Responding to such rumors in 2007, Bass informed the Orlando Sentinel that the group had "definitely broken up" in light of Timberlake's desire to continue his solo career.

Meanwhile, Joey Fatone launched a movie career and later performed on Broadway, Chris Kirkpatrick starred in the reality TV series Mission: Man Band, and Lance Bass became a certified cosmonaut in the hopes of making it to outer space before moving into TV and radio hosting work, as well as LGBTQ+ advocacy.Ī compilation, Greatest Hits, appeared in 2005 and the group's website shut down in 2006, however, prompting increased speculation about *NSYNC's future. Timberlake released his solo debut that same year, successfully making the jump from boy band vocalist to critically acclaimed solo artist, while Chasez also made his own solo bid with 2004's Schizophrenic. The album featured a stronger debt to hip-hop and included several songs written by Timberlake and Chasez, an opportunity that may have whetted their desire to pursue respective solo careers.įollowing an elaborate stadium tour, the group went on hiatus in mid-2002.
The album appeared that summer to continued fanfare, with first-week sales reaching nearly two million - a feat that made Celebrity the second fastest-selling album of all time, bested only by No Strings Attached. *NSYNC returned to the road in early 2001, this time to promote the impending release of Celebrity.

Nearly two and a half million copies were sold by the end of the week, and three singles soon cracked the Top Five in America: "Bye Bye Bye" (which many viewed as a sendoff to the band's old management), "It's Gonna Be Me," and the ballad "This I Promise You." Supported by a 76-date American tour that grossed over $75 million, No Strings Attached proved to be the most popular album of 2000, selling nearly ten million copies. After successfully escaping from Pearlman's contract and signing with Jive Entertainment, *NSYNC happily watched as sales of No Strings Attached topped one million during its first day of release. The album was originally slated to appear in 1999, but a series of legal battles with former manager Lou Pearlman delayed its arrival by several months. Home for Christmas followed later that same year and went double-platinum, while a similar version was released in Europe under the title The Winter Album.Īlthough already celebrated as one of pop music's biggest acts, *NSYNC rose to greater heights with the release of No Strings Attached in 2000. Accompanied by a tour of the nation's roller rinks, it became immensely popular and eventually sold more than ten million copies, thus establishing the singers as teen pop titans. The album was then released in America during the spring of 1998. The album was initially released by BMG Ariola Munich, and *NSYNC became an overnight success throughout much of Europe, where the singles "I Want You Back" and "Tearing Up My Heart" were sizable hits. The group recorded its debut LP, the eponymously-titled *NSYNC, with help from a series of producers, including Denniz Pop (whose protégé, Max Martin, would later work with the band after Pop's death in 1998). Along with Chasez, the four agreed to form a boy band, and *NSYNC officially launched after the addition of bass singer Lance Bass. Timberlake soon returned to Orlando, where he befriended Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone.
While the group did reunite for a performance at the 2013 MTV Music Video Awards, the individual members of *NSYNC have all gone on to pursue their own varied opportunities, with Timberlake emerging as the biggest star, enjoying a highly successful, Grammy-winning music and acting career.Īlthough *NSYNC emerged in 1995 in Orlando, Florida, singers JC Chasez and Justin Timberlake had previously co-starred on The Mickey Mouse Club before relocating to Nashville, where they worked on solo projects with the same vocal coach and songwriters. Working closely with producers like Max Martin and Denniz Pop, *NSYNC enjoyed almost immediate success, hitting the Top Five in the United States and Europe with their eponymous debut and spawning the hits "I Want You Back" and "Tearin' Up My Heart." 2000's No Strings Attached and their final album, 2001's Celebrity, fared even better, both topping the Billboard 200. One of the top boy bands of its era, *NSYNC helped to define the sound of danceable, R&B-influenced 2000s pop and launched the career of singers and former Mickey Mouse Club stars Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez.
