There were a couple of other songs we did during it like “Just Got Paid” with this whole cartoon-y theme.

For the 2000 MTV Awards we had TV screens for “Bye Bye Bye.” That was really fun. You had to adapt quickly there was no other option.Ĭhris: My favorite routines were for awards shows. I was from a show-tune world and we were all about spirit fingers. To this day, several times a day I hear someone walk by me and go “Bye Bye Bye” and do the hand motion! When I joined the group I was not a dancer.

Lance: One of my favorites to perform was “Bye Bye Bye.” Any time a song has an iconic dance move in it like that it’s a beast. We did it for the record label, not for us. It was on the European album - this big European dance song. I don’t even think it made it to the first American album.Ĭhris: There’s a song called “Riddle” that’s absolutely horrible. We performed it on our first tour and I never felt right singing it. We played around with a little techno in the late ’90s and it was never good. We were just playing around with different styles and songs we thought would be cool. We were an acapella group so the only sound we knew we loved was Boyz II Men or Az Yet. Lance: Ah there’s so many contenders! When you first start out as a new band, especially when you’re teenagers, you don’t know what your sound is yet. It’s funny that “it’s gonna be May” caught on so much because when Justin was doing it, the producer was like, ‘Yeah I need you to say it more like mayyyy, like a meaner “me.” Worst *NSYNC Song It was a 24-hour shoot and we didn’t sleep. The fact she used a sample from my favorite song makes me love her even more!Ĭhris Kirkpatrick: “It’s Gonna Be Me.” Once we got to perform the song and rehearse choreography it was so much fun to do. We just had no idea what it was gonna sound like. I knew the Ariana sample was happening because we have to approve them. Lance Bass: My favorite has always been “It Makes Me Ill.” Kandi Burruss wrote it and I freaking love her. To celebrate the milestone anniversary, Lance Bass and Chris Kirkpatrick reminisced with Vulture about their halcyon days making dirty pop, picking the best and worst and most and least of *NSYNC. Frontloaded with their signature hit “Bye Bye Bye” and the meme-inspiring “It’s Gonna Be Me,” the fivesome created memorable videos, choreography, and outfits to match the bombast of the songs. It heralded their split from their disgraced former manager Lou Pearlman, and with its forward-thinking mix of funk, R&B, and electronic-pop, secured their standing as one of the biggest boybands to ever exist. They shifted 2.4 million copies of the album in its first week of sales alone ( a record only since topped by Adele, 15 years later) and surpassed any other album released in the year 2000. On its cover Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick, and Lance Bass appeared as five puppets on strings, but at the time, the group was at the peak of its cultural control.
