BTS - Dynamite

[@AbbyliciousM]

BTS Blood Sweat and Tears and Black Swan.

[@Jubilee3011]

Westlife - uptown girl or bop bop baby

[@Clem20033]

BlackSwan by BTS!!!

[@jaimeraymundo7324]

Blur - Song 2 And Oasis Don t Look Back In Anger

[@kamsismith]

Bye Bye Bye and I Want it That Way. Two decades after these songs came out, it’s a huge staple in pop culture.

[@mayflower7811]

It's Gonna be me (May)

[@bmeitz8862]

I will never be ashamed of being a Backstreet Boys fan

[@MC-jj9zd]

Same! Fan for 26 years and counting!🥰😍

[@jaclynsanture6643]

I will forever be a boy band fan!

[@SimoneFrancesReed]

I still listen to BSB unashamedly 27 years later. Lol. Nick's voice still gets me giggling like a teenager here at 40 years old. Lol. 🤣🤣🤣🩷🩷🩷

Mine too

Mine too, I guess.😅😅😅

[@KierraPlays]

Mine too and One direction😊

[@lizzybethnj617]

I remember i had an all access VHS tape of the making of Backstreet’s Back. It also had the making of As Long As You love me too

[@MC-jj9zd]

Same! I watched it soo many times! It's part of my bsb collection proud to be a bsb fan for 26 year!🎉❤ KTBSBPA

[@calicokaels]

I had the As Long As You Love Me one... The number of times I watched that is wild.

[@mbibeau4635]

YES!!!!

[@cosmepolitics]

YES. I had that!

[@jonathanvelazquezph.d.2719]

The Backstreet Boys and N*SYNC weren't just duking it out for chart positions and sales but in the video arena as well!. One could make a top 10 from either one of those two boy bands alone!!

[@mayflower7811]

Yeah but remember the feud was fabricated by that greedy fat manager Lou Pearlman

[@sailormoonsault]

I came here ready to argue why Everybody should have been #1 and I’m glad I didn’t have to do that.

[@MC-jj9zd]

❤🎉

[@NisaShah1503]

Me too!! When I saw ‘I want it that way’ at #10, I was like they better have ‘Everybody ‘ at #1.

[@SimoneFrancesReed]

I was a little annoyed at them having BSB so low on the countdown. But then they redeemed themselves with having them also #1. It was a nice bookend to the nostalgic video. 🩷😁

[@cosmepolitics]

Same!

[@idkalan00]

Finally, a topic worth debating about. Hold on let me get my dissertations on this subject

[@kaleighcoutermarsh4922]

For BTS, I prefer Dynamite but they can truly do no wrong in my eyes. So kind, so humble, so gracious, and so positive. We need more of that in this world.

[@keirarees3179]

Absolutely! I’m rather nostalgic for Backstreet Boys but BTS are my BSB nowadays. I love the colour of Idol MV also, but Dynamite is the bees knees.

[@kaleighcoutermarsh4922]

@@keirarees3179 I too love BSB, but the positivity of BTS has really pulled me in. They put out such a good and needed message. Meanwhile, Nick Carter.. idk

[@lacyInmon1978]

Absolutely, I love BTS.

[@Jeremiah_Rivers76]

There are only two boy band music videos I always enjoy: Backstreet Boys’ “I Want It That Way” and NSync’s “Bye Bye Bye.”

[@mayflower7811]

It feels good not to choose between the 2 anymore we can like them both

[@BlenderStudy]

Thank you for the update, MsMojo..!! "It's gonna by May" by N'Sync was awesome. 🤣

[@mayflower7811]

That is the song now sorry JT

[@lil_agitator]

During the honorable mentions I was preparing my comment on why Everybody or Larger Than Life must’ve been number one. I’m glad we agreed Ms. Mojo.

