Backstreet Boys is the reissue of the 1996 album of the same name, released by the vocal-pop group Backstreet Boys in the United States on August 12, 1997.[4] Its initial release contains six tracks from their first studio album, Backstreet Boys (1996) and five tracks from their second studio album Backstreet's Back (1997). Released a day after Backstreet's Back, both albums share nearly the same cover but with different titles. The album served as their debut in the United States, where their previous records were not released.
The album became one of their most successful albums and received acclaim from music critics. It peaked at number four on the Billboard 200 albums chart and has been certified 14× platinum (diamond) by the RIAA for sales to retailers, having sold over 14 million copies to date in the United States.[5] The album was reported as the second highest seller in the past fourteen years for Music Club sales as of 2003, selling 1.72 million units.[6]
The original 1997 pressing of the album contains 11 songs—six from the 1996 Backstreet Boys album and five from Backstreet's Back. This version did not include "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)", which was included on Backstreet's Back.
The album was reissued for a second time in 1998. The reissue contains the single mixes of "Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)" and "As Long as You Love Me" in addition to an extended version of "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)".[7] For the single version of "Quit Playing Games", the second verse was re-recorded to feature Nick Carter, replacing Brian Littrell's verse from the original version. The single version of "As Long as You Love Me" uses different instrumentation, arrangement, and mixing.
The original pressing of the album had a maroon spine and blue background on the back inlay. The second pressing of the album had a teal spine and a straw-colored background on the back inlay. Both versions of the album contained the same Enhanced Section, containing videos and other multimedia files.
Backstreet Boys debuted at number 29 on the U.S. Billboard 200 the week of August 30, 1997, with 40,000 copies sold.[8] On January 31, 1998, it peaked at number four on the chart; by this point the album had sold two million copies in the United States.[9][10] According to Nielsen SoundScan, it was the fifty-second best selling record of 1997 in the United States with 1,300,000 copies sold and the third best selling album of 1998 with 5,700,000 copies sold.[11][12] The album was certified fourteen times platinum by the RIAA on April 5, 2001, denoting shipments of fourteen million.[5]
As of March 2015, the album had sold 11,687,000 copies in the US according to Nielsen Music.[13] It had sold additional 1.72 million units at the BMG Music Club as of February 2003.[14]
