Penty of cult artists have gone mainstream. Not Liz Phair…
J.C. Chasez was always the talented one in NSYNC. But this album ensured he’d never measure up to the other guy.
A rare instance where a band’s most successful album helped lead to its demise.
80’s star Bryan Adams beat the odds and thrived in the 90s. Then came this album.

Van Halen made a triumphant appearance with David Lee Roth at the 1996 MTV VMAs. So then they made an album with Gary Cherone?

When New Kids on the Block (sorry, NKOTB) tried to re-invent their sound, let’s just say it was not successful.
