The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce announced on Tuesday that famed American boy-band *NSYNC or ‘N Sync will receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on April 30th 2018.  According to Variety, the star will be located at 7080 Hollywood Boulevard near the corner of La Brea, where they will join other boy bands who have already been honored, including Backstreet Boys, Boyz II Men, New Kids on the Block, and New Edition.  Members of *NSYNC consists of Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Lance Bass and Joey Fatone. The band was formed in Orlando, FL in 1995 and has sold over 30 million records in the U.S. and 42 million more worldwide, charting with a dozen singles and conquering Top 40, dance, Latin, country, and R&B charts. The group was nominated for eight Grammys, including record of the year for “Bye Bye Bye” and best pop album for “Celebrity” in 2001.

After heavily publicized legal battles with their former manager Lou Pearlman and former record label Bertelsmann Music Group and former record label , the group’s second album, No Strings Attached , sold over one million copies in one day and 2.42 million copies in one week, which was a record for over fifteen years making them one of the most successful male groups of all time.

After the group split in 2002, Timberlake went on to have an impressive solo career, releasing five albums and winning 10 Grammys, most recently for “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” in 2016. Timberlake, who released new album “Man of the Woods” in February, is currently prepping for a worldwide tour.  As this year’s Superbowl Halftime Performer, he repeatedly shot down rumors that *NSYNC would reunite during his show.

Among the group’s singles,  “This I Promise You, “Girlfriend” and ”  It’s Gonna Be Me” reached the top 10 in several international charts, with the latter being a US Billboard Hot 100 number one.
