Fact check: Devin from LFO also passed away in late November
Hey MsMojo have you ever thought of creating playlist on Spotify and Apple Music of songs from your videos?
I feel like LMNT should have made the list 🤷🏻♀️
First: No 98 Degrees? No B4-4? Come on people!
North American’s should never ever put European artists on music ‘has been’ lists. Put a disclaimer at the beginning of these videos admitting bias about popularity of foreign bands being rated by USA chart success. This list is so out to lunch!
Where is A1?
Westlife is definitely not forgotten. Maybe for the North American audience, but they are massive in Europe and Asia. They're currently touring multiple sold out shows in Asia. And their tickets are on high demand.
Westlife are still going today.
they`re pretty forgotten in central europe.
Right??? Westlife have sold out concerts right now in Asia.
in my country which is in asia, Westlife had always been loved by many
Mexico hasnt forgotten either
This should be renamed forgotten boy bands in the states
So true.
Exactly!.
should just market this video in US only. since it's bias
Exactly!
Some of them aren't forgotten in the US either.
FYI westlife will never be forgotten, one of the biggest boyband in the world.
That title would go to The Backstreet Boys.
@@deanwinchester3356 Nah *NSYNC
He said 'one of'. Big difference than 'the'.
Why don't people understand that R&B and boy bands are two completely different kind of groups
SERIOUSLY, I was saying the same thing
Their boys, they're in the band, they sing, the criteria of a boy band, maybe the genre is a little different but the objective is the same
@@yell0wberry
You can probably group b2k in this. But r&b groups are not manufactured groups like boy bands.
@@samblasian5236 nsync wasn’t manufactured
@@samblasian5236 Ideal was one of those groups that was more R&B
Hell no! West life is definitely not forgotten
jessica okoba Nobody remembers Westlife except their fans. They never reached the same celebrity status (or sold) as much as Take That, Backstreet Boys or others. Just ask any random person on the street to name a few boy bands, nobody will say Westlife.
jessica okoba well I’m not a fan but I remember them...but yeah most people don’t remember them
LucienSabre sadly true
I am in no way a fan of West life but even I can’t deny that they are definitely not forgotten, I don’t think I’ve ever gone to the mall without hearing one of their songs.
jessica okoba I remember Flying Without Wings they did for Pokemon 2000!
Boyzone and Westlife definitely not forgotten. This one's missing 911
Boyzone, Westlife and Five are definitelly NOT forgotten
Boyzone? Westlife? 5ive? No, I don't forget them!
As a Brit I can tell you that Boyzone, Westlife and 5ive have not been forgotten here. National treasures the lot of them. They still sell out arenas.
Certainly agree.
Agreed
I'm from El Salvador, Central America, I'm almost 35 years old and I'm still listening Five and Westlife!!! 🤘🏽😁🤘🏽
Still very popular here in Asia plus A1 911 etc list just for US
@@ios332 Yep. 911 is a forgotten boy band, it deserves to be on the list for everyone to see.
CORRECTION:
Westlife had 7 consecutive UK # 1’s, a world record, and 14 overall which 3rd highest of any act in the UK. Elvis and the Beetles are the only acts to have more #1’s in the UK then Westlife.
Next was not a boy band. They were full grown men😂
🤦
Man band
They were still trash so apples and oranges. lol
They had some good songs
They r 2 Caucasians
This. List. Is. So. Wrong.
First and foremost, Boyzone AND Westlife WASN'T forgotten. Both bands just recently had concerts here in The Philippines.
Agreed
*Number 1:* The Boys Who Cry
_Tear ducts give me issue, I can't use any tissue. I mean 4 Ply, 4 Ply, 4 Ply, 4 Ply. When I cry. HOOOH!!!_
ITS ALL ABOUT YOU PEARL, ON YOUR 16 BIRTHDAY!!!
These comments...these right here are the only reason I read the comment section. I applaud you.
It’s “I NEED 4 Ply”, not “I mean”
Rejected Boys II Men lol
CartoonFan 18 PAY ATTENTION TO YOU GIRL, EVERYONE HAS DO WHAT YOU SAY
I was here for Dreamstreet....apparently I am in the wrong place.
LoL 😆 yes. With Jesse McCartney 😩
Richard Palombo I liked a few of their songs like It Happens Every Time And They Don’t Understand
@@manuelorozco7760 I liked it happens everytime, with all my heart and I miss you.
