*NSYNC

*NSYNC (sometimes stylized as ★NSYNC, formally stylized as ‘N Sync) was an American boy band formed in Orlando, Florida in 1995 and launched in Germany by BMG Ariola Munich. The group consisted of Justin Timberlake, J.C. Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone and Lance Bass.

After heavily publicized legal battles with their former manager Lou Pearlman and former record label Sony BMG, the group’s second album, No Strings Attached, sold over one million copies in one day and 2.42 million copies in one week.

In addition to a host of Grammy Award nominations, *NSYNC has performed at the World Series, the Super Bowl and the Olympic Games, and sang or recorded with Elton John, Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes, Aerosmith, Mary J. Blige, Britney Spears, Nelly, Michael Jackson, Phil Collins, Stevie Wonder, Céline Dion and Gloria Estefan.
