[ New Kids on the Block ] Chart Highlights: NKOTB Return With ‘Remix’ On Adult Pop Songs

The Boston boy band returns with the first single from its album ’10,’ due tomorrow.

Debut No. 39 “Remix (I Like The)” New Kids On The Block

Twenty-five years after their breakthrough, Boston’s New Kids on the Block (still New … and still Kids) enter Adult Pop Songs at No. 39 with “Remix (I Like The).” The song previews their 10th album, aptly titled “10,” due tomorrow. While 1988 marked their first of nine Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hits (all in a row through 1990) and first of five Billboard 200 top 10 albums, they actually dented Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs as early as 1986, when their debut single “Be My Girl” spent two weeks at No. 90.

[ New Kids on the Block ] New Kids on the Block fans say ‘thank you’ in a big way

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.

[ New Kids on the Block ] Fans present NKOTB with full page Billboard ad

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.

[ New Kids on the Block ] Germany – Review: 10 (inkl. Tracklist und Cover)

Da sind sie ja wieder – Die “New Kids on the Block” sind zurück. Die Zeiten schmelzender Mädchenherzen sind zwar vorbei, aber nichtsdestotrotz liefern Donnie Wahlberg und seine Bandkollegen Jonathan Knight, Jordan Knight, Joey McIntyre und Danny Wood ihren neuen Longplayer “10″ ab. Und dabei merkt man schnell, dass die Jungs älter geworden sind. Und wir meinen das im positiven Sinne…

New Kids on the Block – 10

Mitte der 1980er Jahre gegründet, wurden die Fünf aus Boston die erste weltweit erfolgreiche „Boyband“ und damit zugleich auch Prototyp einer ganzen Generation und Synonym einer neuen Art der Pop-Interpretation. Das Quintett verkaufte seit dem Erscheinen ihres Debütalbums „New Kids on the Block“ weltweit 80 Millionen Tonträger – und nach dem Hören müssen wir attestieren, dass das wohl noch mehr dazukommen werden, denn die Songs sind durchaus hitverdächtig. Der Opener “We own tonight” hat durchaus das Zeug die Charts zu “ownen”, erinnert dabei nicht selten an die Entwicklung, die auch die Backstreet Boys und manch andere Teenie-Boyband so durchlebt hat.

[ New Kids on the Block ] New Kids still rule the block

New Kids on the Block thought they couldn’t get any bigger.

In 1989, the Boston boy band sold out arenas and cornered the market on Trapper Keepers. A quarter century later, the New Kids have lost their notebook dominance, but the coming arena tour will top ’89’s. It will also top their 2008 and 2011 tours.

When NKOTB reunited in 2008, they headlined the TD Garden. In 2011, they packed the Garden and Fenway Park 
a few days apart. This summer, the guys host their fifth annual cruise, play three shows at Mohegan Sun Arena and return to Boston for back-to-back Garden gigs.

“I’m shocked it’s still at this level,” Danny Wood said from his adopted home of Miami. “When you’re away for 15 years and you’re a pop group, you don’t know what to expect. Pop changes so fast, and it’s a young man’s game. I didn’t expect the first reunion to be so big. So to be playing three Mohegan Sun shows when we usually play one, that’s amazing.”

[ New Kids on the Block ] UK – New Kids On The Block Claim New Album Has ‘More Mature Vibe’

American boyband New Kids on the Block (aka NKOTB) have spoken out about their forthcoming new album ‘10’ – saying it’s a much more ‘mature’ effort than their some of their older material.

Produced by longtime production partners DK, the album is the seventh of their career, and follows their last record ‘The Block’, which hit #2 in the US back in 2008. Set for a release on April 2nd, the group have opened up about what fans can expect.

“A lot of pop music nowadays is centred to a younger audience or written for younger artists, but for a group who are all in our 40s, you want to be singing about stuff that resonates with you,” Joey McIntyre told Digital Spy. “I think this music does. Our last album The Block was a little more urban and club-driven, whereas this has a more mature vibe to it.”
