Britney, Backstreet, NSYNC, Eminem & other TRL favorites all had albums that sold over 10 million copies.
Backstreet Boys – 'Backstreet Boys' (1997)
14x Platinum
BSB’s eponymous debut featured the mega-hits “Quit Playing Games (with My Heart),” “As Long as You Love Me,” “All I Have to Give,” and “I’ll Never Break Your Heart.”
Interestingly, only the 1998 reissue had “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back).” This was apparently due to the fact that while BSB was already known internationally, the label felt it would be odd to have a song named “Backstreet’s Back” on their first album released in the US.
This album also marked the start of the Max Martin era of pop music, an era which we are still currently in, 20 years later.
