*NSYNC’s Bye Bye Bye Back On Top Of Charts After Deadpool & Wolverine? Here’s What We Know

by

As a lifestyle expert with a penchant for pop culture and music spanning over three decades, I find myself both amused and intrigued by the unexpected resurgence of *NSYNC. The Deadpool vs. Wolverine movie has undeniably stirred up a whirlwind of nostalgia that has catapulted Bye Bye Bye back onto the Billboard Hot 100, outperforming some of today’s top hits. It’s a fascinating reminder of how deeply intertwined music and movies can be in shaping our cultural landscape.

*It’s surprising to see that *NSYNC has returned to the music charts, coinciding with the popular Deadpool vs. Wolverine film in cinemas. The legendary boy band is seeing a resurgence of their hit single, Bye Bye Bye, on the Billboard Hot 100 after nearly 25 years since its debut. This comeback seems to have been fueled by Ryan Reynolds’ portrayal of Deadpool dancing to the 2000 hit in a memorable scene that sparked nostalgia among fans. As a result, the Deadpool Dance Challenge was created on platforms like TikTok and others.

1. Evidence of its lasting impact is shown by its return to the Billboard Hot 100 at position #42 for Aug. 17. What’s more, it surpassed recent hits such as Megan Thee Stallion’s Mamushi and Chappell Roan’s Red Wine Supernova. Impressively, on the Global chart (which does not consider U.S. data), Bye Bye Bye climbed 10 positions to reach No. 8.

In the early 2000s, “Bye Bye Bye” was a massive hit, first appearing on *NSYNC’s second studio album, “No Strings Attached.” At the time of its release, the album shattered records by selling an impressive 2.4 million copies in just its first week. This popular single reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in March 2000.

*NSYNC’s resurgence was heavily reliant on past successes, but their 2023 comeback single, “Better Place,” from the children’s movie Trolls Band Together, managed to perform decently on music charts. It reached number 25 and stayed on the chart for six weeks.

For both the band and their enthusiasts, it marked a significant milestone as they released their first new work in over twenty years.

The iconic music video for Bye Bye Bye was re-edited on the official *NSYNC YouTube page, now showcasing characters like Deadpool and Wolverine – a modern tribute that strongly connects the song to its recent use in a movie.

The impact of Deadpool vs. Wolverine on music doesn’t just affect bands like NSYNC; tracks from the movie are seeing a significant boost in popularity. As reported by Billboard, streams of Madonna’s Like a Prayer soared by 229%, and the Goo Goo Dolls’ Iris is still riding the wave of movie enthusiasm. This trend seems to mirror other recent chart resurgences, such as Kate Bush’s Running Up That Hill – A Deal With God, which made a comeback on charts last year, 37 years after its initial release, due to its inclusion in Stranger Things. Additionally, Brenda Lee’s Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 last December, nearly 65 years after it was first released.

The track “Paradise” from Justin Timberlake’s album Everything I Thought It Was, released in March 2024, solidified NSYNC’s comeback as a major force in music. After reuniting last fall, they debuted their first original song in over two decades, “Better Place,” on the soundtrack for Trolls: Band Together.

Reframing the idea: The unexpected resurgence of NSYNC underscores the enduring influence of nostalgia and pop culture on modern music. And as both long-time admirers and new fans appreciate these evergreen tunes, it’s clear that certain songs will remain etched in our memories forever.
