Selling over 60 million albums worldwide and winning every award from Grammy's to American Music Awards across the globe, Nathan Morris, Wanya Morris, and Shawn Stockman of Boyz II Men, have broken numerous records in their 20 years, making them one of the biggest pop groups of all time. Cited as influences to some of the most successful artists of all time, from N*SYNC to Beyonce, Usher to Justin Beiber , the group still holds the number one ( One Sweet Day ft. Mariah Carey ), three (I'll Make Love To You) and fourth (End Of The Road) spot for most consecutive #1 records on top of the Billboard Hot 100. The group stands in the company of Elvis Presley, The Beatles and Mariah Carey as the only artists to have stayed so long on top of the music charts.
More recently, the group added to their mark on pop culture, by leaving their indelible mark on some of Motown's most timeless hits. Boyz II Men earned rave reviews with their 2007 Decca label debut, Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville USA (Decca/Universal). The record earned them two Grammy nominations for their rendition of classic Detroit soul Motown hits. The group then followed up with another timeless album in 2009, named Love covering songs made famous by Bonnie Raitt, Journey, Sam Cooke, Cyndi Lauper and The Beatles.
Twenty finds Boyz II Men twenty years later, fulfilling their dreams with a worldwide following, millions of records sold, countless amounts of awards across the globe and a new album ready to move the Boyz to their next chapter.
