BACKSTREET BOYS ISN'T JUST A BAND. IT'S A LIFESTYLE.
Loving Howie in the Millennium era wasn’t always the loudest choice, but it was the most thoughtful one.
In 1999, while everyone else was obsessed with Nick’s boyish charm or AJ’s rebellious swagger, you had your eyes locked on the tall, mysterious one with the eyebrows and the soul-stirring stare, Mr. Kevin Richardson.
Today, it’s not about how many albums you buy… it’s about how often you stream. Whether you’re a fan of the Backstreet Boys as a group, Nick Carter as a solo artist, or any other member, streaming is now the single most important way to support their music in terms of Billboard chart success, visibility, and long-term impact.
In 1999, being a Backstreet Boys fan meant picking your favorite and defending that choice with your whole heart. Nick had the baby face, Brian had the voice, Kevin had the smolder, and Howie had the sweet charm. But AJ McLean? He had the edge. The tattoos, the sunglasses, the raspy vocals, the confident strut. He was the rebel in a sea of polished pop perfection.
In 1999, Nick Carter was the blonde-haired, blue-eyed heartthrob plastered across every teen magazine, hanging on bedroom walls, and living rent-free in the hearts of fangirls everywhere—including mine. He was the youngest Backstreet Boy, the playful one with a rocker edge and that boyish grin that made millions of us swoon.
May 18, 1999. That was the day the world got a little more dramatic, a lot more emotional, and infinitely more iconic, because Millennium by the Backstreet Boys was officially released. And even though the group is calling their Into the Millennium Las Vegas residency a celebration of the album’s 25th anniversary, let’s be real: we know the math. It’s 26 years. And it’s still everything.
Nick Carter’s long-awaited solo album, Love, Life, Tragedy, dropped this week and you better believe I am here for it. After nearly a decade without a solo release, Nick has come back strong with an album that’s deeply personal, lyrically rich, and vocally stunning.
This isn’t a comeback. It’s a coronation.
On May 9, 2025, the Hyatt Regency Irvine became home to a vibrant celebration of fashion, philanthropy, and empowerment for the 3rd annual Wine, Women & Shoes event, supporting First Tee – Orange County.
If you had told 17-year-old me—shy, quiet, only child me—that one day she’d be confidently speaking on camera, leading marketing campaigns, writing award-winning articles, and living a life she once only imagined, she probably would’ve laughed awkwardly and buried her face in a Tiger Beat magazine. But here’s the thing: I became that woman. And it all started with five guys named AJ, Brian, Howie, Kevin, and Nick.
It’s time to challenge the outdated stereotype of the screaming teenage fangirl. Because these days, she’s grown up—and...

Let’s settle a long-standing debate among pop music and just BSB fans in general: Millennium isn’t just the most commercially successful Backstreet Boys album to date — it’s the best one. Period. Full stop.
In the whirlwind world of pop stardom, it’s easy to be dazzled by the flashiest voice, the boldest moves, or the loudest personality. But every great group needs something deeper—someone who holds the center, grounds the vision, and keeps the whole thing sonically and spiritually intact. For the Backstreet Boys, that someone has always been Howie Dorough.
