New Kids on the Block enjoyed massive success in the late 1980s and early 1990s and went on to sell 80 million records worldwide. New Kids on the Block’s second album, Hangin’ Tough, featured the lead single, “Please Don’t Go Girl,” a ballad that eventually climbed to number 10 on Billboard’s Hot 100 Singles Chart and became the group’s first hit. By the end of 1989, Hangin’ Tough had climbed to number one on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart and had gone eight-times platinum. They followed Hangin’ Tough with 1990’s Step by Step, another number one album, which eventually was certified triple platinum. In January 1994, their fourth studio album, Face the Music, was released. Having shortened their name to NKOTB, the album failed to achieve the commercial success of their previous efforts. After having disbanded in 1994, several attempts were made to get the group back together – all of them unsuccessful. After secretly reuniting in 2007 and recording a new album, the group released that album and embarked on a concert tour in 2008. The album, entitled The Block, sold 100,000 copies in its first week of release and debuted at number one on the U.S. Top Pop Albums chart and at number two on the Billboard 200. In 2013, they released their seventh studio album, 10. New Kids on the Block continue to tour the world.
