Are we finally getting the millennial pop dream we&rsquo;ve waited decades for?
From &ldquo;Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely&rdquo; to &ldquo;It&rsquo;s Gonna Be Me,&rdquo; fans have long fantasized about a collaboration between the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC. Now, that fantasy may be closer to reality than ever.
The Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter revealed in a recent interview with &lsquo;Parade&rsquo; that a future collaboration between his music group and NSYNC &nbsp;is on the table.
&nbsp;&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve talked about it a ton, actually,&rdquo; Carter said. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve had those conversations internally with managers. It just hasn&rsquo;t lined up yet.&rdquo;
He added that a collaboration would be &ldquo;a really great experience for us and the fans.&rdquo;

This isn&rsquo;t the first time the idea has come up. Both bands shared the stage during the NKOTBSB Tour back in 2011&ndash;2012 and the chemistry was undeniable. But with NSYNC largely inactive since their 2002 Celebrity tour, hopes for a full-scale reunion have stayed on simmer.
Carter&rsquo;s comments echo what fellow BSB member AJ McLean said earlier this year when asked about a joint tour: &ldquo;No one knows what the future holds,&rdquo; he told E! News. "They haven't done something in over 22 years," he added of NSYNC, which last toured in 2002 in promotion of their last studio album, Celebrity. "And we're gonna keep doing what we do.
In 2023, NSYNC released , &ldquo;Better Place&rdquo;. The release marked the group's first song in two decades &nbsp;&nbsp;The group reunited publicly to promote the single, fueling rumors of a comeback.

&ldquo;We haven&rsquo;t had that conversation yet,&rdquo; NSYNC&rsquo;s Joey Fatone said in May. &ldquo;Everybody&rsquo;s everywhere in the world and I think it&rsquo;s more important we get everybody in person, as opposed to just getting on a chat.&rdquo;
Meanwhile, the Backstreet Boys are continuing to ride their own wave of success. The group is set to launch a nine-show Las Vegas residency, the &nbsp;Into the Millennium show, at the Sphere in July and August&mdash;bringing their iconic 1999 Millennium album to life in an all-new, larger-than-life production.
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a rebirth of a record we released years ago,&rdquo; said Howie Dorough. &ldquo;Some fans are seeing it again, some for the first time. It&rsquo;s a comeback on the next level.&rdquo;
