The Backstreet Boys are coming to India. Every kid is eagerly awaiting the visit. We decided to pick one of their ‘Best of’ collection of major hits which made them the big international sensation they still are. Amazingly put together is a collection of songs that brings back memories from when I was a teen and the guys were at the prime of their career. A must have addition to any music collection.

Some of the best songs by the Backstreet Boys were truly songs like As Long as You Love Me, I Want It That Way, Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely, Shape of My Heart, Larger Than Life' and the more mature Inconsolable and Incomplete and guess what, they’re all here.

These boys are good. The harmonies and beat just don't stop. The riveting Quit playin games (with my heart) opens the collection followed by songs like As Long as You Love Me, I Want It That Way, Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely, Shape of My Heart, Larger Than Life' and the more mature Inconsolable and Incomplete and guess what, they’re all here.

Their songs never get old. I always like to buy Greatest Hits CDs of bands/groups I like because it means I can have all their tracks in the same place and listen to a CD all the way through without interruptions. This is a great album. I really love their other songs like the new songs they added just for this collection like Drowning. Those like me who were teenagers in the 90s know this group and its music very well, which despite its simplicity has still made history.

Christmas 2022 saw the Boys release a highly anticipated ‘A Very Backstreet Christmas’ that made its #1 debut on the Billboard charts. Released on October 14, the very first Christmas album from the multi-Platinum super group made its mark in its first week out, which just shows how popular the band still is.

For nearly three decades, the Backstreet Boys have continually captivated millions of fans with their impressive catalogue of hit songs, making them one of Pop music’s most influential performers. With countless Number One albums and singles, record-setting tours, numerous awards, and worldwide sales in excess of 130 million, Backstreet Boys have been recognized as the best-selling boy band in history.

If you are a BSB fan, or simply enjoy their music, this album is what you need. I don't think it's been off my CD player many times. Definitely one of the best boy bands of all times, and even though the girls literally swoon over them, I know some men who also like them, I’m one of those guys.

This album lives up to its title and features all of the Backstreet Boys top hits and singles. Recommended for any Backstreet Boy fan looking for a go-to album with all their hits.
