While the Backstreet Boys are reportedly on the verge of getting dropped from their record label and while NSYNC seems like nothing but a distant memory, the group that started it all may be back to fill the boy band void. New Kids On The Block, the boys that gave teen girls plenty to scream about in the late 80s and early 90s sent a message to fans - via their recently revamped website - that an exciting and ground-breaking development is in the works. Accoring to E! Online, People magazine has reported that the development is that all five New Kids (Jordan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, Jonathan Knight and Danny Wood) will soon be returning to the pages of teen magazines as they put back together the once-fractured group. There has been no official word by the group but the site seems to state the obvious. As a fuzzy television set flickers on and off, different photos of the group flash by. "They rose from the streets of Boston," the site says. "To become the biggest band in the world. They influenced a generation. They sold over 70 million albums and grossed more than one billion dollars. Five multiplatinum albums, 10 top 10 singles, five number one singles. Then they walked away from it all. Millions of fans around the world await their return. Are you ready?"

If they redid some of their old songs, I would be all over that! I went to see them in concert with Stephanie Gruber when we were 10 and ohmygoodness, I loved them! I would have to look for my huge Jordan pin to wear (it was like the size of Dallin's head).
and your Flashback Friday can include me, I just hope I don't weigh 15 pounds more than I do now, 5 months pregnant!! Be kind to me Meghan!!
I have to admit that I was in LUV with Jordan Knight. However, somethings do not get better with age. It will be fun to watch though!
Is it a sad comment to say that I had barely scrolled the picture up and knew exactly who it was? I never saw them in concert and I was only ever "fortunate" enough to have the Hanging Tough tape, but I knew every single word still my freshman year of college. And I, sadly, had the tape with me at college I think. I thought that one in the video with the Batman shirt was cute... that was a long time ago. My loyalties have wandered over to the country stations, so I doubt I would even know if this ever came to fruition. Hmm.... very interesting. They must all be broke. I heard that's why the Eagles got back together and why bands do this type of thing.
