How the work sounds and why Düsseldorf matters
Backstreet Boys built their reputation in the late 1990s with polished pop and vocal harmonies on albums such as Backstreet Boys, Backstreet’s Back and Millennium, mixing upbeat dance-pop with ballads that became radio staples worldwide.
Those records turned singles like I Want It That Way, Everybody (Backstreet’s Back) and As Long As You Love Me into international hits, and Germany was one of the early markets where the group’s material reached platinum status and helped cement their standing in European pop.
