“I Want It That Way” is the Backstreet Boys’ signature song, and commercially it reached the number-one spot in more than 25 countries, including Austria, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. In the United States, the song peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100chart for eight non-consecutive weeks, while it topped the Adult and Mainstream Top 40charts.
The song has been widely covered and parodied by a range of artists, including other boy bands such as JLS and One Direction, while its music video, directed by Wayne Isham, received famous parodies, including Blink-182 on their music video for “All the Small Things“, Big Time Rush on their music video for “Like Nobody’s Around“, their music video for ‘Worldwide’, and the Wanted on their video for “Walks Like Rihanna“. The original music video received four VMA nominations, winning Viewer’s Choice. Enjoy!
Undoubtedly, one of the most hauntingly melodic and greatest pop songs of that era.
Thank you for the feedback. A very catchy unforgettable song. Thanks for your visit and thoughts, Newspell. Enjoy your coffee today!
About to have some fresh brewed this very morning, in fact!
Awww! Enjoy it fresh always!! ☕️☕️
As well, the documentary concerning the fate of the artist which recorded that song – “I Want It That Way” – at the hands of their rather unscrupulous manager is a most fascinating tale.
Absolutely! Neither did MTV’s 1980’s takeoff contribute to their monumental acclaim. They followed their hearts . The Backstreet Boys are an outstanding collaboration of voices, personalities that have ingeniously paved the way of their showmanship with perfect timing and presence. Adverse influences
through natural forces obviously fell away from the Backstreet Boys’ career.