[@wendyodell356]

BTS is far more than a boy band. Their music, which they either write or co-write, tells stories. It talks about life, leading good lives, sad times, and the world around us but more importantly about learning to love ourselves and each other. Their message and spirit is beautiful. As they say, "They are just 7 boys from South Korea who love to make music". And that is precisely who they are. They have so many beautiful and extraordinary music videos. So many that it's hard to pick just one. I'd say picking from earlier in their career, one of their first Billboard toppers, my choice would be "Blood, Sweat, and Tears". Excellent video 💜

[@chelseacanales8763]

Figures that Backstreet Boys is number one; Everybody music video is so damn good, especially around Halloween time

[@MC-jj9zd]

❤❤ I completely agree 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@lyoness6]

Hang on a sec.... I have to argue that NKOTB did NOT start the boyband evolution. Jackson 5, New Edition, Menudo, hell, even the Bay City Rollers came first. NKOTB definitely brought boybands back to the pop forefront in the 80s, but by no stretch of the imagination can they be credited as starting the evolution of the genre.

[@TheDivaSpot101]

Thank you! 👏🏽

[@Clem20033]

even NKOTB would agree with you. Lets be honest, NKOTB brought the boy band idea to white poeple. Yes my white ass just said that. i am a huge blockhead, i love NKTOB, but I also love the Jackson 5 and they were on the charts 2 decades before NKOTB.

[@TheDivaSpot101]

@@Clem20033 A couple months ago, Donnie Wahlberg was at the Image award playing tribute to New Edition. In his speech he said, if it wasn't for New Edition there would be no NKOTB, no Backstreet Boys, no NSYNC, no Justin Timberlake, no Harry Styles, etc....😁 I love how he is always paying his respect to New Edition ❤

[@mayflower7811]

The Beatles

​@@mayflower7811doesn't count

[@ashleyc6511]

BSB'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m 57 yo and when I hear them I feel 27 again ❤ …. BSB or *NSYNC…. Those are fighting words 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@MC-jj9zd]

I'm 45 years old and had been a massive fan of backstreet for 26 years and proud of it!❤🎉😊

[@calicokaels]

BSB will forever take me back to my teenage years. They were my first concert... One that got me marked truant at school bc it was on a school night and my mother is too honest and told them she let me sleep in bc we were at it the night before. 😂

[@mayflower7811]

If you are giving into the beef than you are giving into what Lou Pearlman wanted

[@laural7180]

I really appreciate that there are two K-pop groups on this list.

[@davidslife989]

You know your Tearin Up My Heart with ALL this boy band vids! But 'I Want It That Way' though so don't make my heart go 'POP!' and decide to say 'Bye Bye Bye' with this content. Alright I'm done with my...This content is as cool as 'Butter'. NOW I'm done with my puns.

[@kittyimeow]

Was so surprised to see BTS and BigBang on here! Yay!

[@kaleighcoutermarsh4922]

They deserve all the love. BTS continuously make me so proud with the way they carry themselves. A true light in a dark world.

[@amymallari5589]

Proud to be ARMY! 💜 Enjoyed this nostalgic video with old faves like 98 deg, Boyz II Men, NSYNC, etc. 😂

[@justanotherwhitegirla7093]

Big Bang and SHINee were my intro to k-pop. Love them both.

[@Spikesjade]

Happy my New Kids made number 2!!!

[@bieassialaw6832]

The funny thing is BSB, I Want It That Way, came out in the summer of 99, the same year I was pregnant with my first baby. Whenever I hear that song, I think back to that summer day ☺️

[@meganjones3368]

I thought with “I Want It That Way” that The Backstreet Boys wouldn’t have anymore on the list (I guess I assumed it was one per band) and I was upset for “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)” the entire time… What a pleasant surprise for all wrongs to be righted at the end (even though I made up the wrongs in the first place). My only wish is that “Burnin’ Up” by my JoBros was on here.

[@samuelcollantes1175]

Happy monday night, Rebecca. Take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well.

[@iamdanibritt]

8:06 no they didn't New Edition did. It's mentioned on various shows, and Donnie Wahlberg says it all the time. They were just more popular bc they were white

[@jonathanvelazquezph.d.2719]

😮

[@Iggystar71]

Whew….the fact they were just an honorable mention with New Kids on the list and being credited as starting the boy band revolution don’t sit right with me. I guess we better be happy they included Boyz II Men. 😒

[@allisont8985]

Mojo is right, they're not saying that NKOTB was the first boy band, but rather that they ignited the boy band craze. Their global success led to the explosion of boy bands in the 1990s. Obviously, there were other groups before them - New Edition is great, but they weren't the first either. There were Menudo, the Jackson 5, the Osmonds etc.

