is an American pop group. Performing first in July 1993, the group has received several Grammy Award nominations , charted 12 U.S Top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 , 16 UK Top 10 hits,Backstreet Boys Discography, and sold over 100 million albums worldwide , making them the highest selling pop group of all-time. Since returning to the music scene in 2005, their sound changed drastically, incorporating only live instruments (some of which they play themselves) and a rock edge. The current four-member group consists of Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, and A. J. McLean. Original member Kevin Richardson left the group on June 23, 2006. But the four-piece refused to rule out a possible return for the singer Boy band manager Lou Pearlman was inspired by the success of the New Kids on the Block in the 1980s to create his own clean-cut band. After a series of auditions in 1992 and 1993, he recruited Nick Carter (at 12, the band s youngest member), Howie Dorough, 19, and Alexander James McLean, 14. Following the departure of two members- Sam Licata (later performing as Phoenix Stone) and Charles Edwards - Kevin Richardson, 21, came aboard in March 1993. The group took its final shape on April 19, 1993, when Brian Littrell, cousin of Richardson, joined the group after a phone audition. Their first concert, on July 8, 1993, was performed for 3,000 teenagers at SeaWorld in Orlando, Florida. After a possible Mercury Records deal failed, the band was spotted in Cleveland, Ohio by an executive from Jive Records in December 1994. By June, they were recording their first single; an urban pop song written and produced by Denniz PoP and Max Martin called We ve Got It Goin On. The single struggled in the US and reached only #69 on the Billboard charts; but it sold well in Europe, later earning the band their first Gold record in Germany. In the summer of 1995, the band s first self-titled album was released in Europe and Canada, going gold within weeks in Europe. Jive and Pearlman kept the band busy overseas for the next two years, sometimes putting on tours for five straight months.
