Big Time Rush Declare Themselves ‘Best Boy Band Of All Time’

Posted on April 25, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

But, Battle of the Boy Bands competitors also show love for ‘NSYNC. By John Mitchell Big Time Rush Photo: MTV News The competition continues to heat up in MTV News’ Battle of the Boy Bands . Some huge favorites are falling behind as some unexpected fans come out of the woodwork to vote for their favorite groups. At this point in the competition, Big Time Rush are well ahead of ’90s R&B hitmakers All For One in their showdown, but anything can happen right up until voting closes today (April 26) at noon. So, the boys are here to tell you why you should vote for them and keep them in the race for the boy-band crown. Highest Chart Achievement The band, which was created for its namesake Nickelodeon show, enjoyed its strongest sales week ever when its November 2011 album, Elevate, debuted with over 70,000 in sales. However, their debut, 2010’s BTR , while selling fewer copies (67,000) in its opening frame, actually enjoyed a higher chart position, debuting at an astounding #3 to Elevate ‘s #12. Standout Video For sheer Backstreet nostalgia alone, it’s got to be “Worldwide.” The clip features the guys — Kendall Schmidt, James Maslow, Carlos Pena Jr. and Logan Henderson — in all-white outfits, crooning their hearts out ballad-style, while hanging out in an airline terminal. The homage to the Backstreet Boys’ “I Want It That Way” is undeniable — and we mean that as the highest of compliments. Defining Tune Well, that depends who you ask. “Boyfriend,” the band’s first official single sent to U.S. radio, remains their strongest-performing track on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #72. However, the band and its fans certainly have a connection with “Music Sounds Better With U,” which was co-written by the band and Ryan Tedder — yes, that Ryan Tedder, a hitmaker in his own right with OneRepublic, who is currently one of the hottest songwriters in the world after his work with Beyonc

SUB’The songs … are a better expression of who we are verses the first album, which was written for the TV show,’ Nickelodeon stars say. By Christina Garibaldi Big Time Rush Photo: MTV News The boys of have found a whole new voice for their second album, Elevate . James Maslow, Logan Henderson, Carlos Pena and Kendall Schmidt worked tirelessly to put together an infectious pop album that will no doubt please fans of their hit Nickelodeon TV show, but could earn them some new followers as well. “We spent almost a year creating it,” Maslow recently told MTV News. “Between the four of us, we wrote eight out of the 12 songs, and everything from the album artwork to the title and, most importantly, the songs really have matured and are a better expression of who we are verses the first album, which was written for the TV show.” For their second effort, Big Time Rush worked with some of the biggest producers in music, including Ryan Tedder, J.R. Rotem and former ‘NSYNC member JC Chasez. Yet, they have a different ‘NSYNC alum in mind for a dream collaboration: “[We] always talked about working with Justin Timberlake,” Maslow revealed. Schmidt added, “We’re huge fans of his music.” Elevate has some stiff competition on the Billboard charts, including Rihanna’s latest album, Talk That Talk, and Adele’s 21 . “I don’t care if we get to #1,” Schmidt said. “The company that we are in is so incredible, to be considered with these people is an honor.” Maslow added, “Those are great artists, but I think we kinda stay in our own little world as well.” Big Time Rush are planning to hit the road in February for their “Better With U” Tour, their first in the U.S. Share your review of Elevate in the comments!
