The Days of NSYNC

Before looking at every member individually, let's look at the band itself. NSYNC was incredibly successful during its years of making music and performing.

Their second album, No Strings Attached, sold one million copies in one day, and a record-breaking 2.4 million copies in one week. This record remained unbroken for 15 years.

Singles like "Bye Bye Bye," "This I Promise You," "Girlfriend," "Pop," and "It's Gonna Be Me" reached the top 10 in several international charts. They received eight Grammy Award nominations and performed at big events like the World Series, the Super Bowl, and the Olympic Games.

They sang and recorded with music superstars like Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Celine Dion, Phil Collins, Aerosmith, Michael Jackson, Gloria Stefan, and more. 

2002 to 2009

In 2002 the group announced a temporary hiatus to take a break, but it became a permanent one as the group decided to move on separately. Their breakup wasn't officially announced until 2007 by band member Lance Bass.

After 2002 the group made occasional appearances and attended award shows together. In 2003 they regrouped at the Grammy Awards to sing a medley in tribute to the Bee Gees. In 2004 they performed at their annual NSYNC Challenge for Children basketball tournament.

In 2005, the band released a greatest hits album with all their old favorites and including one new track that had yet been unreleased, called “I'll Never Stop.” This started rumors of a possible reuniting of the band and future new music, but the rumors never came true.

2010 to Today

In 2010 they dropped another album of singles called The Collection that up until that point had only been released in the UK.

He eventually recruited Chasez to join an all-male singing group, which would become NSYNC. The rise of his own stardom, and the general decline in the popularity of boy bands, led to the dissolution of NSYNC.
