NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK RETURN

August 16th 2008 23:47
ICONIC POP GROUP RETURNS WITH NEW ALBUM AND SOLD-OUT TOUR

Pop supergroup New Kids on the Block are back. Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg, Danny Wood and Jordan and Jonathan Knight return on September 6, 2008 with The Block, their first album together in almost 15 years.


Featuring the first single, the hit mellow jam “Summertime,” the album also features collaborations with some of the biggest names in pop music. R&B superstar Ne-Yo appears on “Single,” the follow-up to “Summertime.” Other collaborations include “Grown Man” (with The Pussycat Dolls and uber-producer Teddy Riley), “Put It on My Tab” (with the ubiquitous Akon), “Big Girl Now” (with NY dance-pop diva Lady GaGa) and the much-buzzed about “Full Service” (with fellow super-group New Edition).

NKOTB will support The Block with a sold-out tour that starts on September 18 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and continues throughout North America until the end of November.

NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK sold more than 80 million albums worldwide - including back-to-back international #1 songs, 1988’s Hangin' Tough and 1990’s Step By Step - and a series of crossover smash R&B, pop hits like You Got It (The Right Stuff), Cover Girl, Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time), Hangin' Tough,I’ll Be Loving You, Step By Step and Tonight.

The group shattered concert box office records playing an estimated 200 concerts a year, in sold out stadiums throughout the world. They still hold many of these records to date. They were Forbes highest paid entertainers of 1990, beating out Michael Jackson and Madonna. The band boasted an extensive and highly profitable merchandise line which included everything from lunch boxes and sleeping bags to comic books, marbles and dolls.
