By the time *NSYNC released "Bye Bye Bye" in January 2000, the group was already established as one of the biggest acts in pop music, but the song elevated the band's status and established Justin Timberlakeas the undeniable breakout star of the group. A new ranking names it the best boy band song of all time, placing "Bye Bye Bye" in the No. 1 spot.
"By the time N Sync released this track, it was well established that the group was boy band royalty. They could've been lazy with their next release. But nope, they brought the noise as well as they ever had. What makes "Bye Bye Bye" so awesome though? Well it's simple, really. All this time we thought JC Chasez was the unofficial leader of N Sync.
But when the second album comes around and leads off with this single, we realize it's actually Justin Timberlake's turn now. Maybe this was JT's song bidding the group farewell? Like, "Sorry, I gotta go take over the world." Bye Bye Bye."

♬ original sound - Justice4jcAt the height of the boy band phenomenon, when *NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys dominated the airwaves and album charts, "Bye Bye Bye" arrived at a pivotal moment for *NSYNC. Following a highly publicized legal battle to gain control of their career, the song's message of breaking free carried real-life significance while serving as an irresistibly catchy pop anthem.
Released as the lead single from No Strings Attached, everything about the song became iconic, from its unforgettable opening and instantly recognizable chorus to its marionette-inspired music video complete with precision choreography that created a cultural phenomenon and helped define early 2000s pop music.
