Shakira easily celebrates a third consecutive week at Number 1 with “La Tortura” + the Backstreet Boys enter the charts with their first single in almost five years

The Backstreet Boys finally make their grand return to music after their two year hiatus. Even though the 90s were packed with successful boy groups – Take That, *NSYNC, Boyzone – the Backstreet Boys were the supreme rulers of the decade. The Backstreet Boys have sold over 100 million copies worldwide and scored multi-platinum singles all over the world. On this list, the Backstreet Boys were a phenomenon as well. The American boy group scored their first hit single with “We’ve Got It Goin’ On” in October 1995, which kickstarted the boys’ success. Soon, more hits followed including “Get Down (You’re the One for Me)” and “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back”, which both peaked at Number 2 for numerous weeks. The Backstreet Boys scored their first Number 1-hit in May 1999 with “I Want It That Way”, which would went on to become the best-scoring release of 1999 and one of the best-scoring releases of the 90s altogether. The single achieved 4 x Platinum Status and became the 2nd best-scoring single by a boy group of all time. The Backstreet Boys scored two more Number 1s, “Larger Than Life” and “Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely”. In total, the Backstreet Boys scored three Number 1-singles, thirteen Top 10-singles and seventeen Top 40-hits. The boy group amassed over twenty-one certifications, certifying the Backstreet Boys as the best-scoring boy group to this date. The Backstreet Boys finally return with “Incomplete”, debuting at Number 13 this week.
