新街邊男孩
新街邊男孩(New Kids On The Block)於1985年在波士頓成立,最原始的Teen pop(青少年流行)就是來源於他們。簡寫為NKOTB。他們擁有3支冠軍單曲以及6支前十單曲,專輯銷量近8000萬,是除後街男孩之外的最暢銷的男孩樂隊。1994年宣布解散,2008年重新復出,回歸單曲“Summertime”亦取得TOP40的好成績。13年發行了新專輯“10”。
2020年8月,Billboard公布2019年歌手吸金榜,新街邊男孩以1800萬排名第27位。

當時組合中年紀最小的Joey McIntyre才14歲,而年紀最長的Jonathan Knight也才18歲。關於Joey McIntyre的加入,其中還頗有一段插曲。當時新街邊男孩連第一張唱片還沒出,就發生其中一個團員因為過量酗酒被開除的插曲。隨後才找來Joey Mcintyre替補,成為五人之中最年輕的一員。他們以乾淨、健康的形象出道,他們不像前輩那樣憤世嫉俗,也不追求另類嘻皮、朋克,不以新奇異怪的造型來吸引人的眼球。他們就憑著他們滿身的稚氣,稚氣的形象,稚氣的嗓音來打動人、感染人。他們健康純真的形象,甜美無邪的歌聲也走進了每一個10-20歲年輕人的心田。同時也向世界宣布,少男少女們有了只屬於自己的音樂,只屬於自己的流行團體。他們的出現和成功也定義了隨後10多年中歐美層出不窮的男孩組合的模式。5名成員,彼此年齡跨度在5年以內,中性的外形設計,只演唱他人創作的歌曲,擅長舞蹈。也許你沒想到,新街邊男孩就是當代TeenagePop Group的老祖宗。

說起來第一張專輯的封面還可見到Joey戴著牙齒矯正器。當時他尚未變聲,還保有男孩清澈甜嫩的嗓音。加上那對漂亮的藍眼珠,唱著這首"Please Don’t Go Girl",當年真的迷倒不少人。雖然專輯裡頭有五位團員輪流主唱的歌曲,但是主唱機會最多的通常是Jordan Knight,再來是Joey,然後是Donnie Wahlberg。Jordan很會用假音唱歌,又會彈琴,那首"I'll Be Loving You (Forever)"也是專輯里非常受歡迎的歌,還曾經登上Billboard單曲排行榜的第一名。到1989年新街邊男孩已經成為美國炙手可熱的歌唱組合,其作品"You Got It (The Right Stuff)"、"I'll Be Loving You (Forever) "、"Cover Girl"、"Didn't I (Blow Your Mind)"深受樂迷喜愛。

他們在1980年代末期和90年代初期可真的是紅遍大街小巷。不僅在美國本地、連英國、亞洲都有眾多歌迷。
2008年年初新街邊男孩宣布重組並在7月18日推出了新單曲《Summertime》,取得榜單36名的好成績。
2008年9月2日曾經紅極一時的新街邊男孩時隔14年推出了新專輯《The Block》,在該專輯中與Ne-Yo、The Pussycat Dolls、Akon等多名當紅歌手和組合進行了合作。
