fukk no and I was legit pissed at how this bubble gum shyt made a comeback. New kids on the block was the last major boy band act at that point and that was back in 1989. So it was almost 10 years of not having to deal with that hokey shyt.

I listened to "Tearin' Up My Heart" back to back for a couple hours once, but that was because I was writing the underground classic that became "Tearin' Up Dat Ass".
Then I listened to Destiny's Child "Bills Bills Bills" and wrote "Bytch Bytch Bytch".

I turned 10 in 1998 & was just starting to pay attention to music/pop culture. Yes, I was bumping Nsync & Backstreet Boys.
How old are you?

If you sold enough magazines for the PTA you got a grand prize...........Backstreet Boys concert was the prize for unsuspecting kids at my school one afternoon. This is before they even had a single out. Backstreet, Jodeci, and countless other R&B groups were out at the time....so neutral.
I did peep the album sales when they were at their height........million albums sold in a week battles

Who Is The Definitive '90s Boy Band?: Backstreet Boys vs. N'Sync
Album Sales
When Backstreet Boys’ second US album, Millennium, debuted in May of 1999, it sold 1,135,505 copies, breaking a one-week sales record previously held by the album-selling behemoth country music star Garth Brooks.
This kickstarted a new trend of “fastest selling album” (essentially, who had the best first week sales) that everyone from Britney Spears to Eminem to Limp Bizkit were suddenly a part of. The Backstreet Boys’ follow-up, Black and Blue, then sold 1,591,191 copies, making Backstreet Boys the first artist to have back-to-back albums debut with over a million in sales.
But this ended up being small potatoes compared to their rivals: N’Sync famously made history when they sold 2,415,859 copies of their second album, No Strings Attached, in late March of 2000.
