*NSYNC's pop-savvy melodies, wholesome harmonies, and colorful music videos played a pivotal role in the boy-band renaissance of the late ‘90s. Debuting at the same time as rival group Backstreet Boys, this fivesome set themselves apart with complex choreography and the charm of frontman Justin Timberlake. Their second album, No Strings Attached, set an international sales record. The group took an indefinite hiatus after their third studio release, Celebrity, but reunited for a live performance when Timberlake collected MTV's Video Vanguard Award.
