Backstreet Boys: Another Album On The Way!

Backstreet Boys: Another Album On The Way!

You haven’t heard the last of the Backstreet Boys!

AJ McLean, 30, Howie Dorough, 34, Nick Carter, 28, and Brian Littrell, 33, have already started working on its follow-up to last year’s “Unbreakable,” reports Billboard.

BSB already recorded some new material for their six studio album while on tour in Europe. But the boys have plans to hit the studio again after its tour of North America, which starts Tuesday in St. John’s, Newfoundland, and wraps on Sept. 6 in Seattle.

“We’re looking at getting back into the studio quite quickly,” says Dorough, adding that BSB may work again with Swedish producer/writer Max Martin, who worked with the group on “I Want it That Way,” “Shape of My Heart,” “Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)”.

“We want to hopefully have something ready to go or at least be heavily into it by the end of the year and have something out towards the beginning of next year,” Dorough says.

Dorough and McLean also have solo projects in the works.

Yay, I’ve seriously been a fan since I was 12 and now I’m 25. For all the people who say they’re a joke: why would they be a joke when they’re doing what they love and still have millions of fans all over the world. IIt doesn’t matter if boybands are considered “cool” or not. If they bother you so much you seriously have a problem.

Yeahhh!!!
Great news!!!

NSYNC >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> BSB

Grasi Carter @ 07/24/2008 at 6:02 pm

I agree with the mayority…DON’T ******’ CARE WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE THINK! THEY STILL ROCK!

CONGRATS BOYS! definitively I’ll buy the next album, without a doubt Unbreakable was amazing!

yea!!!!!! love love them!!!!

i just want to say, just because all americans hate them doesnt mean they are not successful in other places like europe, yes maybe they are over in the united stated but only there and that is because you live in a bubble with all that crap like hip hop, r&b

this is the unbrekeable tour in London, watch this and learn

YAI!! KtbSPA!! BACKSTREET BOYS ALL RIGHT WOOHOO

londonfog @ 07/24/2008 at 9:15 pm

awwwwwwwww their songs are AWESOME! KTBPA

YAY seeing them in 11 days can’t wait to see them again been a fan for 13 years! KTBSPA

real talent should be recognized!!
They would be more appreciated if they had decided to break up the group years ago… then these ridiculous ppl would love them today, they would feel so cool, cause they would be able to say they’re retro, vintage or whatever …
but bsb made the SMART decision to stay together for their REAL fans, and some stupid narrow-minded ppl that are so afraid of other ppl’s thoughts to give REAL TALENT a chance..
but it’s so much better like this you can all keep on listening to justin, miley cyrus, timbaland or whatever it is you listen to, cause talent like this doesn’t happen very often and I’m very fortunate to have bsb in my life for many many years now…
KTBSPA!!!
americans do suck at this point, I’m sorry, you guys do live in a bubble! break it you guys.. start by never coming to just jared again !!LOL
seriously, media masks reality , and the reality is they’re one of the best (in my opinion the best) vocal group ever!!!

Love the BSB since ‘99 and I was disapointed they didn’t tour in the US, only in Europe. I might get the next one only if they tour in the US!

YYYEEES!! They really can make GOOD MUSIC!! And they aint a boybant they are a BAND!

I thought their past two albums were ASTOUNDING! They’ve grown so much musically and have a more mature sound than they did back in the day. I’m THRILLED about this news! :)

That’s great news for the BSB fans. Just not for me. Aren’t there a 5th member?

YAY!!!!!! I’m EXCITED!!!!!

omgf i love these dudes. I am an American and have to agree with many of the posts. Sadly most of us, do live in a bubble. tend to think in terms of me, me, me, me, me. Its sad, but you have to understand we’ve been conditioned to live life in this sort of fashion. I’d also like to clarify that there is a massive amount of people like me in american that realize this problem.

going back to the topic on hand, next concert, i’m there! I have the money to pay for it now!!!!!!!!!!

I love these dudes, and think this is the best idea ever. Like ever! This time around, in the time that I am living and older, I will be able to go to a concert and afford the front row seats. I plan on going there.

