And it hits even more potently at this particular moment in time, if we're being honest.ġ1. "Digital Get Down" ( No Strings Attached): In the canon of songs written at the advent of the internet age that were obsessed with cyber sex, this one reigns supreme. "Space Cowboy" ( No Strings Attached): What was it about the turn of the millennium that had pop stars obsessed with space? Chasez did his thing writing this track, though, and the guest verse from the late Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes is a classic.ġ2. "Just Got Paid" ( No Strings Attached): This cover of Johnny Kemp's 1988 new jack swing hit was absolutely the anthem for everyone who just joined the work force in the early '00s.ġ3. The harmonies on this jazzy, scat-heavy song are next level.ġ4. "Trashin' the Camp": Speaking of Tarzan, the boys joined Collins' for this track on the Disney film's soundtrack. So, in honor of 20 years of No Strings Attached, we present our countdown of the 20 best NSYNC songs ever released.ġ5. You know, questions like, Who's better: NSYNC or Backstreet Boys? and Who's better: JT or JC? While those two queries could be argued endlessly with no one ever reaching a consensus, there's one thing we feel comfortable to unequivocally proclaim. With the 20th anniversary of the landmark album in mind, it got us thinking about some of the debates that used to rage around the band. We were too busy losing our s-t to hits like "Bye Bye Bye," "It's Gonna Be Me" and "This I Promise You." None of us knew at the time that, in just two short years, Justin Timberlake would go his own way and become a global superstar in his own right, leaving his pals JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Chris Kirkpatrick and Joey Fatone behind. Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 2.4 million, a record that wouldn't be topped until Adele releases 25 some 15 years later, the album was, without a doubt, them at the pinnacle of their power. The second studio album from the seminal boy band, which celebrates its 20th anniversary on Saturday, March 21, catapulted them into global superstars upon its release. It's hard to overstate just how big a deal NSYNC's No Strings Attached was.