Richard Palombo ME TOOOOOOO
Same here
Jagged edge? Honorable mention or not they will never be forgotten lmao. Maybe Dreamstreet or something but not jagged edge lol
Oh no! I disagree that Boyzone and Westlife are part of the forgotten boybands
They're weren't popular in the US.
I still remember 5ive's "Slam Dunk the Funk" from an old cassette tape we had.
Wasn’t the song featured in the Disney movie smart house?
Luvbug 123 yes
DreamDragoness25 love Disney concerts like five and Cleopatra. my childhood.
I still have their cassettes
I still have their CDs. 5ive had some good songs. I still listen to "Now and Forever" every so often.
“Faded” and “Too Close” were those bops!!!
10:44 the other LFO band member (Devin Lima) also died from cancer in 2018. Which is why they stopped performing in 2018. So only 1 of the band members is still alive.
May they Rest in Paradise.
What, so they only had 3 members?
@@saiyongdawn7756 yeah. The most tragic that happened to a boyband at present.
@@altacct_3614 Tragic but can the remaining group hire new members like other performing groups have in the past?
@@saiyongdawn7756 yeah, they can always hire but i doubt they wouldn't be successful anymore cuz only few people know about LFO. The only left guy better do a solo career
@@altacct_3614 Solo if he chose to. He's probably into other things now like raising a family. Idk.
WWWOOOOIIIIII...!!! Westlife is Not Fogotten....!!!!!!!! How dare you say that..!
Who could forget about 5ive!? I still listen to them!
Me too! They were basically the wallpaper in my bedroom for most of high school lol
Every time I turn the lights out I think about them lol
@@kjcook5840 same, i was crazy in love with Jay
@@hyacinthbucket5062 I was all about Scott, looking back at his spiked hair now makes me giggle a bit though 😅
@@hyacinthbucket5062 cool name btw, I assume it's pronounced 'Bouquet'? 😁
I definitely haven’t forgotten Color Me Badd, Next, All-4-One, or Jagged Edge. But it’s sad what happened to LFO: Rich *and* Devin died (the latter last year). 😥
JP Mackey LFO forever!!!!!
RIP to them both. 😢
I love LFO.....Most fav Girl on TV
My favorite is West Side Story.
98 degrees is so obscure that didn't even make the list?
That's a low blow watchmojo :P
jjajajajja
i was just about to say that. they shouldve made the list over NEXT cause at least those Next songs are still being played
IDIOTS.
98 degrees deserve not to be in this list. Even westlife and Boyzone.
They should replace by A1 and The wanted or one direction or Plus 1 or the mofatz.
@@chocolatekiss387 Why the hate?? Relax bro
@@djjpogi Exactly.. NEXT songs are pretty nice.. I remember they played a lot back in the 90's :)
In Europe no one can forget about Westlife, no one! They are still huge..
In Asia too!
Westlife is only huge Europe'S scotland, Ireland, United Kingdom. In Asia only Malaysia and Philippines, they are not that huge. Stop exaggerating.
@@draculwarmz96 actually they are huge in Scandinavia. Germany too. Eastern Europe too.
@@Denis-89 I don't think so their Europe concerts is always limited to England, Scotland, Ireland and in the past in those places they didn't have that many fans. I would say One direction and BTS are far more popular than west life in all of Europe.
Dracul warmz do your homework kid. Are you sure only Malaysia and Philippines in Asia? Hahahaha you making me funny. So idiot. They are huge and I must say all over the world except with that fuckin’ US
Nobody in Ireland has forgotten Boyzone. You could have mentioned Stephens untimely death. As for Westlife? Who has forgotten them?
whaw i didn't knew he died, so sad
Yeah. Almost 10 years ago, of fluid in the lungs
@@lmamd87 And like when they forced him to come out, the Sun tried to make a big deal of it by hinting it wasn't as natural as was claimed because of the circumstances.
Apparently if they’re not American they’re long gone.
Shell Reilly I remember a journalist suggested it was more sinister circumstances because he was with his husband and they’re gay, so yeah. Sinister!!! What an idiot.
Jagged Edge is a classic rnb group, just like boyz to men. Don’t group them in this
Exactly!
That's what I said. I'm like "Is this woman crazy?" And she also grouped Next. Like, seriously?
Jagged who? Edge what?
so is NEXT I don't count them as a boy band
I'm sorry but JE ain't got shit on BIIM.
Backstreet Boys are the only boy band still together after forming 26 years ago.
*cough,cough* westlife *cough,cough*
@@katie_the_evertonian1878 Didn’t they breaks up back in 2012?
@@choloyolo8522 Yeah but got back together in 2018.
