During their Sphere residency the Backstreet Boys reflect on how Millennium represents a unique moment in time

Backstreet Boys Reignite Millennium Magic with Epic Las Vegas Sphere Residency and 25-Track Album Millennium 2.0
More than two decades after defining an era of pop music, the Backstreet Boys are back in the spotlight — and this time, they’re making history all over again. The iconic boy band has launched their highly anticipated Into the Millennium residency at Sphere Las Vegas, bringing their record-breaking 1999 album Millennium to life in one of the world’s most technologically advanced concert venues.

To mark this nostalgic milestone, the group has also released Millennium 2.0 — a 25-track expanded edition of the classic album, filled with unreleased demos, live performances, alternate versions, and an all-new single titled “HEY.”

Revisiting a Pop Culture Phenomenon
In a recent interview with ABC Audio, Nick Carter and AJ McLean opened up about what Millennium means to them and why this particular album still resonates so strongly with fans over two decades later.

“I think it was a very special place and time for a lot of people,” Nick explained. “We were coming out of the Y2K era. Everyone thought the world was going to end.”

AJ chimed in with a laugh, “And nothing happened, by the way!”

Nick added, “That whole period was surreal for us. Millennium ended up being our biggest album, and it came out during a time when artists were doing things nobody had ever done — selling a million records in a single week.”

And that’s exactly what Backstreet Boys did. Upon its release in May 1999, Millennium sold 1.134 million copies in its first week alone, breaking the record previously held by country megastar Garth Brooks. It was a defining moment not just for the group, but for the entire teen pop explosion of the late ’90s and early 2000s. Artists like *NSYNC and Britney Spears followed closely behind, further cementing the era as one of the most commercially explosive in music history. Just a year later, NSYNC shattered Backstreet’s record with No Strings Attached, which sold over 2.4 million units in a single week.

“It was like lightning in a bottle,” Nick said. “The world was going through so much change. Technology was evolving, music was evolving, and we just happened to be right there in the middle of it.”

Into the Millennium: A Las Vegas Experience Like No Other
Now, the Backstreet Boys are bringing that magic back to life in a visually stunning residency at Sphere Las Vegas — the groundbreaking venue known for its massive 360-degree screens, immersive audio, and mind-blowing visuals.

The show blends the past and present, spotlighting Millennium’s iconic tracks like “I Want It That Way,” “Larger Than Life,” and “Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely,” while also revisiting fan favorites from across their career.

“When you come to see this show, it’s like stepping into a time machine,” Nick said. “It takes you back to that feel-good era — that moment when music made you feel alive and connected.”

This isn’t just another concert. It’s a multisensory celebration of one of pop’s most beloved eras, tailor-made for longtime fans and new listeners alike. The production uses cutting-edge technology to bring the nostalgia to life in bold, vivid, unforgettable ways.

Millennium 2.0: A New Chapter for a Classic Album
To complement the residency, the group has dropped Millennium 2.0 — a digital and physical reissue that reimagines the original 12-track album with 13 additional songs, including:

Live recordings from past tours

Rare demo versions of fan favorites

An alternate version of “I Want It That Way” featuring never-before-heard lyrics

The brand-new track “HEY,” giving fans a taste of the Backstreet Boys’ continued evolution

“We wanted to give the fans something special — not just a re-release, but a full experience,” AJ said. “This project is about honoring where we came from and showing people that we’re still here, still creating, and still loving what we do.”

Why the Nostalgia Still Matters
More than 25 years after their debut, the Backstreet Boys continue to prove their lasting influence. Millennium wasn’t just an album — it was a cultural event, a defining soundtrack to the late ‘90s, and an emotional time capsule for millions of fans worldwide.

Their continued success speaks volumes: sold-out residencies, streaming hits, new music, and a global fanbase that spans generations.

“Nostalgia isn’t just about the past,” Nick concluded. “It’s about reconnecting with the moments that made us who we are — as artists, and as people. And that’s what this show and this new version of Millennium are all about.”

Where to Listen and Watch
Millennium 2.0 is available now on all major streaming platforms and in physical formats.

Catch the Backstreet Boys live at Sphere Las Vegas for a once-in-a-lifetime journey through pop music history.

Whether you grew up with Backstreet Boys or just discovered them, Into the Millennium is a reminder of how powerful great music can be — and why some eras are just too good to forget.
