In this episode, Mary and Kelsey celebrate the anniversary of Backstreet Boys’ 2007 album Unbreakable. This track-by-track listening party celebrates one of the Boys’ most underrated eras: post–boy band frenzy, pre–Sphere/Millennium 2.0 TikTok dominance. From the soaring harmonies of “Inconsolable” to the criminally underrated pop banger “Something That I Already Know,” this episode revisits every beat, bridge, and beautiful BSB harmony that made Unbreakable such a confident comeback in their first album sans Kevin Richardson.

Brian, Nick, Kevin, Howie and AJ have heard our cries and they are making our fan dreams come true: the Backstreet Boys are summoning fans to create their dream setlist…and they are actually going to perform it at their upcoming fan event in Cancun this spring! For their “30 for 30” concert, the boys are asking fans to vote on their top 30 songs they want to see performed that weekend in celebration of their 30th anniversary. The list of available songs includes some oldies, b-sides and even the elusive “I Want It That Way (No Goodbyes)” version with alternative lyrics that actually make sense. In this episode, Mary and Kelsey each selected their top 10 songs they *must* hear and made their case for each track, and it’s filled with deep cuts and hilarious banter.
