Accompanied by a tour of the nation's roller rinks, it became immensely popular and eventually sold more than ten million copies, thus establishing the singers as teen pop titans. The album was then released in America during the spring of 1998. The album was initially released by BMG Ariola Munich, and *NSYNC became an overnight success throughout much of Europe, where the singles "I Want You Back" and "Tearing Up My Heart" were sizable hits. The group recorded its debut LP, the eponymously-titled *NSYNC, with help from a series of producers, including Denniz Pop (whose protégé, Max Martin, would later work with the band after Pop's death in 1998). Along with Chasez, the four agreed to form a boy band, and *NSYNC officially launched after the addition of bass singer Lance Bass. Timberlake soon returned to Orlando, where he befriended Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone. While the group did reunite for a performance at the 2013 MTV Music Video Awards, the individual members of *NSYNC have all gone on to pursue their own varied opportunities, with Timberlake emerging as the biggest star, enjoying a highly successful, Grammy-winning music and acting career.Īlthough *NSYNC emerged in 1995 in Orlando, Florida, singers JC Chasez and Justin Timberlake had previously co-starred on The Mickey Mouse Club before relocating to Nashville, where they worked on solo projects with the same vocal coach and songwriters. Working closely with producers like Max Martin and Denniz Pop, *NSYNC enjoyed almost immediate success, hitting the Top Five in the United States and Europe with their eponymous debut and spawning the hits "I Want You Back" and "Tearin' Up My Heart." 2000's No Strings Attached and their final album, 2001's Celebrity, fared even better, both topping the Billboard 200. One of the top boy bands of its era, *NSYNC helped to define the sound of danceable, R&B-influenced 2000s pop and launched the career of singers and former Mickey Mouse Club stars Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez.