[@spanishwithandrea]

This list is the best one yet. BSB have to be in every boyband countdown more than once and always at the top! Bravo!

[@catherinem.lanuezsavethete4649]

New Kids On The Block all the way.

[@booknerd1999]

Super by Seventeen was such an awesome spectacle. The way they had over a 100 backup dancers dancing in sync(NSYNC, haha) was just breathtaking.

[@mayflower7811]

That was their VMA performances

[@jadepixie2719]

East 17’s “Deep”, “House of love.”, “It’s alright.”, “Around the world 🗺️” Five’s “When the lights go out”, “Keep on movin.” The wanted’s “All time low”, “Glad you came.” Busted’s “Year 3000”, “What I go to school for.”,”Crashing the wedding 💒” Mcfly’s “5 colours in her hair.” Boyzone’s “No matter what.” probably should get a honourable mention.

[@MC-jj9zd]

I remember 5ive, i think i could have their cd hiding around somewhere in my cd collection.

[@eynatmeir5054]

Overall I loved this! Agree with n.1🙌 For One direction I'd pick "Night changes" but ok😁

[@Arina.Windsor]

I was a HUGE 5ive fan in my teenage years! Wouldn't mind watching their videos :)

[@GRVCE1819]

Omg! Yass! I agree with top 1! Best Girl group music video next please....

[@sarahramsey9454]

anything nsync or backstreet are my favs however I want it that way higher than 10 in my book

[@MhzToinette]

I love BSB, but BTS owns me. Also, while Butter is an amazing video, I still think Blood, Sweat & Tears is their best video. They have quite a few videos that are better than Butter. In my opinion, it isn't even one of their top 5 best videos. Also, New Edition was before New Kids on the Block, they started the boyband craze. NKOTB was based off of NE, therefore their name. They were the new kids. Maurice Starr started NKOTB 4 years after starting NE wanting a white version of NE after they fired him for embezzlement.

[@allisont8985]

It's true that the group N.E. and other groups came before New Kids on the Block (NKOTB), but NKOTB is the group that truly ignited the boy band craze. Take That, Backstreet Boys, and *NSYNC were all formed in response to NKOTB's global success. These groups themselves have acknowledged this fact. In fact, NKOTB's first album, which was produced by Maurice Starr, was very similar in style to New Edition's music, and it was not a commercial success.

[@lacyInmon1978]

I grew up watching New Kids On The Block videos in the 80's & 90's

[@katmorales_98]

the fact that big time rush was not mentioned in this video. one of their music videos deserves to be on the list. I would suggest boyfriend or waves!!!

[@BobbiKay-]

Love this list! Anything NKOTB related is always good for me. Even if the videos are nearly 40 yrs old! Can't wait til 6/26!

[@calicokaels]

I listen to a wide variety of music, but damn do boy bands have a special place in my heart. Somehow I always come back to them. (That and emo.) I have to say though, for BTS... they have SO MANY better videos than Butter. Black Swan, On, Fire, Fake Love, Blood Sweat & Tears, Idol, etc. They have some absolute masterpieces... and y'all went with BUTTER. 🙄

[@Clem20033]

yep! what you said is true!

[@JeonJungkook-wr4yr]

Butter isn't bad when the pandemic went on that song made all Army's happy it still does till this day I play it on repeat I love all their songs tho

[@calicokaels]

@@JeonJungkook-wr4yr I never said it was bad. I love the song, actually. I just believe it's a travesty they chose "Butter" when BTS has absolutely masterpieces like Fake Love or Blood, Sweat, & Tears.

[@eugeniapatroncosta920]

My favourite boy band would always be is Big Time Rush.

[@RonHeartsMe]

Saaaame.

[@allih8021]

OH MY GOD this was fantastic! I'd almost forgotten how much I loved "Back for Good!" I've always been a bigger NSYNC fan than BSB , and I'm an NKOTB and New Edition girl from way back, but BTS blows them all out of the water. "Butter" is FIRE. Seriously. Nobody can touch them! That being said, I remember when "Everybody" dropped on TRL - it absolutely owned MTV in a way that defies description so I get it's ranking at #1. But these were all so great and this was a fun stroll down memory lane.

