Backstreet Boys and Popularity
During their heyday, the Backstreet Boys were viewed as the Kings of the music industry. And that’s not hard to believe. Even though they never won a Grammy, they were nominated many times. However their popularity has fallen dramatically. Bands like 98 Degrees, New Kids on the Block, and the Backstreet Boys are viewed as nostalgia acts. The boys have gone on to confess their frustrations with their falling popularity. In an interview, Brian Littrell revealed that the confusion surrounding the group was when their peak fell after the year 2002. He asked, “What do you do when you’re a grown man in a boy band?”

The Truth
When they first started out, the boys were exposed to some serious objectification. When ‘Quit Playing Games With My Heart’ came out, the boys were in their late teens or early 20’s. It was no secret that they were all nice to look at. In order to capitalize on their looks, the song featured a music video with the boys dancing in the rain with their chests exposed. All of the members have said this was really uncomfortable to film. But it worked, their popularity shot up even more.
