N*Sync’s record label has released a very comprehensive Greatest Hits CD, igniting our inner boy band nostalgia. Sadly, there’s no new material, but we can all love this CD like its brand new! Essential N*Sync was released so secretly that the band themselves didn’t even know it was coming out. Lance Bass was not particularly happy about not getting a notice, but he’s now taking it in stride.

Nevertheless, we have been graced with another N*Sync album to add to our collections. Essential N*Sync features our favorite songs like “Tearin’ up my Heart”, “Girlfriend”, and “Bye Bye Bye”, but also features unreleased material never heard by fans. Most importantly the song “Believe in Yourself” from their Sesame Street Performance has a spot on the album, and I couldn’t be happier.
