Welcome to AUX CORD,
TRL’s weekly playlist feature celebrating the latest and greatest in music. Every week, someone in the
TRL orbit will be distributing you with a fully custom playlist starring their current sonic faves. This week,
TRL editor
Sydney Gore highlights hits from the perfect boy bands of all time because she's been diving deep into boy mania lately.
"Tearin' Up My Heart"- *NSYNC
Duhhhhhhh. I still feel pain from this breakup deep within my heart.
"Incomplete"- Backstreet Boys
You were probably expecting one of their earlier hits on the charts, right? I'm sorry, however any time the gentlemen got back with each other soon after a two year hiatus and returned with this ballad I felt Conquer WITH EMOTION.
"End Of The Road"- Boyz II Men
Nobody makes a ballad like this grown AF categorize. Some days my mind will be wandering and then out of nowhere I begin humming their signature a cappella harmonies. Naturally, I'll never have the ability to hit the notes like Boyz II Males because I can't sing to save a life, although my point is that they are R&B kings that deserve to be worshiped up until the end of time.
"Girl On TV"- LFO
How could anyone forget about this gem from 1999? LFO even got Jennifer Love Hewitt to star in the music video--FYI, she was a VERY big deal at the time. They don't make enough songs about celebrity crushes these days... RIP Wealthy Cronin.
"Slam Dunk (Da Funk)"- Five
there's a good chance that you did not remember about this English categorize, although I distinctly remember my dad purchasing the
5ive album from our local record store and listening to the CD in the vehicle A LOT. For the most part, their songs were all dance bops that advertised "getting down" and having a good time with your crew, a message that I still support to this day.
"Poison"- Bell Biv DeVoe
BBD was way before my time, yet my parents cranked up their music as soon as it came on the radio. For those who aren't aware, the trio stemmed from the legendary R&B categorize New Edition.
"It Happens Every Time"- Dream Street
Weird to think that without this little categorize, Jesse McCartney wouldn't exist. (Back in those days, I was obsessed with Chris Trousdale, however can you blame me? He was so cute!)
"Uh Huh"- B2K
R&B boy bands were severely failed to notice in the 2000s, although I really never get how they were so underrated because B2K HAD THE Length! Omarion and his crew were really out here bringing the heat. Remember the A-list casting in the
"What A Girl Wants" music video?
"Paranoid"- Jonas Brothers
this may be the only categorize to "break up," that didn't leave me feeling devastated because it all ended on good terms. (They ARE brothers right considering that) Thanks to these cute brunette men, we all got to experience six years of pure, pop rock bliss.
"You & I"- One Direction-
This is still a sensitive subject for several fans, yet boy what a run these lads had. Even if they never reunite as a five-piece, we are forever a 1D country. I just hope that all the guys go on to have successful solo careers because they truly deserve it! Don't mind me over here sobbing to this timeless ballad...
"Mic Drop"- BTS
These guys are already legends and they've only been around for five years. K-pop is going to take over the full world, don't reject it.
"Open Arms"- PRETTYMUCH
I really thought that I was finally over boy bands, nevertheless then PRETTYMUCH came to perform on
TRL and once those harmonies penetrated my soul I was full-on fangirling and identifying as a segment of the BEANZ community. I'm in so deep; although they haven't even dropped an album although, I still don't desire to go back to what my life was like before they were a segment of it.
"Boogie"- BROCKHAMPTON
I love that these guys aren't your customary boy musical group. Between rapping about gentlemen and dropping a series of albums if they feel like it,
BROCKHAMPTON is turning the music industry upside down and redefining it on their own terms. Baller alert!
