Backstreet Boys fans collide! “Millennium,” the iconic album is turning 25, and the Backstreet Boys are celebrating in a big way. They’re set to release “Millennium 2.0,” a deluxe 25th-anniversary edition packed with remastered tracks, rare recordings, and even a brand-new song.
Originally released in 1999, “Millennium” shattered records, becoming one of the best-selling albums of all time. With hits like “I Want It That Way,” “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back),” and “Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely,” the album dominated the charts. Now, a quarter of a century later, fans can relive the magic with this special commemorative release.
“Millennium 2.0” promises a treat for both longtime devotees and newer listeners. The original 12 tracks have been meticulously remastered, offering a crisper, more vibrant listening experience. But the real treasure lies in the bonus content. The deluxe edition includes a collection of live recordings that capture the energy and excitement of the Backstreet Boys‘ performances.
Beyond the live recordings, the reissue also includes demos and B-sides, providing a fascinating look into the album’s creative process. Fans can hear early versions of their favorite songs and explore tracks that didn’t make the original cut. This behind-the-scenes access offers a deeper appreciation for the artistry and hard work that went into creating “Millennium.”
Perhaps the most exciting addition for fans is the inclusion of a brand-new track titled “HEY.” This fresh song gives a taste of what the Backstreet Boys have been working on. It’s a welcome surprise and a perfect way to celebrate the album’s milestone anniversary.
Mark your calendars! “Millennium 2.0” is scheduled for release on July 11, 2025. Whether you’re a die-hard fan who remembers every lyric or someone just discovering the Backstreet Boys for the first time, this reissue is a must-have.
