AJ Of The Backstreet Boys Says That 'Never Gone' Is An Album For Entire Family

Yahoo! Music, Jul 5, 2005 3:00 pm PDT
Backstreet Boys' band member AJ McLean thinks that their new album, Never Gone, is different from much of today's music, because it's appropriate for fans of all ages. AJ says: "This is music for the masses. This is something that can bring people together. They can all sit with their family and enjoy a good quality record. This is not a record that parents feel they have to be cautious or wary of their kids listening to or that it might be a bad influence on people. We always try to strive on doing positive music and if you listen to what's on the radio nowadays it's pretty much about how much money you got or how many cars you got or how much jewelry you got or even how many times you've been shot."

Never Gone did well in its international debut this week. The album is Number One in Germany, India, Korea and on Japan's International Chart. It's also Number Two in Canada, Mexico, Spain, and on the Pan-European Billboard chart.

The album debuted two weeks ago at Number Three on the Billboard 200 albums chart and now sits at Number Seven.

Backstreet Boys will be touring in support of Never Gone this summer. The tour begins on July 22 in West Palm Beach, Florida. Following the U.S. tour, the group will embark on international dates, taking them through Europe, Asia and South America.
