I want it that way! God, that was a good song. Wasn’t it? But this seems a little…old. Old as the hills! One of them has even dropped out he’s so old. The Backstreet Boys will be releasing a new disc in October. You know you want it.

After an extended break and the loss of original member Kevin Richardson, the Backstreet Boys will return Oct. 30 with their next, as-yet-untitled studio album for Jive Records. The first single, the piano-heavy rock ballad “Inconsolable,” will hit U.S. radio outlets Aug. 27.

Richardson, who exited in June 2006, was not replaced in Backstreet Boys, which also features Nick Carter, Brian Littrell, Howie Dorough and AJ McLean. The group is celebrating its 10th anniversary on Jive this year.

Isn’t Jive Britney’s label? Maybe she can open for them. They had their own problems. One’s a Christian artist in his spare time, one’s old and gone, one’s a drunk, one comes from a meth family, and one’s gayer than me. Damn, Britney would be perfect. She has at least three of those issues.
