It’s True! One Of The Backstreet Boys Joins The Country Music Association

There’s the AJ McLean you think you know…the trendsetter and member of one of the most successful groups of all time, the multi-platinum selling Backstreet Boys.

A group that has become the best selling boy band in history, having sold over 140 million records, and have earned themselves a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Then there’s the real AJ McLean, the ultimate trendsetter and a raw singer/songwriter, an artist dripping with soul and bare emotion. A legend of the 90s boyband era, AJ has always been a cultural vanguard.

You’ve seen him in the front row at New York Fashion Week, you’ve seen him on stage, on the small screen and even on the big screen and now you’re going to see him at his best… “I’m kind of a chameleon,” he states. It’s true: AJ has his hand in everything from fashion to acting, but it’s making his solo music that really sets him apart from his peers, and now, in a hint of what’s to come, AJ stopped by the Country Music Association offices this week (February 28th) in Nashville to officially become a member.

No stranger to the country world, 2017 saw AJ and the Backstreet Boys teaming up with multi-platinum selling Florida Georgia Line for the hit single “”God, Your Mama, and Me,” off their “Dig Your Roots” album. The much buzzed about collaboration included a performance of the #1 single (as well as the Backstreet Boys’ “Everybody”) at the 2017 ACM Awards and a joint CMT Crossroads showcasing both of the groups biggest songs, as well as a stadium tour that saw them performing to sold out crowds across the country.
