11 MARCH 2013 (Toronto, ON) – Multi-platinum selling, international pop phenomenon New Kids on the Block today announces entering into an exclusive deal with Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company. The direct partnership begins with NKOTB’s brand new album, 10, in store’s April 2nd. Lead single, “Remix (I Like The)”, is at radio and digital music retailers now.

NKOTB have spent the past six months working hard writing and recording 10, which marks the follow-up to 2008’s The Block, which was certified Gold in Canada. The band’s corresponding world tour was launched with an electrifying four-night stand at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre.

This summer, NKOTB will be headlining a 2013 summer tour – dubbed ‘The Package’ – which includes very special guests 98 Degrees and Boyz II Men.

“Ladies, we’re coming for you,” said NKOTB member Donnie Wahlberg. “This is going to be the craziest year yet-the single, the album, the tour with 98 Degrees and Boyz II Men … We can’t wait to give fans ‘The Package’!”

New Kids on the Block have sold more than 80 million albums and filled stadiums worldwide on the strength of smash hits such as “Hangin’ Tough”, “Step By Step”, “You Got It (The Right Stuff)”, “Cover Girl”, “Didn’t I (Blow Your Mind This Time)”, “I’ll Be Loving You”, and “Tonight”.
