NSYNC

Contemporary R&B
Contemporary R&BDance-pop

NSYNC is a Contemporary R&B and Dance-pop act. Their sound grew out of Madonna, Michael Jackson, Backstreet Boys, The Jackson 5 and Ace of Base. Those roots explain a lot about how NSYNC arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Five, 98º, BBMak, Westlife and Jessica Simpson, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Jonas Brothers, Meghan Trainor, Alabama, Ariana Grande and Mitski, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 99 connections around NSYNC, reaching back through Madonna and forward to Jonas Brothers.
