The Essential *NSYNC

The Essential *NSYNC is the fourth compilation album by American boy band NSYNC. It was released on July 29, 2014, four years after their third compilation The Collection. It is also the second overall album under RCA Records following their self-titled album in 1998. The album contains a total of thirty-four tracks, including hit singles, album tracks, B-sides, rare recordings, and soundtrack features. Despite being only a compilation release, the album received widespread press coverage after it was revealed that none of the band members had been told about its release. The album sold out on Amazon on the day of release, and quickly vaulted into the top ten albums on the iTunes Store. Band member Lance Bass said of the album on his radio show, Dirty Pop: "There's a lot of these songs I don't think I've ever heard, I remember recording them but I've never heard them before, so I'm interested in just hearing them." JC Chasez tweeted about the album's release, stating: "I had the strangest dream last night that some old friends and I had a top 10 record on iTunes. Crazy right..."
