Backstreet Boys

1990s: a time of great popularity for "boybands" in the pop landscape. In terms of fame, they were second only to Take That. The formula was always more or less the same: five guys (Nick, Brian, Kevin, Howard, A.J.), sweet voices (usually one sings while the others provide backing vocals), good looks, and music videos featuring dance routines in unlikely settings to show off some pecs (not to mention Nick's outrageous hair, which set trends for— in my opinion—too many years). But if you were a teenage MTV addict back then, you were humming along too!
