You've got male
We ranked the 14 best boy bands. Who's #1?
'N Sync - They produced some solid hits "I Want You Back," "Tearin' Up My Heart," "It's Gonna Be Me," and dance moves"Bye Bye Bye" before Justin Timberlake realized his total awesomeness as a solo artist and the group broke up
Backstreet Boys (ON TOUR) - These handsome folks much prefer to be referred to as a "vocal harmony group" as opposed to boy band and will sing a cappella OFTEN to demonstrate those skills. Having just celebrated their 20th anniversary, maybe we should grant that request...
Jackson 5 - Before he became the Kind of Pop, young MJ was singing and dancing in step with his siblings, producing legendary hits like "I Want You Back" and "I'll Be There"
New Kids on the Block (ON TOUR) - You can only be a member of this band if your name begins with a "J" or a "D"...which turned out to be quite fortunate for Mark Wahlberg, who found his destiny in rapping/acting/modeling
98° (ON TOUR) - Before Nick Lachey famously became the smarter of two Newlyweds (the other half being Jessica "Is this chicken or fish" Simpson), he was belting out heartfelt ballads like "Because of You"
Menudo - The Latin pop group that gave Ricky Martin his start—without their success, he may have never had the opportunity to live La Vida Loca. GASP.
One Direction (ON TOUR) - The LITERAL new kids on the block, this British-Irish baby-faced bunch inspire insanely fanatical behavior amongst ladies of all ages
Il Volo (ON TOUR) - Alright, they don't dance but TECHNICALLY, they are a boy band. A popera boy band.
Big Time Rush (ON TOUR) - Started as a Nickelodeon series in 2009, they eventually garnered fame as a boy band independent of the TV show
Mindless Behavior (ON TOUR) - These young'uns spent two years in vocal and dance training before unleashing nary a single unto the world. It's paid off so far, as they've scored opening slots for Backstreet Boys, Justin Bieber and Janet Jackson.
The Wanted (ON TOUR) - These English-Irish boys started picking up steam in the states with their "Glad You Came" single—AND they're managed by Scooter Braun, who also reps pop heavyweights like the Biebs, Carly Rae Jepsen and PSY
O-Town - A result of the MTV reality show "Making the Band," their shelf life was short but they had THAT ONE SONG ("All or Nothing") that will live on forever via karaoke
LFO - Did name checking their pop-predecessors NKOTB in "Summer Girls" help this trio go platinum? Or was it Abercrombie & Fitch? Or was it just THAT good?
