June 3, 1999

You know what's kinda nifty??? Nick is now Aaron's manager...soo cool!!!

Millennium has continued to stay at the number 1 spot on Billboard's Top 100. They sold somewhere around 600,000 additional copies in the second week of it's release...woohooo!!

The concert has been reported to be EXCELLENT!! They open up with "Larger Than Life." While doing so, they fly through the air on some kind of platform. There's more stuff, but I really don't wanna spoil it. I read the review on Catilin's page and the surprise of it is gone..but that's okay :)

An anonymous guest left a message in my guestbook about AJ's tattoo. She left a *nice* little message tellin' me I wuz wrong about it's placement. It seems that the bottom of the six loops around his belly button and that's also the top of the nine. Um...I'm sorry for makin' the mistake....Geez...I'm only human.

Twist magazine held a recent poll asking if the BSB and 'N Sync got in a fight who'd win. The results: 2% voted for'N Sync, 98% voted for BSB (hmmm...interesting)

I forgot to add something yesterday, Nick also has tattoos now. I've seen one of them, it's a shark on his upper left arm and he has a music note on his shoulder blade


June 9, 1999

Tommy Smith (keyboardist for the backstreet boys) has announced that 3 band members are now leaving..Tim Berkebile (drums), Paul Howards (sax), and Billy Chapin. It seems that Paul is now playing with 'N Sync. And when Freddie Mullins left, he played for Britney Spears. (Eww...gross. What's up with the band members? Have they all gone loco?)

In Europe, the BSB are on Pepsi cans. I'm not sure how long ago the cans were sold, but I just found out today. The picture of them can be found under group pictures.

The boys were on a radio interview in Manchester. They basically talked about the touring stuff and how they're really excited about it because they'll be doing shows in places that they've never done before, like Asia.

AJ also said that they're going to do a duet with Mariah Carey. That's all the information he gave though, nothing else was mentioned about the duet.

Last night Howie hurt his ankle pretty badly. When the tour bus was stopped, he stepped down, but instead he fell, twisting his ankle in the process. My source, Torie (thanx chica) says that he'll be fine though. (Just in case anyone wuz wonderin', Torie found out from a friend who saw it happen)

I Want it that way is no. 6 on Billboard's top singles chart and no.3 on the top 10 adult contemporary singles chart. The top 10 singles and adult contemporary singles are based on Billboard's survey of retail sales and broadcast play. Millennium stands at no. 1 on the top 10 albums chart based on Billboard's survey of retail sales.

The Boys are at No. 1 for 4th Straight Week! Backstreet Boys hold on to the top spot, and Ricky Martin remains at no. 2 (310,000). They sold another 371,000 units to up their total to 2.5 million in one month--in fact, Millennium is on pace to be the top-selling group album of the last year of the century. Millennium is already the third highest-selling album of 1999 with total sales of 2,565,000 -- just behind Britney Spears' Baby One More Time and TLC's Fan Club.


June 20, 1999

Starting next week, you can WIN TICKETS to the U.S. Backstreet show nearest you!


July 10, 1999

Nick announced a few days ago that he was going to be working on a solo album. The group says they WILL NOT split up, so don't worry. The press and Jive have said after their European tour, Nick will make a demo tape in September, and possibly have an album out by late fall.

AJ is supposedly going to be doing a duet with the hard rock/grunge group Limp Bizkit. The song is called "The Looking Glass" and AJ is going backround vocals and chorus. So be watching out for more news on that.

The Backstreet Band up-dated their website a few days ago, and they announced that the Boys had a wonderful 4th of July in Milan, Italy. They rented a condo on a lake, and did a lot of water sports, and they had a barbecue, and stuff like that, so they had a lot of fun.

The Boys had to cancel a show in Wells, Austria because Kevin got really sick. The doctors told Kevin not to perform for that show, or it would make his sickness worse!! But reports say he's doing just fine now. I nearly had a heart attack when I found out. You all should've seen my eyes!

The song "Spanish Eyes" will be performed live during the European leg of the tour...however it will ONLY be done in Spain.

Jive Records is releasing a movie called "Jack Of All Trades" and Britney Spears, and the members of BSB and N Sync will be in it. They will either play characters or sing in the movie. I don't know when this will be released yet.

Twist is now in stores! (the magazine with BSB on the cover) So go out and GET IT!!!
