Backstreet Boys Say They 'Did Not Expect' Grammy Nomination

The Backstreet Boys flash a smile together while posing backstage at The Elvis Duran Z100 Morning Show held at Z100 Studio on Monday (January 28) in New York City.

The guys – Brian Littrell, Kevin Richardson, Nick Carter, Howie Dorough and A.J. McLean – sat down with host Elvis to promote their brand new album DNA, which was released on Friday.

That same morning, the Backstreet Boys stopped by Live with Kelly and Ryan and talked about their first impressions of each other when they formed the band 26 years ago, going back on tour, and their Grammy nomination for Best Pop Duo/Group for “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” – their first nomination since “Shape of My Heart” at the 2002 ceremony.

“Didn’t expect it all,” the guys said. “Our 8th nomination, blessed!”
