In 2008, their lead singer Darius Rucker went solo, and became successful on his own. The only time the band has reunited was for Jason Aldean's High Noon Neon Tour when he was in Atlanta, but now they've decided to return in a major way. Kick your Monday off with us

Brace Yourself: The Backstreet Boys Released A New Song And Are Going On A World Tour

By Tanya
The Backstreet Boys have been one of the biggest bands in the country, well, the world for several decades now. After getting their start in the early 90s, they've managed to be one of the very few bands that has stuck together and continued performing. They didn't need a big reunion, because they didn't break up. Well, let's just pretend like that whole Kevin fiasco didn't happen. But anyways, they've been putting out music and performing together for 25 years now, and they have no intention of stopping. To be fair, they did warn of this two decades ago. They

By Tanya
It's been months and months of a "will they or won't they" debate, but we've finally got some concrete details about the Spice Girls reunion tour. It feels like every time they appear on a talk show or make a comment on Twitter they've been contradicting what the others have said, but now it's official, there's no going back, the Spice Girls are going on tour. Well, sort of. There is one catch, Victoria Beckham is not going to be there. We all suspected it for a while, as she herself had said that she didn't want to go on

The Tragic Story Behind Pearl Jam's "Jeremy", Now Those Involved Reveal What Happened

By Tanya
Pearl Jam is one of those iconic 90s bands that everyone remembers hearing. They were edgier than the popular music, instead fitting in alongside Nirvana in the grunge style of music that was becoming popular. Like Nirvana, Pearl Jam originated from Seattle. The band has remained extremely successful in the years since its inception, but one song they wrote definitely brought the band to the attention of a lot more people. In 1992, their song "Jeremy" was released as a part of their debut album. The song was their first foray into more story-driven lyrics, but a lot of people

Hanson Reveals What 'MmmBop' Actually Means, And What It's Like To Sing It 20 Years Later

By Tanya
When we think back to the 90s, we can pretty much hear the epic pop tunes as they sail through our memories. Whether you were a Backstreet Boys fan, a Spice Girl devotee, or Nirvana aficionado, there was one song that forced its way into the collective unconscious of us all. "MMMBop" was released in 1997, and thanks to the constant repeating loops on the radio and the repetitive chorus, it became stuck in each and every one of our heads for eternity. Even though a lot of boy bands and girl groups went their separate ways, Hanson has stayed

BSB Member Sneaks Not-So-Subtle Jab At *NSYNC Into His Anniversary Celebration

By Tanya
We all know that Backstreet Boys are the best boy band ever, right? I know, *NSYNC is also pretty great, and New Kids On The Block are also pretty alright, but BSB is the best. Well, it's not just us that know that, it seems as though they know it to. BSB's Brian Littrell recently celebrated his 18th wedding anniversary, and while that doesn't seem like the appropriate time to take a jab at the competition, it didn't seem to stop him. Littrell has always been known to be a bit of a goofball, so it's no surprise that he

After 15 Years Apart, BBMak Are Finally "Back Here" Again

By Tanya
As the 90s faded out, and the new millennium rushed forward, a lot changed. Clothes became very shiny, hair became excessively straightened, and people started to get cellphones. There was one thing that didn't change right away though, and that was that boy bands still reigned supreme. Backstreet Boys and *Nsync were obviously the two biggest groups who were constantly in a battle for the crown, but there was an entire league of boy bands that had a whole bunch of hits that a lot of us were completely obsessed with. BBMak was one of those bands. While they may

Debbie Gibson Opens Up About Being A Teen Star, And One Fan's "Dying Wish"

By Tanya
Debbie Gibson first came into our lives in the mid 80s with her song "Only In My Dreams." The singer/songwriter released the single in 1986, and was signed immediately. She recorded her first album in only four weeks, and managed to make her way onto the Top 40 charts. Gibson would later become the youngest artist to write, produce, and perform a Billboard number-one single, which she earned for her song "Foolish Beat." She was one of the biggest names in pop music in the 80s, and her bowler hats and rolled up jeans made her the style icon

Jimmy Eat World Kinda Regret Their Band Name, Share The Story Behind It

By Tanya
If you hear the lyrics "It just takes some time, little girl," you probably can't help but continue off into the rest of the song, right? 'The Middle' is one of those songs that seemed to completely take over the radio for a while and still pops into all of our heads when we least expect it. I don't know how many times I've heard someone say, "Hey," only to start auto-completing their sentence in my head with, "Don't write yourself off yet." However the band recently revealed that they may have one big regret about their rise to fame,

Backstreet Boys Sang 'I Want It That Way' With Classroom Instruments And It Was Perfect

By Tanya
The Backstreet Boys have been keeping their promise for decades now, "as long as there is music, they keep coming back again." Well, to be completely honest, they've never really left, but just go with me here. BSB's latest song called "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" took all of us by storm. It feels like such a classic throwback to their original hits and the video is absolutely 90s perfection. They have been out promoting it, doing YouTube videos and appearances at the Country Music Awards, but their latest appearance brings back a classic song that no one is ever
