The Backstreet Boys emerged in the late 1990s, and we've loved them ever since. Girls could not get enough of Nick, AJ, Howie, Kevin and Brian. Unfortunately, Kevin decided to quit the band to pursue acting. We haven't seen much of him lately, but the other four have been doing quite well by collaborating and touring with New Kids On The Block.

When the Jonas Brothers first hit the music scene back in 2006, they were considered the new Hanson. But soon, Disney took them over and made them the reigning band of pop music from 2007 to 2010. The brothers -- Kevin, Joe and Nick -- made four albums in four years, had a TV show and a 3D movie.
