ted’ N Sync and the Backstreet Boys, two boy bands who collectively have sold over 30 million CDs worldwide. Pearlman’s bands have been topping the charts since the 1980s. Before he created a recording label, Pearlman owned a transportation company that leased airplanes. He realized that he could make a fortune in pop music when he leased a private jet to a boy band.
Where does Pearlman get his songs? Originality is not important. He has been successful in re-recording old songs- and making them new. The members of the band are chosen mostly for their looks, rather than for their musical talents. Many can’t play an instrument, write lyrics, compose music, or even sing. Usually, however, there is at least one band member who has some level of musical ability.
What group has had more number-one recordings in the UK? The Beatles? The Rolling Stones? The Beatles had seven UK number ones.
Westlife, created by another Louis-Louis Walsh –has had more than twelve. Formed in 1999, Westlife has been topping the charts all over the world. Walsh has been successful with a formula similar to Pearlman’s. He only records cover versions, and he selects good-looking, outgoing-but not necessarily musically talented-young men.
