Backstreet Boys sign with BMG
By Chris Cooke | Published on Friday 19 July 2013
Backstreet Boys, the “best-selling boy band of all time” according to this here press release, have announced an alliance with BMG, which will represent the pop group in both the publishing and recordings domain on their upcoming album ‘In A World Like This’. It’s a global deal excluding Japan.
In a statement, the group’s management team at Prospect Park said: “Backstreet Boys’ new deal with BMG represents the “best of both worlds” for the artist. BSB gets to own their album while at the same time they have a real team behind the marketing and promotion of their music. It’s a win-win for both teams”.
Meanwhile BMG’s Richard Blackstone told CMU: “Having worked with the Backstreet Boys over 20 years ago, it is of great personal satisfaction to be working with them again. Their careers are quite remarkable and it is probably safe to say that they have claimed their place in history as the greatest male pop group of all time. Moreover, these guys remain just as ambitious and passionate as the day they started and we are so proud that they have put their trust in BMG”.
