On May 6, 1996, their debut album was released internationally, with an exception of the US and the Canadian markets however, it was later released in Canada in October 1996.Įuropean popularity grew and the Backstreet Boys kicked off 1996 being voted the No. They finished recording their first album Backstreet Boys in April 1996 and filmed their fourth music video, "Get Down (You're the One for Me)" in Germany. In November 1995 they filmed their second video music for their second international single, "I'll Never Break Your Heart", which was only issued in Europe on February 12, 1996. European success sent them on a summer tour there and shifted the Backstreet Boys' promotion being mostly done in Europe. 69 by December, the single however, enjoyed quite a success in Europe entering the top-5 in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France and the Netherlands.
(In North America, Montreal radio broke the group after local programmers heard it on European radio.) The song was a minor success in the States peaking at only No. The first single that was chosen to be released was "We've Got It Goin' On" which was sent to radio in August and released as a physical single on September 5, 1995. The group had its very first performance at SeaWorld Orlando in May 1993. Pearlman decided to call the group Backstreet Boys, naming it after Orlando's Backstreet flea market. Brian Littrell was added to the group after Richardson had him audition for the group over the telephone. Eventually, Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson, and Howie Dorough were selected after meeting Pearlman's expectations. In January 1993, Pearlman held an open casting call during which hundreds of young performers danced and sang at his blimp hangar in Kissimmee, south of Orlando. A.J., who was the first to audition for Pearlman in his living room, became the group's first member. In the course of all this, Lou Pearlman, in early 1992 had placed an ad in Orlando Sentinel announcing auditions to compose a boy band. Brian Littrell was later invited to join, turning the group into a quintet. Eventually, he met Dorough, Carter, and McLean through a co-worker, and the four decided to form a group. Meanwhile, Richardson moved to Orlando, where he took several jobs at Disney, including a tour guide, and the roles of Aladdin and a Ninja Turtle and concentrated on music at nights. The three, realizing at one audition, that they all shared a great affection for classical soul which they were able to harmonize together, decided to form a trio. McLean were natives of Orlando, Florida, who met each other and later discovered Nick Carter through auditions who joined the two for local commercials, theater, and television.
Cousins Kevin Richardson and Brian Littrell, both of whom came from Lexington, Kentucky, initially began singing in local church choirs and festivals while they were children.