[@Kimberley81]

Glad to see the 98 Degrees representation! Because of You was my gateway too

[@Everythingofmusic]

Backstreet Boys always wins! I love their music videos, they are always well thought out endnote crazy or weird. I mean you can understand them.

[@MC-jj9zd]

Same 🥰🥰😍

[@GamerFunOriginallyAarush]

BACKSTREET BOYS!

[@adelinewaight]

Ok I’ve made it to the end of the video and you’ve redeemed yourself. And yes the #1 video will always be AMAZING!!!!

I miss this era so much, haha!

[@maeleenhurley5858]

BTS! What a wonderful surprise! ARMY!

[@sockygaldamez9492]

I knew Backstreets Back would be number one 👍 because it’s so much fun to watch and I love the costumes and Choreography so much ♥️ also I Want It That Way and Bye Bye Bye are iconic videos as well 😁

[@anushkamaharaj9941]

I was like what could possibly be no.1, thinking that you guys limited it to 1 MV per group. Totally forgot about Everybody! Deserved though. Cool to see my BSB bookending this list. But you guys did my BTS babies dirty. Putting Butter at no.5 when literal masterpieces like Fake Love, Black Swan, and THE Blood, Sweat and Tears could easily top this list.

[@calicokaels]

Many of their videos would top Butter TBH. Idol and On are definitely two I would add to the ones you already mentioned.

[@KBAFourthtime]

No Dream Street? Okay, so at the time as a boy band, they only had one song as a music video (two versions thereof): "It Happens Every Time."

[@patrickorourke41]

The fact the New Edition was only an honorable mention…that’s disrespectful.

[@marioorionhernandez5546]

Definitely I want it that way and everybody backstreets back by Backstreet boys

[@pamelakibildis1177]

I LOVE BSB Fan Girl Here For 34 Years 🥰🥰

[@richardhoehn9922]

Thanks for putting all those songs in my head! I'll have to check out some K-Pop bands now. I'm like real old now, I remember going to a New Kids on the Block--oh, excuse me, NKOTB!--concert way way back in the late 1980's, got to see them perform this live.

[@jessicapierce3027]

BTS makes music that is appreciated by all ages. Every album is full of songs that I just can't get enough of. Their Wings album, Love Yourself trilogy, BE and Dark and Wild are my favorites. I was super into NSYNC and BSB when I was in high-school, but that was a different time when all I cared about was the flare of it all. Well, BTS has the flare and so much more.

[@candyb2205]

was hoping The Call by BSB would get an honourable mention, it's like a mini movie!

[@Mightyblackcats]

so nice of you to include the best B99 cold openning song

[@serix24]

I want It that way should have been number 1

[@ReynaReactsandReviews]

I love One Direction

[@Animeguy300]

I remember watching backstreet boys and NSYNC from my childhood

[@anggamahendra9191]

MV from BSB, i think "Larger Than Life" or "As Long As You Love Me" more iconic than "I Want It That Way"

[@unpredictablemove]

Westlife is my ultimate favorite band followed by BSB, NSYNC, Boyzone and Savage Garden

[@catherinewilliams9680]

New Edition is an honorable mention???? Seriously??? With all due respect to NKOTB, New Edition are the Grand daddies of the Boy Band.

[@Shanruss]

NKOTB originals

[@melissacoad5111]

BSB always my number one ❤

[@MC-jj9zd]

❤ i fully agree!❤

[@carmensandiego3691]

The one and only original best boy band of all time is The Monkees! IN YOUR FACE!

[@nancyjay790]

Trouble for this list? The only Monkees video that has any connectivity or narrative is "Daydream Believer."

[@cazia9]

I would argue that The Hardest Thing is 98* best video with its Vegas fight night cinematic story… also the Bye Bye Bue single is a thinly veiled middle finger to their former management that was ripping them off for millions and No Strings Attached was their first album following the court battle, hence the marionettes escaping motif

[@jaclynsanture6643]

The Hardest Thing by 98 is beautiful and heartbreaking.

