'N Sync (a vocal group from Florida whose age ranged from 17 to 27 when they
debuted) took by storm the teen-idol market that the
Backstreet Boys seemed to control so tightly
(they were launched by the same man, Louis Pearlman).
'N Sync (RCA, 1998) spawned two hits,
I Want You Back and Tearing Up My Heart, although the band
sounded like a parody of rhythm and blues vocal harmonies
(but with a honest flair for the love ballads).
At the end of 1999 the band went through a costly litigation with their former
employer but came out stronger.
The single Bye Bye Bye skyrocketed to the top of the charts
and the album No Strings Attached (Jive, 2000)
sold in excess of one million copies just on the first day it was released,
a record that makes the Beatles look like obscure artists.
It will sell about ten million copies by the end of the year.
