'N Sync Joins Britney, Backstreet Boys At Jive
Yahoo! Music, Sep 9, 1999 7:00 pm PDTThe source says that an official announcement will be made within the next several days. Comment from RCA Records, 'N Sync's former home, was unavailable at press time. The group's self-titled RCA album has sold approximately 6.8 million copies, according to SoundScan data.
A hint of things to come is expected to be offered to the public at the MTV Video Music Awards tonight, as Spears is scheduled to perform with her new labelmates 'N Sync.
RCA and Jive are both distributed through BMG. When 'N Sync's contract with RCA expired, Jive apparently snapped up the group. However, a BMG spokesperson has claimed in published reports that the group is signed to Transcontinental, which has a licensing agreement with BMG.
'N Sync's upcoming sophomore album, No Strings Attached, is now set to be released on Jive, according to a source and a songwriter working on the project.
Transcontinental Records informed LAUNCH that the group's manager Johnny Wright was in transit, and not available for comment at press time.
