'NSYNC

With members forged in the same Mickey Mouse Club crucible that produced Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, 'NSYNC are every preteen's dream: a hunky ensemble of soulful boys harmonizing on the hazards of puppy love and other pressing adolescent concerns. 'NSYNC rose to fame in the music biz's emerging teen market, armed with more "babys" per stanza than the Ronettes, a string of hit videos, and hair gel by the fistful. These song and dance prodigies -- backed by an ace production team -- surpassed everyone's wildest expectations, setting kittenish hearts aflutter the world over.
