Nick Carter | Help Me (2002)
07 January 2008 // 12:59 PM
When the Backstreet Boys decided to take a short hiatus in 2001 the most popular member of the band, Nick, was ready to strike out on his own. Jive Records sent him into the studio to cut a solo record. Branding him a young Bryan Adams, Jive was confident that Nick could stand on his own without the other Backstreet Boys by his side.
His debut solo single, "Help Me," was released mid-2002 to mixed reviews. The Bryan Adams influence was definately there, in both sound an image. The track proved to be mildly popular with the video receiving heavy rotation in the US and Australia. Charts don't lie, however, and neither the single or album were performing up to par. Jive quickly rushed out another two singles (each released in different markets) and gave up on the album. *NSYNC member Justin Timberlake would soon be embarking on his own solo career and Jive changed their focus.
Nick soon went back into the studio to record with the Backstreet Boys and also record a follow-up which has never seen the light of day.

Aaron Carter | Saturday Night (2005)
19 December 2007 // 1:53 PM
"Saturday Night" is a single released in 2005 by Backstreet Boy Nick Carter's brother Aaron in 2005. After a sleu of albums successful with the tween crowd, Aaron tried to drift into a bigger demographic. He signed to Trans Continental Records and recorded an albums worth of tracks that never materialised.
The single was a huge flop and went by unnoticed. Shortly after its release, Aaron sued Trans Continental and manager Lou Pearlman to be released from his contract. Since he was underage at the time of signing the contract he was granted release and the album was never released.
