Being founded in 1962 this agency should be mentioned as an early boy band manufacturer. Interstingly they are older than the jackson 5, the article is too anglo and centered around a random date. Are we sure there were not what would nowadays be considered a full boy band (formed by an agency and all) before the 60s? Mirad1000 ( talk) 18:21, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

Why y'all don't include The Beatles on the table of "List of best selling boy bands"? - GogoLion ( talk) 21:30, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
The edit https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Boy_band&diff=prev&oldid=1122477564 includes an accidental? pasting — changing ″Broadcasting″ to ″Broadband is not 6ft to a particular location casting″, which has not been rectified. The ″H″ at the end did disappear, after a busy evening … — 51.6.34.252 ( talk) 00:40, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
"Individuals can also go on to achieve greater success as a solo artist coming out of a boy band having used the groups popularity to build on. Usually this signals the end of the group until potential future reunions. Examples of this include Michael Jackson from The Jackson 5, Donny Osmond from The Osmonds, Ricky Martin from Menudo, Justin Timberlake from *NSYNC, and Ronan Keating from Boyzone."
Harry Styles should be added to this section, as he too has achieved greater success as a solo artist since One Direction went on indefinite hiatus. 209.93.242.250 ( talk) 14:40, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
I don't think the best selling lists really adds to the article and just makes problems. For example, many sources claim BTS has sold a lot more records than most of the bands listed. But an even bigger problem is that it requires us to strictly judge what does and doesn't count as a boy band, despite the article itself even saying that it's a loosely defined term. The Jackson 5 and Osbornes predate the term, so do they qualify? People have suggested that boy bands were molded after the Beatles, so do they qualify? I think it's for the best to just remove it.
