Billboard Comments On *NSYNC Vs. Backstreet Boys

Keith Caulfield of Billboard.com fielded a question from a fan wondering why is perceived as the bigger act in the boy band world. Caulfield says, “For each groups three studio sets, ‘N Sync has moved 24.5 million copies of its albums, while Backstreet Boys have sold 27.4 million. Your point has been proven.” He continues, “Why has the media and the general public perceived as the more successful of the two acts? Radio is a factor.” The last two albums have produced more top-20 hits (6 in total) on Billboard’s Hot 100 than the Backstreet Boys have (3 in total) by comparison.

  7. antaun says:

    I am a Backstreet Boys fan, but I have to admit that N Sync are perceived as the biggest group because they ARE the biggest group. It didn’t start because radios play N Sync more than the Backstreet Boys like the magazine speculated, but rather it started when N Sync broke the Backstreet Boys record sales with their album No Strings Attached.

  8. johnpaul says:

    Backstreet Boys are the best , Westlife are good singers but are behind Backstreet Boys, NSYNC are the third best

  9. brad says:

    fu** you all NSYNC are the best boy band and the all girls like the boy band especially Justin Timberlake he is the most hoot guy in the band ……

  10. ashley says:

    o-town beats all the boy bands #1 all time. liquid dreams #1 video all time and the other song is #1 ballad all time

  11. carter4ever says:

    Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, A1, plus one, 98 Degrees and O-Town are my favorite boy bands … BSB and NSYNC are the best for me but I like BSB more than NSYNC … I don’t like Westlife because most of their songs are only revives … and yeah jologs nga cla but they are not 100 percent jologs because there are a 2 songs that I like from them … the only Westlife songs that I like is ” I wanna grow old with you ” and ” swear it again ” … well BSB is always a step ahead than NSYNC … maybe if there’s no BSB then there’s NSYNC … I like Nick Carter than Justin Timberlake too …