Westlife too
Even Next
given that westlife currently performs worldwide sold-out stadion shows they are not forgotten... unless the mojo-list only covers the u.s. migtht also be worth mentioning that westlife had a very succesfull comeback late 2018 and girls/women still screams their lungs out, and boyzone also not forgotten... I still feel for their loss when a member just after the comeback died on vacation... maybe more research before publicating weird unrelevant lists
Super agree with you on "more research" called them out on it too
I know
Boyzone
Westlife
All 4 One
LFO
Blue
Five
I love them all!
i Milkyshake cromo
I didn't forget O-town lol.
same lol
neither did I
Same
Miriam I. Sucks for you
I didn’t either. I went to their concert last year at the Troubadour; they still got it 😊
I'm sorry but Westlife shouldn't be here on the list
Westlife never reached mainstream success in the US, so it's no surprise you guys "forgot" about them
Elsewhere in the world they are more remembered than N'Sync or Backstreet Boys
I agree. Westlife is actually much much bigger in Asia than N'Sync
Totally agree!!!
@@louannyoung17 well at least NSYNC sold more records
They never achieved much success in the USA, but I did remember that they had one song that I heard called "Swear it again" on the radio
Ya’ll are out of y’all minds.....”Next” & “Jagged Edge” should NOT be on this list SMDH 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
I hope Big Time Rush won't be forgotton
Waheed Abdullah how can they with the tv show
@@jameshowe8688 That was a couple years ago, and they stopped airing it on Nick, and not everybody has TeenNick on their TV
Who dat?
Waheed Abdullah Who?
They are just for Nickelodeon
You forgot to mention that Stephen Gately from Boyzone died suddenly about 10 years ago...bit of an oversight
Lisa Greenhill,I came here to say this. Such a shock. My daughter was young and adored him. I still remember having to break the news to her. Such a tragedy.
They also failed to mention another LFO member passed away in November
Thats what i was thinking
Lisa Greenhill true.... I was so sad..... I am a fan till today
Lisa Greenhill rip
Ain’t nobody forgot about these bands. But y’all really did forget about 2Gether!!! 😩😩😩
I remember 2gether. Isn't there one member that passed away?
NEXT was not a boy band. They were a regular R&B singing group, who made love making and Quite Storm music. They were respected in the same aspect of Jodeci, Dru Hill, LSG,Jagged Edge (who also is not a boy band)etc. They are still heavily respected within the African American community.
As a self proclaimed "boy band aficionado", I do, in fact, remember every single one of these groups.
Westlife was also very successful in Latin America. I believe they were very different from what BSB and NSync had to offer back then. I do enjoy several of their singles
Yeah for some reason they never got much play in the USA. I didn't hear of them until I saw Brian McFadden with Australia's Got Talent and then didn't really go and check them out because I felt that he was a giant douche.
the fact is, Westlife was never big in the US.. so the list is inaccurate to put Westlife on this "forgotten" list
If they want to add Westlife, WatchMojo should also add N'Sync and Backstreet Boys
And also in Asia and Europe. It's a shame that they put Westlife on this list just because North American audience only know Westlife by swear it again.
@@adamcolebaybay6566 nicely said.. I'm tired of US reviewers made comments like the world is made of Americans only
@@leedongwok86 so true, just like when I see list of 100 best boyband song in BB. Only few UK and Irish boyband there and the biggest insult is putting kpop boyband but ignore boyzone and Westlife.
Who out here forgetting boyzone and westlife ? Boyzone currently doing a farewell tour. That song my love just pure memories
Westlife are actually back, Ed Sheeran wrote them 6 songs and 3 are released as śingles.
NO ONE FORGOT COLOR ME BADD!!!!
they are the epitome of the diverse/urban boy band.
How about 911 is the British boy band trio in the mid-90's w/ their hits "Love Sensation", "The Day We Find Love" and "All I Want Is You"?
I really know 911..
Liked them and code red
True boyband fans remember all of them😜
And btw this is an American list. ....... westlife is still popular in Europe and Asia 😜
Msmojo once again you failed 😜😂
Forgotten? Oh, Ms Mojo you underestimate my 90’s baby powers.
Every boy band is indeed the best for their fans❤️
Boyzone and Westlife are not forgotten...they are legends...
We will never forgot Boyzone, people... Never!!! 😍😍😍😍😍
How about celebs you forgot were even IN bands? Either in school or otherwise.
Like Marky Mark. Every time I mention it to someone they lose their minds.
