NSYNC (/ɛnˈsɪŋk, ɪn-/ en-SINK, in-; also stylized as *NSYNC or 'N Sync)[1] is an American vocal group and boy band that was formed by Chris Kirkpatrick in Orlando, Florida, in 1995[2][3] and launched in Germany by BMG Ariola Munich.[4] The group consists of Kirkpatrick, Justin Timberlake, Joey Fatone, Lance Bass, and JC Chasez. Their debut album, NSYNC, was successfully released to European countries in 1997, and later entered the U.S. market with the single "I Want You Back".

After heavily publicized legal battles with their former manager Lou Pearlman and former record label Bertelsmann Music Group, the group's third album, No Strings Attached (2000), sold over one million copies in one day and 2.4 million copies in one week, which was a record for over fifteen years.[5][6] Celebrity (2001) debuted with 1.8 million copies in its first week in the US. Singles such as "Girlfriend", "Pop", "Bye Bye Bye", "Tearin' Up My Heart", and "It's Gonna Be Me" reached the top 10 in several international charts, with the last being a US Billboard Hot 100 number one.

In addition to nine Grammy Award nominations, NSYNC performed at the Super Bowl and sang the national anthem at the Olympic Games and World Series. They have also sung or recorded with Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Michael and Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, Phil Collins, Celine Dion, Aerosmith, Nelly, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, Mary J. Blige, country music band Alabama, and Gloria Estefan.

The group went on hiatus in 2002. Although though they never officially announced a breakup, Lance Bass confirmed years later in his 2007 memoir Out of Sync that the band had spilt for good in 2004.

Over the course of their hiatus, the five members reunited occasionally, including for a one-off performance at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, for an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2018, and to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2018.

In 2019, *NSYNC reunited as a four piece without Justin Timberlake to perform with Ariana Grande at Coachella. The group came together again in 2023 to release the song "Better Place" for the DreamWorks animated film Trolls Band Together and performed at the premiere, and at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards. While working on "Better Place", *NSYNC also recorded a track titled "Paradise" for Timberlake's sixth solo album, Everything I Thought It Was (2024). In 2024, the group made a special one-off appearance at Timberlake's ONO concert in Los Angeles.

In November 2024, Chasez made a statement during a podcast appearance about the bands future saying, "Right now everybody's focused on different projects. But we're always talking in the background, and it only takes like one idea to pop, so anything's possible."[7]

The band completed five nationwide concert tours and has sold over 70 million records, becoming one of the best-selling boy bands of all time.[8][9] Rolling Stone recognized their instant success as one of the Top 25 Teen Idol Breakout Moments of all time.[10]
