1. I became a Backstreet fan in late '97, got the first album on CD, and I loved it immediately, and so I'd watch MTV a lot/listen to radio and hear the albums when I was in middle and high school, got to see you in concert 6 times!!!!! BSB fan for life!!! you guys are the best!!!!

  2. I became a BSB fan when in 1997. Soap operas are huge here in Brazil and "As long as you love me" was playing in one of them. I got hooked by the first time I listened to it. It was difficult that time for an 11-year-old kid to discover international singers, but during a musical program it was talking about a boy band which was getting famous around the world. That moment I got to know the band's name: Backstreet Boys. After that I tried to discover everything that I could about them and I really thought one that we would be friends. LOL.

  3. I became a fan in 1997.
    I was raised by my grandparents, and my Uncle who was about 20 at the time, was still living at home.
    One day the 5 of us were in the car, I was in the backseat in the middle since I was the smallest, my uncle in the front passenger seat with headphones on and the volume up so loud he might as well taken them off and just put the cd in the car’s player. From what I could hear I was loving the music. I paid close attention to when he switched the cd out for another and saw “Backstreet Boys: Backstreet’s Back”. I held on to the name until I saw my parents that weekend and begged them for that album. Finally getting it I listened to it over and over, I’m surprised I didn’t burn a hole through it. After that it was all downhill for my parents, I was hit with BSB fever and couldn’t get enough.
    My senior year of high school, I was still 100% KTBSPA, I met my husband who admitted he liked some of BSB’s songs; brownie points. One of our songs is “Safest Place To Hide”.
    He bought me every album from Never Gone to current as gifts and he even took me to my first BSB concert and again for the recent DNA World Tour in 2019.

    After all these years, their music, the lyrics, still strike something in my soul. They are even more relatable than ever, many of us are married and the fact we are now in the same moments in our lives as they are make the music that much better.

  4. I started became a fan last year, 2019.. Yes.. I'm their newest fan. And all started when I play "No Place" on YouTube. I was touched by the music video which made me feel in love with them so much. Then I listened random songs from their random albums.. Well, one of my favorites here were "The Call", "Straight to My Heart", "Larger Than Life", "God, Your Mama and Me" by Florida Georgia Line ft. Backstreet Boys (Which became my most favorite among all and in this song made me feel deeply in love with Nick Carter), Everybody (Backstreet's Back), and "Safest Place to Hide". "As Long as You Love Me", "Shape of my Heart", "I Want It That Way" was also my favorites because I use to listen them before when it was made popular in our country. Until now I use to listen their songs every day and every night while I'm studying because I feel so relaxed and inspire while studying. Btw, I'm Alea Ver.. 19 years of age and proud to say that I'm a Backstreet Boys' fan since 2019 until forever. It is my dream (anyway it became one of the things in my bucket list) to meet them and to watch them perform live. Hopefully after I graduated in college (I'm 2nd year now) I can make to their upcoming tours. Hopefullyyyy!! I love you boys.. Backstreet Boys <3 My forever love and inspiration <3

  5. I don't remember the exact moment I became a fan. I liked their music back in 1996 when I was 12 years old, but I became a proper fan when Nick stole my heart around Feb 1997. I had all the videos and CDs and was obsessed with finding out new information online - not so easy in the late 90s! I loved their concerts in 1998 and 1999. I've never stopped liking them, but I've recently rediscovered them and I can't wait for them to return with a UK tour! Kathryn, England.

  6. Sigo con mi msg. No fui al This Is Us Tour xk justo nació mi hija y era muy bebita.
    Tengo algún que otro single (aunque me gustaría tenerlos TODOS) y tengo TODOS LOS CDS. Tengo canciones inéditas las cuales no salieron en los discos que se editaron en latinoamérica.
    También tengo una biografía de ellos desde sus comienzos pero no está completa. Los conocí en persona el año pasado en el IAWLT World Tour Argentina en el Luna Park gracias a que pude comprar la VIP Gold!!! Estaba temblando!!! REcién entré en razón que los conocí el 31 de Diciembre de 2015 a la 1:00 AM ¡¡¡¡Lo que lloré!!!!!!

  7. Soy de Argentina. SOY fan de Backstreet Boys desde los 12 años de edad. Me acuerdo que la primera vez que ví uno de sus videoclips era Navidad, vísperas de Año Nuevo (acá es Verano).
    Vi "Anywhere for You" y después "Get Down" por un canal musical que solo pasaba videoclips llamado The Box, y me acuerdo que dije #¿Quiénes son estos potros? Era 1995 casi 1996 y en la radio acá en Argentina pasaron por primera vez "We've Got It Goin' On" y dijeron que eran ellos. Me volvi loca en ese mismo momento por ellos.
    Empecé a buscar info por todos lados (en ese momento NO HABÍA INTERNET) asique tenía que esperar a comprar las revistas semanales para ver si traía algo de ellos. Así fui recolectando de todo de ellos. Fui a casi todos los recitales de ellos como grupo (Me faltó el This Is Us Tour por

  8. The moment I became a BSB fan happened in 1996 when I was 12. I was watching MTV after school and 'All I have to give' came up and that was IT moment! I fell in love with these five and couldn't wait until I see their videos again spending days around TV. Then all this craziness started: collecting posters and magazines, buying albums and video tapes with their shows.
    I've been a BSB fan for 19 years and they've always been there for me with their music, no matter what I was going through and for this I will be always thankful!!
    I'm a BSB fan for life!!!

  9. I am SO sad i missed out on telling my story so i will do it in the comments!

    I was in 3rd or 4th grade, I dont remember exactly when I heard "Quit Playin' Games (With My Heart), but I heard it somewhere because I remember RUNNING home off the school bus everyday and sitting by the radio to hear it (they always played it around the same time everyday). I might have even recorded it on a blank tape from the radio, lol. They also always played it at our Skating Rink back in the day! My real dad (who is passed now), got me their album self entitled for my birthday that year it came out and ended up liking it and kept it for himself (he didnt live with us), so he gave me money to buy another one :). I was BSB everything, all day and everyday from the time I heard that song. When we finally got internet, all i did all day was search anything about BSB. I remember being in their fans of the Millennium book! The day i saw them in concert for the first time their first concert date of the "millennium", was their "into the millennium" show at Penn State. We had nose bleeds but it was still the best day of my life. I am so blessed i can still follow this band and have gotten to meet them and see them front row still to this day. I can listen to their older albums and remember exact moments from what i was doing and where i was when I listened to them as a kid. So thankful they are still here. <3

  10. Even though I have been listening to BSB off and on since 2000, I haven't become a die hard fan until recently. I am a musician myself and I always wanted to meet the guys and go on a cruise with them. Besides two other bands, they are my soul. I took a hiatus from being a fan, but I am back and cannot wait to renew my membership, I am forever a BSB fan!
