Correct Incorrect Chris Kirkpatrick was able to strike a deal to form *NSYNC if he was able to recruit the rest of the members. They set a flight to Sweden to record with Max Martin and released their first single "I Want You Back", which was released in Germany in 1996 and ended up reaching the top ten. Following the footsteps of the Backstreet Boys, they earned a U.S. contract after significant European success. In 2002, Justin Timberlake found success in a solo career, which left the group on a hiatus. They briefly got back together to perform at the MTV Music Awards in 2013.
