A couple of weeks ago (April 18-21, 2024) the Backstreet Boys and thousands of fans were in Cancun, Mexico for Backstreet's Back at the Beach! One of the highlights was the 30 for 30 concert. The set list was chosen by the fans attending the event who got to vote for the songs. Today we go through each song and chat about them. Do you like the list the fans picked? Which songs would you have wanted on the list?

In honour of the Backstreet Boys 31st Anniversary we look back at some of our favourite memories over the years.

Wishing everyone headed to the first ever Backstreet Boys "Backstreet's Back at the Beach" event in Cancun a very awesome vacation! Happy 25th Anniversary to the Backstreet Boys hit single "I Want It That Way"! Today we chat about one of the Boys biggest songs. How do you feel about IWITW? Still loving it? Over it? Classic Hit? Let us know!

Road Trip! Sofia and Cinzia headed to Grand Rapids Michigan to watch the first ever "A Night of Symphonic Boy Bands"! Chris Kirkpatrick from *NSYNC, Jeff Timmons from 98 Degrees and Erik-Michael Estrada from O-Town teamed up with the Grand Rapids Symphony for a night of performing songs from their Bands, as well as songs from Backstreet Boys and Boyz II Men. A really cool event!

Happy Easter to those that celebrate! This week we bring back the Would You Rather Game: Easter Edition We pit 2 Boy Banders against each other and decide who we would want to do a random Easter activity with. Feel free to play along and put your answers in the comments!

Lydia's back! We share a few Boy Band Updates and then review Justin Timberlake's new album "Everything I Thought I Was" What did you think of the album?

*NSYNC had a mini reunion at Justin's show in LA. They performed some hits and then their new song "Paradise". Sofia and Cinzia also went to the Westlife Concert on March 11, 2024 in Toronto. We recap the concert and setlist. What a great show! Have you seen Westlife in concert?

Sofia and Cinzia decided we should brush up on our Westlife song knowledge before the Toronto show this week. What better way than to listen to their first greatest hits album? What's your favourite Westlife song? tags: #boybands #popmusic #pop2k Join us on our socials: Twitter: https://twitter.com/boybandbreak Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/boybandbreak/

Hey everyone! Sorry we missed last week's episode. It's been a busy few weeks. Happy Birthday to Sofia! We start off with some Boy Band Updates and then chat about Joey Fatone on Steve-o's Wild Ride podcast. It was a really good interview. Have you listened yet?

On today's episode we have some "brief" Boy Band updates (for about 24 mins lol) and then in honour of Family Day in Ontario Canada, we found an article about Boy Banders and their wives and kids, so we chatted about that. Thankful to the Boy Bander Wives and families for sharing their loved ones with us. Which Boy Band families are they missing from the list? tags: #boybands #popmusic #pop2k Join us on our socials: Twitter: https://twitter.com/boybandbreak Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/boybandbreak/

It's Valentine's Day 2024! We're playing the classic "Date, Marry, K*ll" with our favourite Boy Banders. Do you agree with our picks? Let us know who you would choose in the comments!

This week we are talking about Boy Bands performing at malls and the rise and fall of Boy Bands. We read and discussed these articles: https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2023/04/04/nsync-lfo-nostalgia-boy-band-concert/ https://www.34st.com/article/2023/02/boy-bands-one-direction-jonas-brothers-pop-music-exploitation Have you ever seen a Boy Band perform at a mall?

It's been a while since we chatted about Boy Band Articles! Sofia found a few for us to read through! This week we are reading an article from Buzzfeed: 15 Former (And Current) Boy Band Members Who've Opened Up About Some Of The Wild And Strict Rules They Had To Endure : https://www.buzzfeed.com/noradominick/boy-band-celebs-speak-out-rules What do you think? Did you know these Boy Banders were going through these things? What other wild or horrible things have you heard from other Boy Bands?

So we had "a few" Boy Band updates since last week. The quick updates ended up taking about 35 minutes. LOL Then we did a recap of Chris Kirkpatrick (*NSYNC) and Brian McFayden (MTV)'s podcast Name Drop! It's been around for about 3 months now. They interview celebs (Musicians, Actors, Athletes and more) and ding a bell every time they or the guests name drop another famous person. The episode we chatted about was the one where they interviewed BBMAK. We learned some fun stuff! Make sure to check them out anywhere you listen to podcasts or on YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfuCvhA6AxWq5dLWR-c4vqicCXSpCg92B&si=mDjR48nLMlbBQBYg (Also don't forget to subscribe to us!)

Happy New Year! We chat about some Boy Band updates with Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC and O-Town. Since we recorded this last week, there was already another update with the Joey Fatone and AJ McLean tour "A Legendary Night". Tickets were announced and went on sale already for the first set of shows. More info is here: https://linktr.ee/alegendarynight Other things that happened this week after we recorded the episode: Justin Timberlake is doing a free pop up show on January 19th in Memphis and Jeff and Drew from 98 Degrees will be at 90s Con in CT in March.

On today's episode we chat about the 3rd Trolls movie: Trolls Band Together and chatting about *NSYNC's involvement. Have you watched the Trolls movie yet? What do you think of the song "Better Place"? Do you think *NSYNC has any plans for future events? Or do you think that this is all we're getting from the five of them for a while?

Happy New Year! As is tradition on this podcast, on our last episode of the year, we like to recap our favourite Boy Band moments and adventures from the last year! Concerts, experiences, albums and more! Sometimes we also forget what we did lol What was your favourite Boy Band moment from the past year?

It's almost Christmas. To put you in the holiday mood, we posted online asking for your favourite Boy Band Christmas songs. Here's your suggestions! We had them compete against each other to narrow it down to the top 16 Boy Band Christmas songs. We created a Spotify playlist with almost all the songs on it (except "It's Christmas Time Again" and the songs from the Boy Band Holiday Christmas special): https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5nZEOhSuN912wYh09UvXLk?si=26j2X8BITXidGyt92MNg-g&pi=u-Cl6An9e6Rb-p Did we miss any of your favourite Boy Band Christmas songs? Comment below! Wishing you all "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays" from the Boy Band Break team!

We were FINALLY able to record with all 3 of us together in person, so we figured what better thing to do than to play another Boy Band Board Game! Today we played *NSYNC's Backstage Pass game. Bonus - since we're Canadian, we also had the option of having some questions in French. Most of us haven't spoken French since Grade 9, so not the best. 🤣 Play along with us and see if you get the answers! Who do you think will win? Did you have this game? What other Boy Band Board Games should we play in the future?
