New Kids On The Block's Guest DJ Station: Michael Jackson, Spandau Ballet, & More
June 9, 2017
After 31 years of releasing music (six albums worth), New Kids On The Block released their first EP, titled Thankful. The five-track set is led by NKOTB's single "One More Night," and follows the group's 2013 top-charting album TEN, and was officially released on the same day (May 12th) that their highly anticipated "Total Package Tour" kicked off, which also features Boyz II Men and Paula Abdul. This is Paula's first return to the stage in 25 years. The "Total Package Tour" will hit over 40 North American cities, and will bring the band back to their native Boston, returning to perform at the city's iconic Fenway Park for the first time in five years.
To celebrate all of this excitement, we passed the mic over to the band to curate their own Guest DJ station on iHeartRadio, and the guys picked some of their favorite songs to share with fans.
