Add article description


The discography of American pop vocal group Backstreet Boys consists of ten studio albums, 31 singles, one live album, three compilation albums and 33 music videos. As of 2019, they have sold more than 130 million records worldwide,[1][2] becoming the best-selling boy band of all time. Formed in Orlando, Florida in 1993, the group consists of Nick Carter, Brian Littrell, Kevin Richardson, AJ McLean and Howie Dorough. Richardson left the group in 2006 to pursue other interests,[3] but rejoined in 2012.[4] The Backstreet Boys released their debut single "We've Got It Goin' On" in 1995, which peaked at number sixty-nine on the Billboard Hot 100.[5] The single, however, entered the top ten in many European countries.[6] Their debut album, Backstreet Boys, was released internationally in 1996, and was certified three times platinum in Europe,[7] and diamond in Canada.[8] In 1997, they released their second international album, Backstreet's Back, which continued their international success. At the same time, they released their second self-titled album in the United States. It peaked at number four and eventually became the tenth best-selling album of the 1990s.[9]

The album debuted at number three on the Billboard 200, selling over 291,000 copies in its first week of release.[13] Never Gone's follow-up, Unbreakable, released in 2007, became their first album to not receive any certification in the United States.
