*NSYNC reunited on the VMA stage for the first time in 10 years. The last time the band was together at the award show was in 2013 when they performed two of their hit songs.
*NSYNC decided to go on a hiatus in 2003.
After they disbanded, all members of the band chased their own solo careers, with Timberlake going on to release his solo debut album Justified, which included hits like “Like I Love You”, and “Cry Me A River”.
*NSYNC had released four albums together.
The band released N Sync in 1997 as well as a Christmas album called Home for Christmas.
The band’s 2000 album No Strings Attached debuted at number one on Billboard Top 200 after selling 2.4 million copies in its first week. *NSYNC held that record until Adele’s album 25 broke it in 2015.
*NSYNC released their fourth and final album, Celebrity, in 2001. According to reports, the album sold 1.8 million copies in it’s opening week.
The album was also nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album in 2002.
