Week Ending Sept. 7, 2008: Beating The Teen Idol Curse
…
This is New Kids' first studio album since 1994, when, in a rather desperate bid to change their image they briefly identified themselves as NKOTB. When that album barely cracked the top 40, the members went their separate ways. So New Kids had no presence during the "boy band" boom of the late ?0s and the early part of this decade, when Backstreet Boys and 'NSYNC were on fire. New Kids were the previous decade's boy band, which is something of negligible commercial value.
But now, they're the boy band from two decades ago, which is a different story. They're so far out, they're back in! Backstreet Boys, alas, are now the previous decade's boy band, which explains why their 2007 album, Unbreakable, has sold just 183,000 copies. At their peak, they sold that many copies in a day.
