NSYNC really does owe their entire career to the Backstreet Boys!
1. Lou Pearlman, who launched NSYNC's career and managed the band (along with fellow boy-banders Backstreet Boys), was inspired to create boy bands after seeing the success of New Kids on the Block in the early '90s.
2. Backstreet Boys' Howie Dorough was responsible for introducing Chris Kirkpatrick to Lou, after the two met at a local junior college.
3. After failing to make the cut to join Backstreet, Chris came up with the idea for NSYNC, and pitched it to Pearlman.
4. Chris recruited Joey Fatone after meeting him at Universal Orlando, where they both worked as performers.
5. Justin Timberlake, who was asked to join the band by Lou, recruited his former The All-New Mickey Mouse Club co-star JC Chasez.

6. Originally, the band's fifth member was a singer named Jason Galasso, but he quit shortly after the band formed and was replaced by Lance Bass.
7. NSYNC is an acronym using the last letter of each member's first name: JustiN, ChriS, JoeY, JasoN, and JC.
8. Justin's mother, Lynn Harless, was the one who came up with the idea for the acronym.
9. When Lance joined the band he was nicknamed "Lanceton" in order to fit the acronym.
10. Lance was recruited when he heard NSYNC was looking for a replacement singer via a vocal coach, who also coached Timberlake.
