Does anyone know whereas BSB play any more instruments. They seem to have an army of producers and Kevin Richardson and Nick Carter play and arrange the music. However I don't know whereas they play anything more as on most of the albums there aren't any credits here on WP. And I wonder whether should we put a section about the instrumental part of their contribution apart from just singing. I hope you guys will say anything more.
Can anyone find out the BSB's salary per year? That information can be posted here under Earnings or Income 223.234.93.148 ( talk) 17:44, 27 December 2012 (UTC) yes an income section is a good idea — Preceding unsigned comment added by 223.190.232.170 ( talk) 14:57, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Anyone have the NZ charts book by Dean Scapolo? It can provide useful information on the sales/certifications of their first two albums and their first few singles. 223.236.83.156 ( talk) 15:45, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
The article for The Space Show (concert tour) is unsourced, and I couldn't find the significant coverage in reliable sources that would enable it to meet WP:NTOUR. I'm suggesting that that article (and probably a few of the other tours) be merged either here, under the Tours section, or to a (new) Backstreet Boys tours article. Dylanfromthenorth ( talk) 03:35, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
The tour did exist and the article is wrong. Songs played are from their 1996 debut album (and a couple of unreleased songs that since became diehard fan classics). 1997 was the date of their "international debut album", meaning US debut. Why delete an article that is pretty much spot on except for that error? Surely references are findable. I know how this works, but sometimes needing references to state public known facts is just tedious. But in sure a long search will provide them. I would do the search and edit myself,but I am terrible with that editing format. Plus I vowed to never make a substantial contribution in editing after i created the very best of the beach boys article and somehow my changes are not logged there. akujy ( talk) 00:35, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
Adult contemporary (AC) is a radio format targeting an adult audience rather than teenagers. AC is not a musical genre by itself; instead the format can contain songs of various genres including contemporary R&B, vocal pop, folk rock, soft rock, pop rock and straight pop music.
These are the cited sources describing the Backstreet Boys as moving from a teen music style to "adult contemporary":
I agree completely that the album Never Gone targets an adult contemporary radio audience. My point is that it does so by being more mature in the vocal pop genre, which is explained by some of the above sources. None of these sources say explicitly that AC is a musical genre, so I don't see why we should make that leap by putting AC in the infobox genre parameter. I suggest removing AC from the infobox parameter, and rewording the article prose in a minimal fashion to suggest that AC is a radio format rather than a musical genre.

Hi. Going through the archives, I see that this topic was briefly brought up before, but no justification was given as to why they are called a "vocal pop group" in the intro ("because that's what they are" is not sufficient reason), as opposed to "boy band".
The source given for them being a "vocal pop group" is unreliable as it is primary source whereby they refer to themselves as such in an interview. However, most every secondary source refers to them as a boy band (even if they aren't technically "boys" anymore), even the journalist in that aforementioned primary source. Surely we should be going with what reliable neutral third party sources categorize them as. What the members themselves wish to be categorized as is irrelevant.
Am I wrong to say that an overwhelming majority of reliable secondary sources refer to them as a boy band and not a vocal group? Any objections to changing it to boy band? Bennv3771 ( talk) 04:03, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

Closest claimed record sales to their certified units, and properly sourced, is 100 million records sold, as List of best-selling music artists states. Two Wikipedia articles contradicting each other is unhelpful. The units certified (72M) is 55% of 130M. CC: @ Krystaleen:. Cornerstonepicker ( talk) 17:24, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
It should be 130. There are reliable sources and this was never a problem before. Why with this band only? I would be willing to bet a lot that they have sold over 130M. Certified sales are definitely not the be all end all of proof. Album certifications are not as well. Millennium should be more than 13x platinum as it is under-certified. And so on. I can't believe the edit was made to 100M. Smfh akujy ( talk) 00:53, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
They were the first to top 10 chart their first NINE albums since Sade. They are the first to top ten chart their first 10 albums since Led Zeppelin (69-82). A quick Google search or a read through the Billboard's site will provide confirmation and a reference. akujy ( talk) 00:19, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
There should be a new subsection created for the period of no more than 2019 - Present. The Title would be DNA and return to World Tours, or something among those lines, closing 1.10 as "2015–2018: Dead 7 film and Las Vegas residency." I think DNA for sure marks a new period and deserves its own section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Akujy ( talk • contribs) 20:05, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
Kevin Richardson came back in 2012, when was he in the group in 2010-present during the second half of This Is Us Tour and the rest of NKOTBSB Tour? 108.46.251.85 ( talk) 02:15, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
Since no one has responded at the album's talk page, I thought that I would be able to gain consensus here. Recently I've been working on the draft for the song "Chances" here. However, the draft was constantly declined and eventually rejected, due to the lack of the song's notability from various sources. I have just discussed this issue at the Teahouse here [1], which the editors there stated that the draft's rejection would be able to be overturned if the editors here are able to gain consensus to move the draft to the mainspace. Although there are several sources that don't fully establish the song's notability even if it was moved to the mainspace, I hope that it would lead to more editors being able to contribute towards the article to gather more notable sources.
If anyone is willing to participate in this discussion, can you state the reason why the draft should be moved to mainspace if you Move, or whether several elements of the draft should be moved to the album article or temporarily kept as a draft if you Keep. — Angryjoe1111 ( talk) 08:37, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