[@MarianaOdetteVargasAcebey]

BSB con más de 30 años en la industria. Los reyes absolutamente

[@unpredictablemove]

I'm sad Westlife is not even mentioned, they are very underrated 😢

[@khadraabeeb5007]

Omg the Backstreet Boys were out favorite band since India 🇮🇳 😂❤

[@nostalgiajumper0233]

2:21 I didn’t know Adam Sandler (the guy with the sunglasses) was in the group😂😂😂

[@barbrolarsson9539]

[@devingiles6597]

Hey, MsMojo. Can you please do a list of the Top 20 Best Girl Group Music Videos? I have a few examples of these you guys should mention. Examples: Spice Girls - Wannabe Blackpink - Ddu-Du Ddu-Du Fifth Harmony - Work from Home 2NE1 - I Am the Best En Vogue - My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It) Little Mix - Black Magic Moonchild - Friends Are For Bananarama - Cruel Summer B*Witched - C'est la Vie The Pussycat Dolls feat. Busta Rhymes - Don't Cha

[@KeolaniKea]

Disrespecting that Boyz II Men video that low on the list . Cus the harmonies were epiccccc

[@polopatrick3246]

blue should be on the list too

[@StephALowry29]

They made marionette dolls of NSYNC after the music video came out. I remember seeing them on shelves when I was a kid. However, I was always a Backstreet Boys fan and I hated NSYNC back then. Now that I'm 32, I still love my Boys but I don't mind it when they play NSYNC on the radio. Seeing Screech as the groom in the 98 Degrees music video for I Do (Cherish You) was hilarious at the end because you're expecting to see a good-looking guy at the altar, but it's Saved by the Bell's Screech! Also, the Sucker music video didn't just have any ladies in the music video, it was their significant others. One of them was Sophie Turner, Joe's now ex-wife who played Sansa Stark on all 8 seasons of Game of Thrones. Do your research, MsMojo!

[@patricksorenson9586]

I think you missed one: U + Me = Us (Calculus)

[@crystalsnow1138]

Love it.

[@jessicapierce3027]

Totally agree. "Say it, don't spray" it should have also gotten an honorable mention.

[@keren.icehand]

BSB are awesome💜👍

[@CaapriceTube1]

Other Honorable Mentions should've been: 5ive - If Ya Gettin' Down B2K - Uh Huh

[@pinklady4772]

Dru Hill "These AreThe Times."

[@autumbreeze1129]

I'll be honest, as a kid, I knew of The Backstreet Boys, but I never really gave them much thought... until the PBS (though I didn't know that at the time as I was just watching on the ABC channel here in Australia) show Arthur did a special movie with them in Arthur It’s Only Rock 'N' Role, which starts of with the character Muffy Crosswire watching, as it happens, the I Want It That Way music video that quickly goes from its original version into a version in the Arthur show's world, with each member of the band in a specific design to fit the animal world ascetic. After watching that back when it came out, my interest in The Backstreet Boys became more focused. Granted, I didn't become a super fan or anything, but I definitely took more notice of the band and started to try listening to their songs more abd tried to find at least some of their CDs, eventually even ending up with a special DVD featuring most of their music videos. And to think it might never have happened had thry not cameoed in that show featuring that aardvark with glasses

[@Lillianna2478]

One Direction Best Song Ever is their best video imo

[@hsiejsowbr]

BTR not being on here is a crime

[@ElvisRose_]

I think I Want It That Way should rank higher than anything done by 98 Degrees since I always forget that they ever even existed but I approved of most of this list. Makes me miss the days of TRL when music videos were at their peak!

[@Paige-js5yr]

You should see some Ateez music videos the production is crazy some look better than some movies

[@autumbreeze1129]

Big Bang's songs are so much fun, it sadness me that getting their CDs is extremely difficult if you don't live in Japan. I only found 1 CD of theirs while I was in Japan back in 2012, but it was the only one I was able to get, but, sadly, while it's called The Best Selection, Fantastic Baby is not in the track list😢

[@erinl422]

The implication that Steal My Girl is the best One Direction video when the videos for Night Changes and Drag Me Down exist is a tragedy

[@phillylilmermaid7802]

How in the world are you gonna make “I want it that way” number 10? I prefer Nsync on BSB and even I think that was ludicrous. Love them both.

[@rizdaily]
