GOOOOOOOO

 

[Soulhouf]

WHAT? WHY? HOW?


WTF

 

[farnham]

I did not buy their newest album.. but the one song i heard several times on MTV wasnt all that bad..

the whole boyband hype died down the recent years

and Nsync and the BSBoys are pretty much everything that was actually good about that trend.. (Westlife yuck.. new kids on the block yuck.. boyzone double yuck... take that was kinda mmkay.. but robbie is better solo..)

 

[KeepitGeriatric]

*Nsync were clearly the better of the two, but there were no real winners in this war.

we got the nsync debut album, no strings attached and celebrity. the true winners were we, the people.