@@claresimm5880 Jake Gyllenhaal was in a boy band called Holeshot.
Jared Leto Thirty Seconds to Mars
@Nicole Collins eh, I don't think anyone forgot about Jared Leto being in a band. It's mostly just him now.
@@claresimm5880yeah, Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, saw them in concert in 1991
Whoever forgets N'sync and backstreetboys they make poor life choices
Edit: for ppl who don't agree with me this I just in my opinion.also thanx for da likes xx
random person when? They’re married and rich and BSB made several comebacks.
Nobody forgot about them.
Clearly you didn’t get the title “Forgotten Boy Band”...
@@alyssawilson8781 I meant if they do
@@albertovelasquez4914 yes I did get the title I meant whoever does
Dream Street should have AT LEAST been an honorable mention considering they were more known than some of the boybands on this countdown and spawned Jesse McCartney who was a big Disney star at one point.
I knew who BB Mak was thanks to Disney channel. Loved "Back Here." when I was younger.
BBMak was a forgotten band in Australia.
I’ll never forget O-Town!!!
O town. I could never forget that song all or nothing. Such a classic making the band record.
I love that song too
Neh-Bih Sangbong I’ve still got it on my playlist
Neh-Bih Sangbong Used to hear it on Radio Disney
Bbmak was my childhood 😩
i haven't forgotten any of these lmao, boy bands are my not so guilty pleasure
also oh it's kinda crazy and faded by souldecision STILL SLAPS
Boyzone, Westlife and Five were the examples on this list that I seem to have not forgotten about... probably because I at least got radio exposure to them.
Nichole The Otter Oh yeah no, they definitely should not be on this list cause they are far from forgotten. I always hear all of them on the radio like no way are they forgotten
RIP Stephen Gately (Boyzone) 1976-2009
He was favourite Boyzone members, it so sad that we would never hear "No matter what." again because his now dead.
I LOVE 5ive. Thier 1st album is still part of my CD collection.
Yes I still have a CD collection.
Hey I still have the CD too. My friends and I would memorize all their dance moves too. Lol
Omg!! I just went to the Pop 2000 tour and O Town, Aaron Carter, Ryan Carbera, and Lance Bass were there!! It was so awesome!!! Lol!!
sonali perera yesss
5ive?! This should be criminal!! They had a Disney Concert & we knew all about them in the states!!
How could I forget Boyzone and Westlife...they’re two of my my all time favourite boy bands xxx
I’m a huge fan of both and have seen them many times in concerts over the years xxx
Boy Band connoisseur here and I can tell you that I've forgotten none of these. Even though some of these were more popular overseas (Westlife, Boyzone, BB Mak, etc.), they weren't unheard of in the USA. Hell, I even had a friend in Scotland bring me a Westlife CD when she visited the USA and I LOVED it! You should've played "Swear It Again" since that's the song most US fans would remember.
Next, Jagged Edge, (and arguably All-4-One) is more of an R&B group than a stereotypical pop boyband. I'd put them in the same category as Boyz II Men, New Edition, Az Yet, Silk, etc., which most don't consider boybands.
5ive, Westlife, Boyzone, Blue... Such a great groups!
Can you do a list of groups with both guys & girls; like No Doubt, S Club 7, Steps, A-Teens, Ace of Base, Roxette, Black Eyes Peas, ATC, ABBA, etcetera?
The fugees
Macey Harper yes the Saturday’s too (they’re from 2007-2014 though )
I loved S Club 7 remember their show ?
@@tiffprendergast The Saturdays are a girl group?
Ace Of Base Happy Nation is still my all time favourite album.
Westlife is big here in Philippines. When I was young, I actually thought that they are actually bigger than Nsync. I grow up with Westlife soundtracks. Memorize all lyrics in their early releases.
same in Belgium they were super popular
bro im a filipino so I relate a lot
Pinoy dito Westlife where popular here in Asia and Europe
Westlife has never been forgotten.. Their songs played in every radio station everyday here in the Philippines 🇵🇭 they are better and popular than any boyband next to Backstreetboys and N'Sync.. Sold out tickets in Asia especially here 🇵🇭
No they aren't
Australian here, I still listen to Five and Westlife in 2023, I was literally just listening to Five in the car hence why I looked up boy bands on RUclips lol
Boyzone and Westlife should not be on this list. They just had a successful tour last month here in Asia. Is that your definition of forgotten?? You need a better researcher, MsMojo!
I was thinking Dreamstreet or even B2K.
