The Backstreet Boys' rise to fame was relatively
quick. With the release of Backstreet and the single
Quit Playing Games, they broke in to the charts
both in Canada and the US.
With seven platinum albums and their album Millennium
selling over 1.3 million copies in its first week
alone, they have not looked back since.
In 2000, Black and Blue debuted at number one on
Billboard's 200 albums chart, selling 1.6 million
copies in its first week and establishing their
status as pop icons.
