NSYNC (also stylized 'N Sync) was an American boy band, widely regarded as one of the most
successful pop acts of the late '90s and early 2000s, selling over 56 million records worldwide.
Formed in Orlando, Florida in 1995, the group consisted of Lance Bass, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone,
Chris Kirkpatrick, and Justin Timberlake. After heavily publicized legal battles with their
former manager Lou Pearlman and 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 in music history. Their 2001 album, Celebrity, holds the record for the
second-highest first full week of sales, trumped only by the group's previous record.
In addition to a host of Grammy nominations, 'N Sync has performed at the Academy Awards,
the Super Bowl and the Olympics, and sang or recorded duets with the likes of Michael Jackson,
The Jackson Five, Celine Dion, Gloria Estefan and Stevie Wonder.
The group also appeared as themselves on The Simpsons, episode "New Kids on the Blecch"
which aired on February 25, 2001.
While 'N Sync announced an "extended hiatus" in spring 2002, Lance Bass has stated that
the group is "definitely broken up."
