Backstreet Boys and N'Sync, the two boy bands, did not do very well the first time they were put out. It took the Backstreet Boys a year to break in America; they broke these artists' in Germany first. But both bands were popular in the clubs because the video pools, Rock America was one, and they actually released their videos to the clubs a year before they came out in America and they were successful because back then the CVC chart was still in existence, those videos were getting played by DJ's and they were reporting them. This is just simply based on the fact that it was something to throw on at night and they just played it and then the rest of what happened to the Backstreet Boys and N'Sync was history.
