Teenage hysteria surrounding the group reached its peak in March 2000, when their new album No Strings Attached sold 2.4 million in its first week and became the fastest-selling album in the history of popular music.
On August 25, 2013, the group had a two-minute reunion on the stage of the MTV Video Music Awards. The reason for this was the presentation of the Michael Jackson Award for his contribution to music.

In 2007, Justin met his love - actress Jessica Biel. In 2012, the lovers got married in Italy and are now raising their son Silas Randall Timberlake.
Joshua Chasez
After the group's breakup, our favorite brunette continued his musical career, but not as successfully as Justin Timberlake. In 2004 he released the solo album Schizophrenic. In 2009-2010 he worked as a judge on the dance show Americans best dance crue. In 2012, he created the group Girl Radical, but this project turned out to be a failure, and already in 2013 the team broke up.

After the group broke up, the musician starred in several films: “Once Upon a Time in America,” “Sea Adventures” and “The Afternoon.” At the moment, he continues to act in low-budget films and television series, and also devotes a lot of time to his wife Kelly Baldwin and children.
Lance Bass
In addition to his love of music, Bass is interested in the natural sciences, and in his early childhood he dreamed of becoming an astronaut. Lance even intended to become the third space tourist and completed a training course, after which he was only required to pay a decent amount of money to get on board the ship, but due to financial problems the flight did not take place.
Shortly before the breakup of the group, Lance entered the first year of one of the colleges, where he is studying the basics of management in show business.
Lance was probably the most modest of the N Sync group. According to him, he feels more confident on stage as a backup dancer. It is known that he got rid of the stress that the musician faced while touring with the help of video games.
Not long ago, the artist admitted to being gay. On December 20, 2014, Bass married his boyfriend Michael Turchin, whom he had been dating for about four years.
Chris Kirkpatrick
Being the oldest participant in the project, Chris was also the funniest. According to other band members, they could laugh endlessly at his jokes.

Chris is the owner of his own fashion label FuMan Skeeto, his collections are included in shows. His label's logo features a mosquito with a mustache.
The artist leads an active lifestyle and loves skateboarding, surfing and football.
Let's remember our favorite clips:
The beginning of the group's professional career can be traced to the television show Mickey Mouse Club on the Disney Channel, which featured Joshua "JC" Chasez (born August 8, 1976; favorite food: cheese) and Justin "Curly" Timberlake (born January 31, 1981; favorite food). : spaghetti and porridge) appeared together. Future pop star Britney Spears also worked there and worked there for almost three years.
After the project ended, they moved to Nashville, where they took lessons from the same vocalist while working on solo projects. They also took dance lessons from Prince and Michael Jackson's former choreographer.
Fate soon brought Joshua and Justin back to Orlando, and upon their return they formed a band with Pittsburgh, real name: Chris Kirkpatrick (b. October 17, 1971; dream girl: Gwen Stefani) and New York native Joey Fatone (b. 28 January, 1977; favorite food: pizza). Kirkpatrick convinced the quartet to begin working on choral harmony, and with the addition of bass vocalist Lance Bass (his real name) to the group, the group's lineup was finalized.
At the end of 1997, the quintet managed to sign a contract with RCA Records. With the help of several well-known producers - including Christian Lundin, who worked with the Backstreet Boys, and, later, Denis Pop (his clients included Robyn and Ace of Base), a team called N "Sync made several popular songs for radio and released their debut album, exclusively for Europe. Following this, the group went overseas, where they were very warmly received in Germany and the Netherlands. A triumphant return to their homeland in the spring of 1998 allowed them to feel confident enough to release their first self-titled album in America.
N'Sync slowly made their way in the United States, but in early autumn, a performance in an MTV special on the Disney Channel and two hits included in the Top 40 hits (I Want You Back I Tearin'Up My Heart) allowed the album to win a platinum disc. . (In Canada - already double platinum). Publications such as Rolling Stone sparked a rivalry between N'Sync and the Backstreet Boys, and indeed, in early August, the groups were vying for supremacy on the Top 10 charts. Moreover, N'Sync also owes its success to youth magazines such as Tiger Beat and Girls Life, who shouted at the top of their lungs that the band would be the next big thing.
Perhaps they are right. There seems to be no sign of the band's popularity fading. Recently, Janet Jackson invited the guys to open her October concerts, and in November 2000 the group's holiday album Home for Christmas will be released. After completing work with Jackson, N'Sync plan to continue the fight for popularity among the roaring crowd of girls.

However, despite his best efforts, Chasez was unable to achieve significant success and became a songwriter and producer.

After leaving the team, he mainly works on television, voicing cartoon characters. But failure in his solo music career did not stop Chris, and he launched his own record label, FuMan Skeeto. Chris, despite his mature age, remains the same lover of skateboarding, surfing and football as in the days of 'N Sync.
