It’s a big week for former boy banders in Search. The rise of two such ‘N Sync alumni took Search by storm, but what spurred the Buzz to return to the glory days of bubblegum pop?
Buzz on ‘N Sync’s breakout star Justin Timberlake has been hot since he ventured into the wilds of a solo career. High-profile relationships and hit records will do that for a guy. Searches on JT are up 141% this week, and he’s back in our music top five. Why? Look no further than queries on “justin timberlake new song” and “justin timberlake new video.” He’s got a new tune appropriately titled “Sexy Back,” and buzz on the song is blowin’ up. It’s currently the top song in Search, up another 71% yesterday—with related searches on “sexy back lyrics” and “sexy back video” also sizzling.
And in a story that’s been percolating in Buzz for a couple of weeks, ‘N Sync’s lovable Lance Bass came out of the closet. His admission didn’t shock fans, but his courage in coming out spurred a Search flurry. Queries on Bass leapt an astonishing 21,000%, and searches on “lance bass gay,” “nsync lance,” and “nsync lyrics” all soared.
The dynamic duo even served to lift searches on the three laggards from ‘N Sync. Buzz on JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick awoke from years of hibernation. What will rock the pop world next? Stay tuned to the Buzz…
