History

The group first formed in 1995. Kirkpatrick attended Valencia Commmunity College in Orlando and decided to form a vocal group. He saw an ad placed by Pearlman and responded. Working at Universal Studios, he had made Fatone's acquaintance. Kirkpatrick hired Timberlake, who had been part of the Mickey Mouse Club on the Disney Channel, and Timberlake brought in his friend from the show, Chasez. The group lived in a house in Orlando and polished their moves with the funding of Lou Pearlman, who hired Johnny Wright, the former manager of New Kids On The Block, to be the group's manager. Lance Bass, who coincidentally sings bass, was not an original member. Jason Watkins left the group when he realized that *NSYNC was not right for him, and Timberlake's vocal coach recommended Bass, from Jackson, Mississippi, for membership. 1995 was a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ... Annette Funicello on The Mickey Mouse Club The Mickey Mouse Club was a very long-running American variety television series in the 1950s, produced and televised by Walt Disney Productions, featuring a regular but ever-changing cast of teenage performers, of which the most popular was Annette Funicello. ...

He is the first cousin of Art Garfunkel. ... Johnny Wright is a successful music manager. ... New Kids on the Block was a commercially successful boy band of the late 1980s formed in Boston in 1984. ... A basso (or bass) is a male singer who sings in the lowest vocal range of the human voice. ... Jackson is the capital and largest city in the U.S. state of Mississippi. ...

The logic behind the name *NSYNC came from Timberlake's mother, Lynn Harless. It was created from the last letter of each member's name: Justin, Chris, Joey, Jason, and JC. After Lance joined, the group gave him the nickname "Lansten" so his name would fit in the *NSYNC acronym.

After being signed to BMG, the group found success in Europe, especially Germany, in the mid-'90s, and toured constantly there. Eventually, success followed in America, too, with the album "*NSYNC" and the single "I Want You Back" hitting the airwaves stateside in 1998, again followed by constant touring.

Shortly after their extraordinary American breakthrough, in 1999, *NSYNC fought a court battle against Pearlman's company, TransCon, citing illicit business practices on Pearlman's part. *NSYNC left Pearlman to be managed by Johnny Wright of Wright Entertainment Group. Their defining album, [[No Strings Attached]], released shortly thereafter, proved that the group was back in business, selling more copies in its first week than any American release ever. Johnny Wright is a successful music manager. ...

The group produces a blend of pop, dance, and R&B that they call "dirty pop". No Strings Attached was the first album to feature this type of music; they gave the style a name with their latest album Celebrity. Rhythm and blues (or R & B) is a musical marketing term introduced in the United States in the late 1940s by Billboard magazine. ...

Their debut album, released by BMG, did well in Europe and the US as did the seasonal Home For Christmas. After the lawsuit, they broke their record contract and signed to Jive Records, home of rival boy band Backstreet Boys. No Strings Attached, released in March 2000, sold 2.4 million copies in its first week of release—the highest first week sales in music history (1.1 million of which was attributed to the first day of release). Backstreet Boys The Backstreet Boys, or BSB, is one of the best-selling musical groups of all time. ...

Their fourth album, Celebrity comes in at number two, with 1.8 million records sold in its first week. Their albums have been boosted by a number of successful single releases, including "Tearin' Up My Heart" from *NSYNC, "Music Of My Heart" recorded with Gloria Estefan for the movie Music of the Heart, "Bye Bye Bye", "It's Gonna Be Me" and "This I Promise You" from No Strings Attached. Recent hits such as "Gone" and "Girlfriend" have expanded the group's influence and fan base into the hip-hop crowd as well.

The group went on hiatus in 2002, as two of its members released solo albums -- Justin Timberlake released Justified on November 4, 2002 and JC Chasez released his solo album, Schizophrenic, on February 24, 2004. The group seems to have permanently disbanded, although some internet fans deny this to the point of self-delusion.
