New Kids on the Block

Before the Backstreet Boys launched the worldwide dominance of the 21st-century boy-band, before *NSYNC ruled the teen-pop landscape, there was New Kids on the Block, a powerhouse pack of 'round-the-block fellas/hotties with fresh faces only millions of girls could love, and the kind of beyond-their-years pipes that propelled them to the top of the charts over and over again. Donnie, Danny, Jon, Joe, and Jordan pretty much owned the end of the '80s, with hip-pop classics like the secret-formula smash "You've Got It (The Right Stuff)" and the swoon-bait ballad "I'll Be Loving You (Forever)." Our New Kids on the Block Essentials brings you just that — the best of the Kids' best, from the old-school soul of "Please Don't Go Girl" to the candy-coated teen treat "Popsicle," to the rough-and-tumble throwdown "Hangin' Tough."
