of brothers Jonathan and Jordan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie

worldwide. They won two American Music Awards in 1990 for Favorite

Pop/Rock Band, Duo, or Group and Favorite Pop/Rock Album. The group

disbanded in 1994, and publicly reunited in 2008.After secretly

reuniting in 2007 and recording a new record, the group released that

new album and embarked on a concert tour in 2008. The album, entitled

The Block, was released on September 2, 2008. New Kids on the Block

was listed as number 16 on Rolling Stone's Top 25 Teen Idol Breakout

Moments. The group was on tour with the Backstreet Boys in 2011â€"12

as NKOTBSB. This collaboration first performed live together on

November 21, 2010 at the American Music Awards on ABC and again on

2011 New Year's on ABC's Dick Clark/Ryan Seacrest show. The group

received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on October 9, 2014.In

the early 1980s, Maurice Starr discovered R&B/pop quintet New Edition,

and guided their early success. After breaking ties with them, Starr

and his business partner, Mary Alford, sought to create a white

counterpart act. Fifteen-year-old Donnie Wahlberg immediately

impressed Starr and Alford with his rapping skills, dancing ability

and showmanship, becoming the group's first member. Wahlberg assisted

in helping to recruit other members. Among them were his younger

brother Mark and his best friends Danny Wood and Jamie Kelly. He also

coaxed one-time schoolmate Jordan Knight - who sang an exceptional

falsetto - into auditioning for Starr as well. Upon Knight's passing

the audition, his older brother Jonathan was accepted into the group

as well.
