About the Album:

After their self-titled 1997 debut, *NSYC split with their management, citing that financier Louis J. Pearlman defrauded them. WK They moved to Jive Records, a company considered the kings of teen-pop because of artists such as the Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears. To dinstinguish themselves from their peers, *NSYNC incorporated pop and R&B elements. WK The New York Times’ Jon Pareles described it as “1980s rhythm-and-blues that sought to balance pretty melody atop hip-hop’s street-level beat.” WK

The music didn’t have quite the “charismatic punch ala Britney or Christina” WK but *NSYNC still “deserve credit for shaking things up a little bit, since it’s resulted in an effervescent, ingratiatingly cheerful album that’s a vast improvement on the debut.” AMG

“The storming lead single Bye Bye Bye [is] a pile-driving dance number with the catchiest chorus they’ve ever sang.” AMG It created “hype for the album’s eventual landmark success.” WK No Strings Attached debuted at #1 on the Billboard album chart in the United Sates with 2.4 million copies, setting a record for one-week sales. The record held until Adele’s 25 in 2015.

The “futuristic synth-driven” WK Digital Get Down “is about video cybersex, which is a clear indicator of post-pubescent consciousness of the group.” WK Billboard’s Al Shipley said Space Cowboy (Yippie-Yi-Yay) and It Makes Me Ill were the kinds of songs which attracted “the young fans who made teen pop into a cottage industry.” WK *NSYNC incorporated “beat-box type vocals in It’s Gonna Be Me, Just Got Paid, and percussion in Bringin’ Da Noise.” WK

The album is “considered to be the peak of the teen pop genre.” WK It also marked the transition from massive CD sales for blockbuster albums to people downloading music via peer file sharing sites.

“The album isn’t really just singles-n-filler, it actually is well sequenced and fairly balanced, much like the Backstreet Boys’ Millennium or Christina Aguilera’s [debut] album. Like those records, No Strings Attached pulls away from the standard dance-pop formula, strengthening it with harder street beats, electronica flourishes, ballads with some grit, and well-crafted pop tunes. Nobody is going to mistake this for Fatboy Slim, Beck, or TLC – it’s still lightweight teen-pop. Yet, it’s very good teen-pop, managing to not only work well within its limitations, but to push it slightly while retaining its breezy, hooky identity.” AMG

About the Song:

“Bye Bye Bye” was a chart-topping song for ten weeks, according to the Gavin Report and Radio & Records. The song also spent five weeks atop the Billboard radio airplay chart. However, it only reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100, which integrates radio airplay as well as sales. Now, if you lived through the boy band days of the early millennium, you may be thinking, “what do you mean, NSYNC wasn’t #1 in sales also? That album was a monster!”

The album No Strings Attached was absolutely a major seller and its lead single, “Bye Bye Bye,” did much to build that demand. The group premiered the song on October 28, 1999 at the Radio Music Awards, but it was never released as a commercial single. WK This became a common practice in the ‘90s to get people to plop down for the entire album instead of just one song. That meant the song’s chart performance might take a hit but the album sales benefited – and boy, did they benefit in the case of NYSNC.

Strings sold 2.4 million copies in its first week – a record for one-week sales that stood for fifteen years until Adele outdid it with her 25 album in 2015. Not surprisingly, Strings would go on to be the biggest seller of 2000 and eventually sell more than 14 million copies in the United States alone.

As for the song, “Bye Bye Bye” was originally intended for English boy band 5ive, but they rejected it in an effort to move more toward rap. WK Lyrically, it was about “a guy who has reached the end of his patience in his relationship and is ready to leave.” SF Band member JC Chasez described it as being about “kissing somebody off after they burned you.” SF Billboard magazine said the song was one of “the most decisive breakup anthems in pop history.” WK Allmusic.com’s Stephen Thomas Erlewine called the song “a piledriving dance number with the catchiest chorus they’ve ever sang.” AMG Complex’s Kathy Iandoli ranked it the best song ever by a boy band. WK
