Apart from famous groups like Backstreet Boys, NSYNC or Spice Girls, there were also many pop groups who were able to make a few hits before fading into obscurity

Let’s drown in nostalgia with the collection of 10 best pop groups that you almost forgot (or didn’t even know that they existed). 

1. Blaque

Although the band was not that popular, its members were part of the MTV well-known cheerleading comedy film Bring It On, which was aired in the early 2000s. In fact, they started the group in 1999 and was able to make a few hits like 808 or Bring It All To Me before splitting up in 2004.

5. S Club 17

What makes S Club 7 better remembered than other groups of the same time is their special fictionalized show. The group whose biggest hit was Bring It All Back reunited in 20015 and went on a tour of the same with the track.  

6. O-Town

Among singers and musical groups launched via the TV shows Making the Band, O-Town appeared to be one of the most brilliant. At that time, the world was no stranger to the idea of boy groups studded with handsome young men. However, the success of O-Town was surprising.

7. 5ive

Being founded by the same managers of Spice Girls, 5ive is the British band of 5 talented boys including Sean Conlon, Scott Robinson, and Ritchie Neville.

8. LFO

With two hits Summer Girls and Girl On TV which took the whole world by storm in the summer of 1999, it was such a pity that LFO was unable to make it bigger. In fact, after splitting up in 2002, the band got reunited for a couple of times but sadly two of the three members has just died recently.

9. M2M

The Norwegian pop music duo including two friends Marion Raven and Marit Larsen started their career with a children’s album in 1996 when they were just around 11 and 12. They were able to take some hits like Don't Say You Love Me, The Day You Went Away, and Pretty Boy before disbanding in 2002 to pursue their solo career.

10. t.A.t.U.

The Russian duo gained more reputation for faking lesbian relationship than any other hits of them. In addition to that, t.A.t.U. seems to be one of the groups who had the longest years active as they worked from 1999 to 2012.
