New Kids on the Block fans — also known as “Blockheads” — found a way to give back to the five Boston brothers that make them smile. Collectively, joining together on Twitter, fans of the still popular 80’s boy band raised over $8,000 to put a full page ad in Billboard Magazine — out in stores March 30.

Donations were collected from nearly 30 countries for the ad, which congratulated NKOTB on their latest album, “10” which hits stores on April 2. Donnie Wahlberg, Joey McIntyre, Danny Wood, Jonathan Knight, and Jordan Knight were presented with framed copies of their ad during their record release party at the Orpheum Theater in Boston on Saturday.

“Fans in the theater held up heart shaped posters with #ThankYou written on them while those on Twitter who were unable to attend the show supported the moment by changing their profile pictures,” explained Blockhead, Mabelle.

New Kids on the Block fans’ efforts didn’t go unnoticed by the guys, either.

The New Kids on the Block gave their audience a special treat at the Orpheum Theater this weekend, but the fans gave back with a special surprise to show their appreciation to the “five hardest working guys in show business.”

The guys were at Boston’s Orpheum Theater on Saturday for the record release party of their latest album,”10,” which drops on April 2. Fans enjoyed an intimate setting featuring the guys crooning tracks off the upcoming record and a Q&A session. However, in a twist of events, several die-hard New Kids fans were invited on stage to present their boys with five plaques; plaques with a message that can be seen in April’s issue of Billboard magazine:

Donnie, Danny, Jordan, Jonathan, and Joey

25 Years Ago, We Showed the World That Despite the Odds, We Will Always Hang Tough

Five Years Ago, You Came Back to Show That While the Music Industry May Evolve, The Love Between Their Group and Fans Remains

Congratulations New Kids on the Block on the Release of “10”

Love,
Your Blockheads and a Million Sisters Worldwide

As the band accepted their plaques, a few tears were shed as Jonathan Knight took to the microphone to personally thank his fans.

[ Jordan Knight ] Jordan Knight Joins Gregg, Freddy and Sue Live in the Studio

Jordan Knight of New Kids On The Block joined Gregg Daniels, Fast Freddy and Sue Brady live in the Mix studio Friday afternoon in anticipation of the group’s three-night concert event at the Mohegan Sun Arena. New Kids are touring with fellow pop idols 98 Degrees and Boyz II Men and play the Mohegan Sun starting May 28.

The gang asked Jordan about his working relationship with the rest of New Kids on the Block, and how they decide who does what part. He explained that because the guys’ voices are all so unique, they don’t need to argue over certain parts because only one of them is perfect for each one.

They also talked about last year’s New Kids/Backstreet Boys concert at Fenway Park, which could have been rained out – but instead the groups turned the stage into a slip n’ slide while every fan stayed and endured the storm to enjoy the rest of the show.
