Every generation thinks it has the best boy bands. Mine just happened to be right. For this list, I’m covering groups active from 2000 to roughly 2013, ranking them on chart success, cultural footprint, and how well their music holds up when it comes on at a party. It’s subjective, but I stand by it. 5. Big Time Rush (BTR) BTR gets a lot of credit for pulling off something strange: A band that started as a Nickelodeon sitcom and turned into a real one. From 2009 to 2013, they released three albums, and “Boyfriend” and “Worldwide” still hit if you’re being honest with yourself. They rank last because their run was the shortest and their reach the smallest, but their 2021 comeback proved the fan base never left. 4. Jonas Brothers The Jonas Brothers were everywhere from 2006 to 2013. Between the purity rings, the Disney Channel takeover, and Camp Rock, you couldn’t escape them. “Burnin’ Up” and “Year 3000” are pure pop-rock comfort food.