As to the Americans live in a bubble, I agree. I am an American but I do believe that that is how most live. We have the mentality of me, me, me, me. If we don’t like it, it should be banned. But, just to clarify, this is how we’ve been conditoned. We live in such a weird time, where everybody is only thinking about their own skin and not trying to understand anything else beyond what affects them, i.e, since we don’t live outside the US we don’t tend to pay attention to anyone elses problems. But, lucky for you guys, not all americans are this way. Believe me. There are millions and millions who are educated and do see beyond the scope of the US. I read everything about the world we live in, and my world doesn’t end with news that are only published in the US but all over the world - or at least news that deals with the happenings of the whole world. Just wanted to clarify that not ALL americans are ignorant or that live in a bubble.

Going back to the topic on hand, I love BSB forever. They will always remain a part of me. <3

oh my, terribly sorry about all those posts. I kept getting wordpress errors. Dang. Said something about an unvalid name, sorry guys. Gah.

Yay! I LOVE the backstreet boys (especially Brian). I’ve been a fan of theirs since they first started and I’m so glad they’ve decided to make another album for their fans. Btw, I’m an American too, so not all of us lives in that “bubble.”

BSB way better than N SYNC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and their songs are amazing…the world isnt just black music idiots!
backstreet is back…and i love pop music and they make a fantastic pop music!

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy
i love themm…. there albums are always good.. im sure this one will be amazinggggg
:))))

Hwuut?? Seriously?? eeewww. Don’t get me wrong, I WAS a big fan of the boys back in the day. But, puh-lease! They are so lame.

Yes! I cannot wait. I love BSB, and I have been a fan for 12 years. <3 BSB forever!

It’s funny that people are calling them lame. If you are not a fan then why are you searching for them on the internet and posting comments! Who’s lame now?! The BSB are not over. Unbreakable has sold more than 3 mill worldwide and they are selling out concerts and at big venues. And to say that they are over and can’t get a clue! All groups are never as big as they first were but still stay together and tour and make new albums. Think about Rolling Stones, Journey, etc… Also, someone said boy bands are over! What about the Hanson wannabes the Johnas Bros, Naked Bros Band, etc. “Boy Bands” will always be around think way back to the Jackson 5! I also HATE the so called “FANS” that say they “used to like them but now don’t” I think that that’s the dumbest statement ever! There young days had cheezy pop songs whereas their last two albums have been great and mature! MUCH better albums!And I would hate to be in a relationship with you. YOU ARE NOT VERY COMMITTED! Well, of of my soap box. I would like to say that I was searching to find out when AJ’s first single is going to be released. His album has some amzing songs and song writting on it (that he did himself on the whole album). Can’t wait for the new BSB material! KTBSPA

I LLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEE THE BSB

AND ALL THERE ALBUMS

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! Unbreakable is awsome!!!!!! I want my boys soooooooooooooooo much!!!!!!! LOve them till DEAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant wait for AJ’s and Howoe’s solo albums!!!!! and BSB’s one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

‘Couse you know that —–>>>>>BACKSTREET’S BACK ,ALRIGHT!!

Royal_munchkin @ 12/02/2008 at 4:50 pm

OMG! I don’t believe it!!!! Just last week they said they were gonna start recording their new album, but I didn’t know they had already recorded some songs. That’s awesome!!!! Can’t wait for the next album!!!! And by the way, THEY ARE NOT LAME, OR OVER, OR WHATEVER YOU GUYS WANT TO SAY!!!! They are still amazing after 15 years of career and they WILL be around for many more years…. so…… suck it up!!!!

P.S. I’m a huge BSB fan! Always have and always will be. I love AJ!!!!

D, the ex ghost writer @ 05/28/2009 at 7:33 pm

Kevin left to basically raise his son near me in Ohio and to make movies and do broadway stuff and support his wife. Also, in case anyone cares, yes, BSB uses ghost writers, yes, I quit doing it, yes all the rumors are true about them having a former school secretary running their private websites and committing cons and having psychosis here in Ohio, California, and Flordia.

Yes, she is dangerous to BSB and all of their fans, and yes, I did check the laws and it is illegal for them to keep hiring to run all 50 of their private online websites on the internet, we’re talking all the ones she runs on websites like myspace and the other 50 ones they have on private websites that they keep claiming are run by people with the same name but aren’t them in court cases.

It’s a long story, I basically dated Nick and AJ in my teens, their jerks sadly, and she only makes them worse, and they won’t even pay me for the songs I gave them and have ruin my writing career and reputation in the media and in the fanbase and told lies in court about me in Ohio and in other states to crimes they know their webmaster, Sandra, who is considered an illegal free agent by the goverment and even their representation knows she is running scams.

