Are boy bands back?





Boy bands like the Wanted and One Direction have become a hit sensation to audiences in the U.K. and newly in the U.S. They're coming back to surface and mesmerizing everyone. The Wanted song 'Glad You Came' hit #1 on Billboards Hot 100 Singles Chart the second weekend it came out. Also, their single 'All Time Low' reached #1 in the Untied Kingdom for a week. Another boy band, One Direction, was formed on the X-Factor. Pussycat Dolls lead singer Nicole Scherzinger and judge Simon Cowell believed that i these five solo artists joined together, they would be sensational. They were on the right track as they hit #3 on X-Factor and continued their career in music. Their debut single 'What makes you Beautiful' peaked at #1 in the U.K. and charted top 10 in several international markets. Then, they made their album 'Up All Night' which sold more than 100,000 albums in United Kingdom and 176,00 copies in the United States. One Direction also won the Best British Single award at the 2012 Brit Awards. I love how boy bands everywhere are coming back from the 90's. N'Sync and the Backstreet Boys rose to fame in the 1990's and opened up the doors for boy bands everywhere to rise. The Jonas Brothers was a huge sensation also in the mid-2000's but broke apart when the oldest brother Kevin started a family. Nick and Joe presumed solo careers for a short while after that. Then, Big Time Rush was revealed and sprouted on Nickelodeon. Their movie, Big Time Movie, reached over 13.1 million viewers. The Wanted and One Direction have undoubtedly brought the name of boy band back to audiences internationally. Boy bands will always be around. The Osmonds, New Kids on the Block, The Beatles and many more have paved the way for up and coming boy bands that will surely come. Boy bands have returned world wide and are making a comeback.
