◇ image via WikipediaNSYNC
NSYNC is a Contemporary R&B and Dance-pop act. Their sound grew out of Richard Marx, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Backstreet Boys and The Jackson 5. Those roots explain a lot about how NSYNC arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as 98º, BBMak, Westlife, Jessica Simpson and Willa Ford, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Meghan Trainor, Kelsea Ballerini, Can't Take Me Home, Thank U, Next and 98 Degrees, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 92 connections around NSYNC, reaching back through Richard Marx and forward to Meghan Trainor.
