'N Sync - Bye Bye Bye #ad
When N Sync' released their 2000 album No Strings Attached, the title of the album was not chosen by any random means like a marketing strategy or an online poll, but reflected the struggle the boy band was going through with their label and their manager including the many lawsuits filed by them against the boy band.
The members of the boy band lost their independence and felt like puppets with strings attached to their manager and their record label, hence the title of the album No Strings Attached.
In the late 90s boy bands were a money making machine with strict contract guidelines put forth by their managers,anyone who dares to break them were taken to court without any sympathy or mercy by their record label including their own managers.
The more popular they are, more money can the manager extract from the boy band.
Almost all the boy bands of the late 90s had a lawsuit against them filed by their previous manager.
This includes Backstreet Boys, Westlife, East17 and many others.
But unlike any of the bands mentioned above, N Sync tasted success unparalleled, unconquerable, unbeatable for many more years to come when No Strings Attached was released mid 2000.
Most of their videos had a puppet-based theme that was never done before, which made their songs an instant hit with the MTV generation.
When "Bye Bye Bye" was released by N sync mid 2000, the song received an enormous amount of air play on MTV and VH1.
Justin Timberlake the lead singer of N sync' became a sensation with the teenage girls for his performance in the music video of "Bye Bye Bye".
The song peaked at the number four position in the Billboard hot 100 US charts.
The album on the whole, debuted at the number one position in the Billboard 200 charts and sold more than 2.5 million copies, in less than a week in United States of America.
A record that was broken by Adele's Hello in October 2015.
No strings attached also received positive reviews in Europe, especially in the UK, where the album spent a record 15 weeks at the top of the Billboard UK charts.
The album includes, other songs including...
It's gonna be me, I'll never stop, This I Promise you... Which were all chartered in the top 20 of the Billboard US charts.
Even though "Bye Bye Bye" did not reach the top spot in the Billboard US charts, N sync's another song from the same album "Ït's gonna be me" reached the number one position in the Billboard charts.
But easily, on any given day "Bye Bye Bye " is their most popular song to date.

Bye bye bye
I'm doing this tonight
You're probably gonna start a fight
I know this can't be right
Hey baby come on
I loved you endlessly
When you weren't there for me
So now it's time to leave and make it alone
I know that I can't take no more
It ain't no lie
I want to see you out that door
Baby bye bye bye
Bye bye Don't want to be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
You may hate me but it ain't no lie
Baby bye bye bye
Bye bye
Don't want to make it tough
I just want to tell you that I've had enough
It might sound crazy but it ain't no lie
Baby bye bye bye
You just hit me with the truth
Now girl you're more than welcome to
So give me one good reason
Baby come on
I've lived for you and me
And now I really come to see
That life would be much better once you're gone
I know that I can't take no more
Ain't no lie
I want to see you out that door
Baby bye bye bye
Bye bye Don't want to be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
You may hate me but it ain't no lie
Baby bye bye bye
Bye bye
Don't want to make it tough
I just want to tell you that I've had enough
It might sound crazy but it ain't no lie
Baby bye bye bye
I'm givng up I know for sure
don't' want to be the reason for your love no more
Bye bye
I'm checking out, I'm signing off
Don't want to be the loser and I've had enough
Don't want to be your fool in this game for two
So I'm leaving you behind
(Bye bye bye)
I don't want to make it tough
(Make it tough)
But I've had enough
(Bye bye)
And it ain't no lie
Bye bye Don't want to be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
You may hate me but it ain't no lie
Baby bye bye bye
Bye bye
Don't want to make it tough
I just want to tell you that I've had enough
It might sound crazy but it ain't no lie
Baby bye bye bye