I am not a BSB hater, but I don’t know how much of her invading my privacy and causing problems for fans and I, I can take and yes, most of their other webmasters outside of the offical designers of their websites are doing similar crimes to fans through their offical message boards, including using internet song writing and paying the record companies to lie and defame people about it when they know that 1/5-1/3 of Movies, music, and TV shows and marketing is done by ghost writers. I just happen to be the smartest, and the best, and their 50 year old webmaster, Sandra, wants to take all from me since I was the original first fan and BSB has been too lazy to even given a single fair chance once at all.

Sandra, BSB, and local fans, have stalked, harassed me online, abused message boards and online programs that people use for fun and information, hacking, stealing property through illegal and harassed contracting, and defamation in the media and in public forums and mage illegal consentations when they don’t have my power of attorney and broke laws of represenation and legal agreements against my will, including illegal hearings and bribing judges and politicans to get judgements without following federal laws, as well as blackmail, raping, image, and sexual abuse done for Sandra’s assument and as a marketing ploy for fans, and this is just for starters.

Sandra has even made death threats against me to kill me at 40 years of age if fans didn’t sue me to death over things I never promised them, but that she did from school, work, etc. , and companies when they know I don’t really write about music in novels, scripts, etc. Also, AJ get over yourself, I don’t care if your a BSB or not, all your doing is upsetting me on here.

http://www.gossipsauce.com/tags/backstreet-boys BSB’s e-mails are there since they broke my contracts with me. Since I did tell them the truth about Sandra and the weird stuff that has happened to me over the years, weither or not they want to believe it. It is true and so no ghost writer ever has what BSB and Lou Pearlman did to them and what they did to me because of that and so that psychos can never run this again, and also if you want to contact the networks about lying to you about me on TV, radio, etc. by all means feel free to call them and e-mail for helping Sandra con and break the law. It got so bad, I even made a group for it that BSB and her can’t bring down, since it has nothing really to do with them and is more about prevention and all the different kinds of careers one can pursue with writing and creativity as an art form and a way to educate people on laws and setting up themsleves as an entertainer as a second job, etc.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Ghostandaspiringwritersandadvice/

I did legally leave the contracts and sadly it is all true. Sadly, and I am sorry BSB lied to all, even AJ on here. AJ Mclean himself, I miss him the most, I guess because we have been friends the longest and have the most in common to some extent out of all of them. Anyways, I am doing this because if someone doesn’t the scams Sandra and BSB are pulling to keep her running their websites will get more epidemic and dangerous to BSB fans, etc. and to other music artist, fans, writers, authors, publishers, and yes, even blogers and website runners like I used to be too.

I did tell the truth, you want to know the truth about why them and I are fighting and why Sandra needs to go and why I made this group since BSB kept disrespecting me on their’s by the one Jive owns, they own, and on Yahoo! and other websites and all of the class, educational, sexist, and racial discrimination Sandra does when anyone is even reasonably critical of BSB when they can back it up too and then she hacks them an acts inapporiately and lies to all of their friends and locally so some people can’t even go to the concert hall to see a play or show, even if they’re not a problem. So make it stop. All of it and there is my second website too.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MatureBSBunofficalfans/

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Ghostandaspiringwritersandadvice/?yguid=387655563

The BSB one also has BSB’s e-mails and hers, and please don’t into it with her at all under any circumstances, she is insane literally.

Sandra is trying to mess with me and try to come off as my friend again online again, never going to happen. I can smell posing a mile a way, easy. So tell her goodbye and for those checking out the other groups I got rid of the other 2 and just made one now. So here it is, if BSB keeps making me angry, I will make BSB haters and critics group for fans, critics, and haters to get their respect and for Sandra and BSB for taking over too much of the internet from their other sanier, and just as qualified and younger fans. So now that her and the bullies can kiss my hot butt since I know I legally left the contracts, click my name for the group or click this link. Backstreet Boys e-mails included if you join.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Savefansandwriters09/

D, the ex ghostwriter @ 06/07/2009 at 6:12 am

I cancled the groups due to harassment and hacking issues with Sandra going non-stop and Brian threating me with lawsuits on TBN. When keeping Sandra around is the problem in the first place and then them lying about most of those websites to the press, radio, and TV. I love their music, but as people and business men. They really are a disappointment and to lie about the ghost writer thing and other events and their websites is just sad. I feel sorry for new and younger fans. That don’t realize how BSB works or how womanizing BSB can be. I did legally leave the contracts, so stop it.
