This boy band appeared on season nine of the UK's 'X Factor,' finishing in fifth place. Once a four-man band, they've also been a trio and, as of January 2019, a duo.

Before there was Michael Jackson the solo artist, there was The Jackson 5 (later The Jacksons). Along with The Osmonds, these brothers are often credited as being the earliest predecessors of the modern-day boy band.
This short-lived band was comprised of 11-14 year olds, and can be thanked for launching the career of Jesse McCartney.
All of the '90s kids out there were shook with the news that three of the biggest boybands of the era are joining together for an epic Las Vegas show. It's the trifecta: Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, and Boyz II Men. Key members of each band have collaborated to create a live show called 'The After Party' which will take place in the Venetian Resort in August. It will be the first time the three bands have worked together, and fans can expect renditions of their greatest hits, some smooth dance moves, and special guests.
Boy bands: they've been around in one form or another since the '60s, and they've often been the music of our childhoods and/or teen years. For some of us, they were our first crushes. For others, they taught us what the word "rivalry" means (Backstreet Boys versus *NSYNC, anyone?). Boy bands have been "in", they've been "out," and now they're back in thanks to the likes of One Direction and, more recently, BTS.
They're so "in," in fact, that some boy bands of yore are reuniting. After seven years on hiatus, Big Time Rush is officially returning to the stage. They'll only be returning for a small tour, with shows in Chicago and New York, but all four original members—Kendall Schmidt, James Maslow, Logan Henderson, and Carlos Pena Jr.—will be in attendance.
