![]() They didn't like each other for a little while." Fatone revealed, "Did anyone have any beef? AJ and Chris did, because they were dating the same girl, she broke up with one - I think AJ - and dated Chris. There was a sense of healthy competition between the bands, but in reality they weren't holding grudges - well except for the one time when two of the guys ended up dating the same girl. Rather than spend their time beefing with the Backstreet Boys, the members of *NSYNC recall their "rivalry" being more about making each other better. Fatone told Billboard, "We say it all the time, I even said it to Howie - 'Thank you for saying no.'" ![]() While this seems like the kind of story that could have sparked a real rivalry between the two bands, it's actually something they still talk about to this day.

One thing that even the guys' most diehard fans may have forgotten is that they weren't an immediate success in the United States. *NSYNC marked the 20th anniversary of their debut album's release on March 24, and to celebrate the momentous career landmark, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick, and Lance Bass shared the history of the band with Billboard, in their own words. In fact, the band credits Backstreet Boys for their success in America for one important reason. Did the guys ever have beef?
