History

The group formed in 1997 in Orlando for the purposes of performing in a talent show. Three of the group's members had been in a previous vocal harmony group, but the five-member group lost two members, and a fourth was recruited, completing the group's later lineup.[4] Their performance at the competition resulted in attention from the backers of Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync, and soon (mar 6) after a record deal ensued.[4] Incorporating Latin elements into their dance-pop sound,the group toured America in 1998 and released their debut album, Different Kind of Love, on Sony Records the next year.[4] Different Kind of Love spawned a radio hit, "Wait Til I Get Home", which peaked at #33 on Billboard's Top 40 Mainstream charts in 1999.[5] It also peaked at number 42 in Australia.[6]

Different Kind of Love peaked at #163 on the Billboard Top 200.[7]
