Do you Remember the New Kids On The Block? 10 pts for the most info! :-)?

Question

The one who remembers the most gets 10 pts! :-)

Answer 1

I actually saw them in concert a LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGG time ago.. There was Jordan Knight, Jonathan Knight (they were brothers) Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg (who was actually in Perfect Storm) He's done quite a few movies. and Danny Wood. They were a successful boy bad of the late 1980 and early 90's. They sold over 70 MILLION albums world wide. and I believe that they had 4 albums. NKOB, Hangin' Tough, Step By Step, and Face The Music. They paved the way for the current boy bands like the Backstreet Boys, and N'SYNC. I even had NKOB bedsheets.. lol

Answer 2

After his success with New Edition, producer Maurice Starr decided to replicate the group, substituting suburban white kids for the young black teenagers. The result was New Kids on the Block, which quickly eclipsed the popularity of Starr's previous group. Comprising Boston-area singers Donnie Wahlberg, Jordan Knight, Jon Knight, Danny Wood, and Joe McIntyre, the New Kids were awkward and enthusiastic on their 1986 debut, which wasn't surprising considering that the oldest members were barely 16 years old. With their next album, 1988's Hangin' Tough, the group's image had toughened up and they had the material to support it. From the saccharine ballad "I'll Be Loving You Forever" to the title track's stab at funk, the band had a seemingly endless streak of hits in 1988 and 1989; their Christmas album even went double platinum. New Kid mania continued with 1990's Step by Step; even if it sold five million copies less than Hangin' Tough, it still sold three million copies. But that was the end of the road for their short time in the sun -- they were the subject of an endless amount of jokes and were getting no respect. Besides, their audience was growing up. In 1994, they returned with the Starr-less Face the Music, which actually showed a remarkable musical maturity -- they were a credible urban R&B outfit -- but hardly sold anything, even if they were packing theaters on tour. In June of 1994, the band announced that it had acrimoniously parted ways and all of the members were now pursuing solo careers. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Answer 3

They actually had six albums.

The self-titled NKOTB (their first... more bubblegum pop than any of their other albums), Hanging Tough, Step by Step, Merry Merry Christmas: The Christmas Album, No More Games (which had a ton of remixes from Step by Step - Donnie even raps... too funny), Face the Music. Hit albums were released, but this was well after their initial success, when no one cared any more.

Answer 4

Was this not one of the original boy bands?

It consisted of: brothers Jordan Knight and Jonathan Knight, Dancing w/ the Stars' Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, and Danny Wood.

Donnie is the brother of Mark Wahlberg...I think he helped produce his Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch record.

I remember Hangin' Tough, Please Don't Go Girl, and The Right Stuff, was it?

This is one of the first albums I bought for myself.

What was I thinking? Now I have the Oh-oh-ohhho. Oh-oh-ohhho going through my head.
