No Strings Attached

From Free net encyclopedia

Template:Album infobox

No Strings Attached is a pop album by American boy band *NSYNC, released on March 21, 2000 (see 2000 in music). Before the release of No Strings Attached, *NSYNC's second album, the band acrimoniously split from their old management and signed to Jive Records. This album was intended to counter the perception of *NSYNC as un-hip corporate creations (the album title is a play on the idea of freedom from corporate control). In some quarters, the tactic worked, and *NSYNC's brand of blue eyed soul and bubblegum pop won over new converts. A majority of music critics, and many listeners, however, dismissed the album as another cynical marketing attempt.

However, the album did break records for most albums sold in a single week (2.41 million copies, with over 1 million sold in the first day).
