This week's Blast From The Past belongs to the Backstreet Boys. They are the biggest selling boyband of all time and have amassed many records throughout their 15 year career. They released their 5th album late last year, called "Unbreakable", and are currently touring. They come to London in May with the tour, but sadly the tickets have already sold out! Starting as a five-piece, BSB have lost a member, Kevin, since 2006. He left due to personal reasons and that he couldn't keep up with the gruelling BSB schedule. However the band are still going strong and throughout their career, they have notched up countless hits including: I Want It That Way, Larger Than Life, The Call, Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely, Quit Playing Games (With My Heart), All I Have To Give, Incomplete and mant more. Today I bring to you "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" which some argue to be their biggest hit. Everybody knows this song, it's classic - and so is the video! Take a look!
