Backstreet Boys (1997 album)

Backstreet Boys is the first compilation album released by the vocal-pop group Backstreet Boys in the United States. The release of this album coincided with the release of their second international album Backstreet's Back (1997). Their international debut album released in 1996 was also titled Backstreet Boys (1996), but it was not released in the United States. The 1997 self-titled album became one of the most successful debut albums of all time. It peaked at number four on the Billboard 200 albums chart and has been certified 14× Platinum (Diamond) by the RIAA for sales to retailers, having sold over 14 million copies to date in the United States. This was also reported as the second highest seller in the past 14 years for Music Club sales back in 2003, selling 1.72 million units.
The compilation album is a collection of tracks from Backstreet Boys' first and second international albums, Backstreet Boys (1996) and Backstreet's Back (1997), respectively. Since the album and Backstreet's Back were released at the same time, both albums share the same cover, only with different titles.
