The late 90's - early 00's were full of pop music groups, none as prolific as *NSYNC. But how does a group go from a nobody boyband to one of the most popular groups of all time seemingly overnight? And what happens when that same group decides to finally call in quits at the peak of fame?

Volume 3: Dirty Pop explores the overall pop genre during the late 90's to early 00's. We will chart an entire genre's rise and fall through the lens of a few unique perspectives.

In this specific track Chris Kirkpatrick of *NSYNC talks about actually forming the group, how they found European success easier than American success, how surreal the "Celebrity" experience was, and what happened when the group said "Bye, Bye, Bye".

After the Encore is committed to showing you what happens to your favorite artists when the music fades, what happens after the encore?
