Review

Strap in, because "Millennium" by the Backstreet Boys is the pop rocket that blasted them straight into the stratosphere of boy band stardom. Dropping on May 18, 1999, this album doesn’t just flirt with pop greatness—it marries it. Kicking things off with the larger-than-life anthem—quite literally, "Larger Than Life"—you know you’re in for a wild ride. But let’s be real, "I Want It That Way" is the crown jewel here. That chorus hits harder than a sugar rush; it's pure 90s gold that’ll have you belting out the lyrics anywhere, anytime.

The boys aren’t just hitting the high notes, either. Tracks like "Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely" tug at the heartstrings, showing off their vocal chops, while bangers like "It’s Gotta Be You" blend pop and R&B into an infectious mix. With Max Martin and his Swedish wizards behind the scenes, the production is slicker than your average boy band fare. Chart success was a given—1.13 million copies in its first week and four Top 40 singles later, "Millennium" had fans eating out of their hands. Throw in their turbo-charged Into the Millennium Tour, and you've got a pop culture moment that still resonates. If you're down for some nostalgia with a catchy twist, "Millennium" is the album you need to revisit. It’s got everything: hooks, harmony, and a whole lot of heart. - Leo
