NSYNC
NSYNC came together in Orlando, Florida in 1995 and went on to become one of the biggest pop groups of their era, pairing sharp five-part harmonies with choreography that filled arenas. Along with the Backstreet Boys they defined the late-90s boy-band wave, blending pop and R&B on hits like "Tearin' Up My Heart," "Bye Bye Bye," and "This I Promise You." When the group wound down in the early 2000s, Justin Timberlake went on to a major solo career, but the records they made together still hold up as some of the best pop of that period.

No Strings Attached (2000). Their biggest album and the one that turned them from teen favourites into chart-toppers, it opens with "Bye Bye Bye" and also has "It's Gonna Be Me" and the slow-burning ballad "This I Promise You."
Biography
NSYNC ( en-SINK, in-; also stylized as *NSYNC or 'N Sync) was an American vocal group and pop boy band formed by Chris Kirkpatrick in Orlando, Florida, in 1995 and launched in Germany by BMG Ariola Munich. The group consisted of Kirkpatrick, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Justin Timberlake, and Lance Bass. Their debut album NSYNC was successfully released to European countries in 1997 and later entered the American market with the single "I Want You Back".
After heavily publicized legal battles with their former manager Lou Pearlman and former record label Bertelsmann Music Group, the group's third album, No Strings Attached (2000), sold over 1 million copies in one day and 2.4 million copies in one week in the US, which was a record for over fifteen years. Celebrity (2001) debuted with 1.8 million copies in its first week in the US. Singles such as "Girlfriend", "Pop", "Bye Bye Bye", "Tearin' Up My Heart", and "It's Gonna Be Me" reached the Top 10 in several international charts, with the last hitting number 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
The group went on an indefinite hiatus in 2002.
