Get ready Mahomies! Austin Mahone has added even more dates to his summer tour. He’s coming to Georgia and Michigan in September! As usual, Mahomies.com members will have first access to tickets and VIP packages, starting on Tuesday June 24th.
If you’re seeing Austin on tour this summer, make sure you rehearse your dance moves! We’ve pretty much nailed the “Banga Banga” choreography. And pickup a copy of “The Secret” EP on iTunes so you can sing along!

This weekend marks the official start of summer, which means concert season is in full swing! And we’re seeing the Backstreet Boys on Sunday! It’s hard to believe BSB have been together for 21 years now, and after all this time they’re still going strong. And they’re one of the few bands that have never let us down over the years. We love that they brought back their original music video choreography for tour. In honor of the In a World Like This Tour, here are our five favorite BSB videos! (It was extremely hard to not make this a Friday Ten…)
1. “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)”
This is probably the most iconic boy band video of ALL TIME. Why are they monsters? Nobody knows. But seriously, you haven’t lived until you’ve seen Backstreet Boys perform “Everybody” live, with the entire crowd doing the choreography. And have you caught the ending of “This Is The End?” Apparently in heaven everyone knows the “Everybody” dance.
2. “Larger Than Life”
Budgets for music videos were much bigger in the 90s, like in this video when BSB went to outer space. AJ is also probably the only man on earth who can pull off a mesh cropped top. (He’s got the abs for it!) We’re still not sure why they always insist on keeping Nick so under wraps in these videos (first he’s a mummy, now a robot?)
3. “I Want It That Way”
The video has over 98 million views on YouTube for a reason. Another iconic boy band video, which has been spoofed by Blink-182 and paid homage to by Big Time Rush. We still get chills every time we hear Nick sing The Note. (You know the one). And that sad fangirl wave to Brian at the end? We totally know your pain.
4. “Quit Playing Games With My Heart”
Otherwise known as that video where it starts raining and they dance around and get their button down shirts and baggy pants soaking wet for no reason. Howie D just totally takes it off. Poor Brian had to keep his shirt buttoned because of his scar from heart surgery! We are full of important 90s trivia facts like this, which we probably learned from TRL, Making the Video or Popup Video.
5. “As Long As You Love Me”
The CHAIR DANCE! One of our fondest memories of middle school is when all the boys in our class blasted this song from their walkman, and attempted to recreate this chair dance during homeroom. The key word being attempted.
Bonus. “We’ve Got It Goin’ On” This might be the best song to dance to, ever. And their wardrobe is on point. Layered denim and leather? Check. This is also the song with the prayer dance.
Just do yourself a favor and head to the Backstreet Boys Vevo page and hit play all, it’s Friday. We’ll be rehearsing our choreography for Sunday’s show.
Phase V is truly a modern boy band, or as they call themselves an “urban-pop boy band.” We love that they are a boy band in the classic sense of the word: They sing, they dance, they sing while they dance – they’ve got it! (The right stuff.) Phase V’s brand new single, “Drop It” is out now and it’s everything you need in a summer jam. As fangirls of 90s boy bands, it’s safe to say that Phase V might be our new favorite artist to come out the recent 90s resurgence.
Be sure to pick up a copy of Phase V’s “Drop It” on iTunes and Amazon. Watch the official video below.
We hope these guys go on tour soon (and play in NYC) because we’re going to need to experience their smooth harmonies and sharp dance moves in person! They also did a cover of Justin Timberlake’s “Not a Bad Thing,” which we’ve always said would sound great with a 5-part harmony.
Calling all 90s fangirls! You’re going to want to tune into “FOX & Friends” this Friday morning, June 20th, because Boyz II Men are performing as part of their All American Summer Concert Series! Or if you’re in NYC, head over to the Fox News Channel Plaza, 1211 Avenue of the Americas, by 7AM to watch the show in person!
Boyz II Men will perform some of their classic hits, as well as songs off of their upcoming album, “Collide.” We’re hoping they do a little East Coast swag and play “Motown Philly” and of course, “End of the Road!” We saw Boyz II Men on The Package Tour with New Kids on the Block and 98 Degrees last summer, and after all this time they’ve still got the right stuff. (Yes we’re mixing boy band analogies. It’s our blog).
One of the five finalists in the iHeartRadio and Macy’s Rising Star Contest, Wild Party, just announced their debut album will be released on October 7th. You can pre-order the album on iTunes now and get a download of the single “When I Get Older!”

You can also listen to a new song called “Rejects” that’s not even on this album HERE! If it sounds like an outtake from All Time Low’s album “Dirty Work” that’s because 5SOS have been spending a lot of time with front man Alex Gaskarth writing songs and generally learning how to be punk rock grown ups.
Olivia’s music is super fun to dance to and definitely the perfect summer soundtrack. Her new single “Parachute” (co-written/produced by none other than Nick Jonas) is out now on iTunes and Amazon.
Come out to a Somerlover meet up and you’ll know why Olivia is the sweetest popstar to emerge in recent years!
We hope you’ve been voting for Olivia in the Macy’s and iHeartRadio Rising Star Contest — this is the final week to vote!
