NKOTBSB (also known as NKOTBSB: The Album) is a compilation album[1] by American boy bands New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys. Set to be released on May 24, 2011, the album will feature five hits from each group, two new joint recordings, "All in My Head" and "Don't Turn Out the Lights (D.T.O.T.L.)"[2], and a megamix. The album coincides with the joint tour featuring the groups, starting at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois on May 25, 2011.[3]

Background

Both bands first performed together at the Radio City Music Hall in the summer of 2010, and a joint tour was announced later that year. In March 2011, fans were encouraged to vote online for their favourite tracks from the seperate groups; choices that would influence the tracklist for their joint compilation album.[4] After nearly 250,000 votes, the tracklisting of "NKOTBSB" was announced on April 11, 2011. It also features two new tracks, "Don't Turn Out the Lights", "All in My Head" and an "NKOTBSB Mashup". "All in My Head" was originally an unreleased track by the Backstreet Boys for their album This Is Us while the mashup will feature a collection hits by the supergroup, similar to their AMA performance.

The album will be available in three editions. The regular edition features a 16-page booklet with personal messages from each member of the supergroup, and a tour poster. The fan edition will feature the names of those who pre-ordered the album. Each edition comes with an instant download of "Don't Turn Out the Lights". Additionally, all those who pre-ordered the album will have their names featured in the credits for the album.[5] A deluxe edition will be exclusively released at Wal-Mart. The edition will feature a DVD showing rehearsals for the NKOTBSB Tour along with the recording session for the new songs.

Singles

"Don't Turn Off the Lights" was released as the lead single from the album on April 5, 2011 by Legacy Recordings. The track made its first appearance in December on the BSB Cruise.[6] The song premiered on On Air with Ryan Seacrest and released to iTunes the same day. The single debuted at number 14 on the US Billboard [ Hot 100 Singles]] chart on April 14, 2011.[7]
