It was pure nostalgia and pop perfection on The Ellen Show as the Backstreet Boys took the stage for a high-energy performance of their hit single “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart.” Introduced by Ellen DeGeneres as one of the best-selling boy bands of all time — with over 130 million albums sold throughout their 25-year career — the group reminded everyone why their music still stands the test of time.

From the first beat at, the crowd erupted in cheers as Nick, AJ, Howie, Brian, and Kevin delivered their signature harmonies and sleek choreography, proving they’ve still got the moves that defined a generation. The audience sang and danced along, swept up in the band’s infectious energy and polished stage presence.

As the applause thundered at the end of the performance, Ellen returned to the stage to announce a special surprise: the Backstreet Boys’ new album would officially drop on January 25, and every audience member would receive a free copy. The moment turned the studio into a celebration — a joyful reminder that, even after decades, the Backstreet Boys continue to capture hearts around the world.
