Their self-titled debut album was initially released by BMG Ariola Munich on May 26, 1997, in Germany, and peaked at number one in the second week after its release. With a record deal finally secured, the boys began touring first in German-speaking countries and later in other European territories. The album's official lead single, "I Want You Back", was released in Germany on October 7, 1996, and entered the top 10 in Germany on November 18, 1996. After being signed to BMG Ariola Munich, the group was sent to Sweden to begin working on their debut album with the help of producers such as Denniz Pop, Max Martin and Andreas Carlsson. Although the record company had some concerns with the band's name and Bass's dancing abilities, they agreed to sign the group to BMG Ariola Munich with Wright as their manager. The group performed for him and a group of BMG executives. NSYNC sent him a two-song demo-tape including "I'll Be Back for More" and "We Can Work It Out", which impressed him. Pearlman hired Johnny Wright, manager of the Backstreet Boys, to manage the group. From there, Pearlman set the five boys up in a house in Orlando, Florida, where they rehearsed constantly, learning dance routines and vocal parts, and working on promotion for their first public performance at Pleasure Island on October 22, 1995. He was nicknamed "Lansten" so they could keep the name 'NSYNC. Bass flew to Orlando to audition and was immediately accepted into the group. Timberlake soon called his vocal coach, who suggested a 16-year-old from Mississippi named Lance Bass. In need of a bass, the group auditioned several people without success. He was not fond of the group's musical direction, claiming that being a teen idol was never a goal of his. However, at the last minute, Galasso dropped out. After several weeks of rehearsals, the group set up a showcase and began planning to officially sign with Pearlman's Trans Continental Label. The group's name is also a play on the last letter of each of the initial members' names: JustiN, ChriS, JoeY, JasoN, and JC. NSYNC received its name after Justin Timberlake's mother commented on how "in sync" the group's singing voices were. Soon, they decided to even out their sound by recruiting Jason Galasso as their bass singer. Timberlake soon joined the group and recommended his friend JC Chasez, who also was a cast member on Disney Channel's Mickey Mouse Club. Pearlman looked through some tapes they had, and one of Justin Timberlake from The Mickey Mouse Club caught his eye. Then, Fatone and Kirkpatrick approached Lou Pearlman for more suggestions. This prompted Kirkpatrick to call Joey Fatone, a friend he had met while working at Universal Studios. Pearlman said that he would finance the group if Kirkpatrick would find other young male singers. Chris Kirkpatrick, who had missed the cut for the Backstreet Boys, met with Lou Pearlman in 1995 to talk about forming a second group. Justin Timberlake went on to become one of the world's best-selling music artists, with more than 32 million albums and 56 million singles sold throughout his solo career. Rolling Stone recognized their instant success as one of the Top 25 Teen Idol Breakout Moments of all time. The band completed five nationwide concert tours and has sold over 70 million records, becoming the fifth-best-selling boy band in history. In 2007, Lance Bass confirmed that the group had "definitely broken up". Although NSYNC announced the start of a "temporary hiatus" in early 2002, the band has not recorded new material since then. Blige, country music super group Alabama, and Gloria Estefan. In addition to a host of Grammy Award nominations, NSYNC has performed at the World Series, the Super Bowl and the Olympic Games, and sang or recorded with Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Phil Collins, Céline Dion, Aerosmith, Nelly, Left Eye, Mary J. Among the group's singles, "Bye Bye Bye", "This I Promise You", "Girlfriend" and "It's Gonna Be Me" reached the top 10 in several international charts, with the latter being a US Billboard Hot 100 number one. After heavily publicized legal battles with their former manager Lou Pearlman and former record label Bertelsmann Music Group, the group's second album, No Strings Attached, sold over one million copies in one day and 2.42 million copies in one week, which was a record for over fifteen years. NSYNC consisted of Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone, and Lance Bass.
