Backstreet boys are recognised as the biggest pop group in the world of music today having dominated the charts throughout the world since 1996. In just four years Backstreet Boys , Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, A.J. McLean and Kevin Richardson, have accomplished this global domination by achieving Gold and Platinum awards in 45 countries, including 11-times platinum in the USA for their debut album "Backstreet's Back" and have sold over 51 million albums world-wide. The group have recently been hailed as one of the fastest selling acts in South East Asia where the album "Millennium" sold in excess of three million copies.
Backstreet Boys have been honoured with numerous awards and these have included four Billboard Music Awards, five Grammy nominations, three World Music Awards, an MTV Europe Award as well as two American MTV Award nominations. So how did five boys from America rise to the top so fast?
Backstreet Boys' story began in Orlando, Florida. It was there that high school students A.J. McLean, Howie Dorough and junior high student Nick Carter began to run into each other at local acting auditions. The three became friends and formed a singing group. The trio then decided to expand. Kevin Richardson was the next to join the group, and soon Brian completed the fivesome. They quickly became one of Florida's hottest live acts and were signed immediately.
"Millennium" was released in May 1999 and included the hit single "I Want It That Way". This album confirmed the group's status as one of the world's biggest pop acts ever. Backstreet Boys' success is set to continue with the release of their fourth album "Black & Blue" in November, 2000. The group members have taken a lead role in the writing and producing of the 14-track album which covers a broad spectrum of musical styles.
五个才华洋溢的少年,不仅舞跳得好、长相俊美、更重要的是他们个个是充满音乐天分的奇才。1994年初成军时仍只是初生之犊不畏虎的小毛头,一年之后,他们已跃登世界舞台,成为众所瞩目的新偶像,他们就是——“后街男孩”!
“后街男孩”的五个成员中,Kevin和Brian是生长在肯塔基州的表兄弟,来自深受音乐及宗教影响的家庭,从小即在教堂圣乐和唱诗班的熏陶下长大,因此练就了一流的灵魂乐合音式唱腔。另外的三名成员,A.J、Howie、Nick则来自奥兰多。这三个人原本分别活跃于演艺界,演过音乐剧;拍过电影、电视、广告。五个满怀理想的少年组成一个以优美合音见长的乐团, “后街男孩”于是诞生!
他们的首支单曲“We've Got It Goin' On”展现了男孩们活力四射的青春气息,在欧洲取得不俗成绩,在奥地利、瑞士、荷兰、法国等均有打入十名内的嘉绩。接下来的“I'll Never Break Your Heart”是首抒情曲,成功地为他们打开了欧洲的知名度。
这五个能歌善舞的后街男孩,带着阳光般的笑容,征服全球。首张专辑已获得了四白金,更在舞曲王国的德国、瑞士蝉联冠军。 |