Anyway you could mention that LFO broke up again around the time another member (Devin Lima) passed away.
I was wondering why they didn't mention Devin passing. It was just last year :(
DREAMSTREET ❤️
I don't think Westlife and boyzone deserved in this list, people still remember them now. I think it's more suitable if u put 911 or A1 in that list!!!
Not big in the US
@@shelliann1 but big in UK and Europe.
I love 911, but yes they deserve to be in the list rather than BZ and Westlife. 5ive makes sense too since they were invited to participate in ITV's The Big Reunion
@@louannyoung17 agree, 911 is so 90s and sadly people start forget they were exist.
As a HUGE boy band lover for 30+ years, love almost all of them and most are not forgotten by their fans. Very good list MsMojo.
I will never forget next or jagged edge
Do your research MsMojo. Devin Lima of LFO died in 2018. They lost two members, not just one.
Omg. I did not know Devin passed. Wow. That's just heartbreaking. 😢
Also said that 6 of the members of o town reunited. They don't have 6 members, they had 5. 4 of them reunited, not 6
I still listen to some of these boy bands to this day. I have their songs on my playlist 😊
Forgotten i don't think so.
I am 90s i don't forget
Boyzone
Backstreet boys
Westlife
A1
Trademark
C21
Otown
Plus one
Boys 2 men
Azyet
Nsync
Mofatts
Blues
Savage garden
98 degrees
All for one
Chilhood 90s never forget
Forgotten by the masses, but I've never forgotten any of these groups!
Westlife will never be forgotten in my heart
Might be different on your side of the pond but nobody in UK has forgotten boyzone, blue, 5ive, westlife. Some of these are still played on the radio & still haunt wedding receptions! 😂
How about a1
@@regiongayoso3174 they are doing an anniversary gig in November, so clearly still remembered for some fans 😂
It's funny my daughter who is 27 and I were talking about Soul Decision a few days ago. They really were a big thing in Canada and a lot of people loved their music. 😊😊
90s pop will never die. I won’t let it.
How about Top 10 All-Girl Bands?
Sam they should update the list that includes little mix and even fifth harmony.
Jem and the Holograms
All 4 one and 5ive were big parts of my childhood and still listen to it today. Great list i remember most of them.
What?????
My most listed playlist of 2018 was FIVE, I love him so much💖
I remember a forgotten boy band. Dream Street.
Does anyone else remember Ashley Angel from O-Town on Clone High in 2002?
he was also in the broadway show wicked !!
Yes! I was just thinking of that....
You took me back to my teens years.
Awesome list. I remember a lot of songs from each of the bands. LFO definitely one of my classic faves. RIP to Richie and Devin.
Jagged Edge!!!! Wow that's memories, their songs we're always played on the radio
I loved BBMak and still have their 2 cds!
Me, too!
I will never ever forget Westlife. Even my parents still play their CDs. We usually sing it in karaoke. When they went on a tour here in the Philippines last July 2019, our whole family attended it. Westlife is like one of the few things we like together
Cant believe u didn’t mentioned Boyzone’s Stephan Gatling passing away. Its worth mentioning
I know how could she forget that? It was definitely worth a mention
Maybe it's because I live in England but Boyzone, Westlife, and 5ive are definitely not forgotten! I liked 5ive, Another Level and Blue because they had more dance-y music than Westlife.
O-Town are my favourites from this list: watched the show from the beginning, so was v excited when they finally released an album.
Wessie P I saw Boyzone in January and they are still awesome!!!
I AIN´T FORGOTTEN ANY OF THESE BANDS
Starting Boyzone I think that's my era that I love 💗 90's baby pump up the jam 😉💗
I am assuming that you are talking about forgotten in the US? Because Boyzone and ESPECIALLY Westlife are NOT forgotten in the UK!
You missed out the British/Norwegian boyband A1 again - not cool
It's one on one, that's the way we do it baby!!!
@@LadyKattrina84 That's the way we doooooo it
Love A1 - they're still doing shows in Norway, going in september!
I was a huge fan of them back in the day, saw them in concert once and had posters of them all over my room, lol. I had such a crush on Ben!
i definitely forgot A1! I love their songs though thanks for mentioning
Ain't nobody forgot about Jagged Edge
The nostalgia is HUGE! Absolutely all of these bands followed the same formula and to this day it amazes me how so many got to be so successful at least for a short period of time when ultimately they were all the same, very little difference between each band.
Westlife life fans are yelling.. even me..
THEY ARE NOT FORGOTTEN.. hehe
LOVE THEM!!
