And I have to confess to you: Millennium, by the Backstreet Boys- it’s a bad album. I bought a whole bunch of $18 CDs for one song in my time.

I still have trouble feeling bad about this, feeling bad for the music industry. music sales and licensing was $14.6 billion in 2009, it was $6.3 billion. Later in 2000, Britney’s second album, Oops I Did It Again, the title track very much a Max Martin joint, sold 1.3 million stateside in its first week. So in 1999 you get Baby One More Time, and later that year you get Backstreet Boys’ Millennium, which sold 1.1 million copies in the first week in the United States alone, a new record that stood until 2000, when NSYNC’s No Strings Attached, featuring the Max Martin cowrite “It’s Gonna Be Me,” sold 2.4 million copies in its first week in the United States alone, a record that stood for 15 years, until Adele broke it. In 2009 the journalist Steve Knopper published a book quite instructively titled Appetite for Self-Destruction: The Spectacular Crash of the Music Industry in the Digital Age, and he wrote, “Teen pop was one last squeeze of the sponge to get the world to spend millions and millions of dollars on compact discs.” This is the hot rod driving off the cliff. At this point, the music industry is in its Caligula phase, whatever that means to you. Baby One More Time,” also the title of her 1999 debut album that sells 25 million copies worldwide, which is just a flabbergasting number. So here is where the late-’90s teen-pop supernova begins in earnest, with Britney’s “. In 1998, in the wake of Denniz Pop’s death, Max took the reins at Cheiron Studios, and later that year, as the writer and coproducer, he helped redefine what the term global success even means. When Max Martin won the Polar Music Prize in 2016-it’s a Swedish royalty thing-Max praised Denniz, saying, “He made me realize how difficult it is to make things sound simple.” Max added that the two secrets to writing the perfect pop song, in no particular order, were love (meaning his wife) and stealing from the best (meaning primarily Prince, KISS, and ABBA). The band promoted the album through the Into the Millennium Tour, which became one of the fastest-grossing tours of all time.Denniz Pop, who’d already coproduced even bigger Ace of Base songs, including “The Sign,” died of stomach cancer in 1998 he’s clearly a beloved figure in this universe, as a musician and as a human. It has since become one of the best-selling albums of all time, selling 24 million copies worldwide. It was nominated for five Grammy Awards and spawned four Top 40 singles " I Want It That Way", " Larger than Life", " Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely", and " The One". In the United States, it holds the record for most shipments in one year, with 11 million in 1999. It was their first album to be released in both the US and internationally in the same form, at the same time.

It was a highly anticipated follow-up to both their US debut album, and their second internationally released album. Millennium is the third studio album (second in the US) by American vocal pop group, the Backstreet Boys, released on by Jive Records. I do like the albums closer "The Perfect Fan," Brian Littrell's ode to his mom? This thread is only for fun, information on the album and band. that's cool, there's nothing wrong with that but please don't thread crap. If you don't like the Backstreet Boys or their music. I knew the album and Backstreet Boys were big back early 2000's but had no idea it sold over 24 million copies. 24 million as of 2020 I has no idea it sold that many. Just recently I just discovered Millennium sold 11 million copies alone in 1999. Yeah I know what people will say another boy band and definitely how The Backstreet Boys were represented with Millennium. I even explored other albums and solo albums of their discography. Over the last ten years I started exploring Millennium more and more. I did like the song I Want It That Way but that's as far as my liking of Millennium or The Backstreet Boys went. I remember when Millennium came out in spring of 1999 hearing it on the radio and seeing their music videos. I was skeptical to make this thread of course.

Yes it's the ultrapackaged look and up to date production of The Backstreet Boys 1999-2000. Of course this thread is not about any of the household rock bands we all know and love. No this band is not the Beatles or the Rolling Stones or Pink Floyd or even Bob Dylan and definitely not the Kinks.
