Biography
'N Sync (often
stylized *NSYNC) was an award-winning Grammy nominated musical
group. The group's launch to fame was financed by Lou Pearlman, an
Orlando con man. In 2001, Rolling Stone magazine named 'N Sync "the
biggest band in the world", and since 1995, 'N Sync has sold over 56
million records worldwide.
Formed in Orlando, Florida in 1995, the group consisted of Justin
Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone and Chris
Kirkpatrick. After heavily publicized legal battles with their
former manager Lou Pearlman and former record label Sony BMG, the
group's 2000 album No Strings Attached sold 1.1 million copies in
one day and 2.4 million copies in one week, giving it the highest
first week album sales ever in US and #3 worldwide, and their 2001
album, Celebrity, holds the record for the second-highest first full
week of sales.[4] In addition to a host of Grammy nominations, 'N
Sync has performed at the Academy Awards, the World Series, the
Super Bowl and the Olympics, and sang or recorded duets with the
likes of Aerosmith, Mary J Blige, Britney Spears, Nelly, Michael
Jackson, The Jackson Five, Stevie Wonder, Celine Dion, and Gloria
Estefan. The group also appeared as themselves on The Simpsons, in
an episode entitled "New Kids on the Blecch", which aired on
February 25, 2001.
While 'N Sync announced a "temporary hiatus" in spring 2002, the
band has not recorded new material since. The group's official
website shut down in summer of 2006, and in 2007, Lance Bass
confirmed that the group has "definitely broken up." [Source:
