JC Chasez

After the band had its series of legal struggles with manager Lou Pearlman, they signed with Jive Records. They released their second studio album No Strings Attached in 2000, which became the fastest selling album of all time selling 2.4 million copies in the first week alone, making it the most albums sold in one week, and had the #1 hit single "It's Gonna Be Me". Other singles from the No Strings Attached Album included Bye Bye Bye, This I Promise You, and I'll Never Stop. The band went on to produce their third studio album, Celebrity in 2001, which sold 1.8 million copies in the first week.

After the group's Celebrity Tour in 2002, the band decided to take a hiatus. During this time, Chasez produced his own album, Schizophrenic. They never officially disbanded, but since 2004, they have never reunited for any musical purposes, and there have been mixed reactions as far as whether the reunion would happen. So far, JC has been the most neutral about it, saying that "it's just not in the cards right now". Chris Kirkpatrick remarked in August 2008, and again in 2009, that the five remain friends, and he believed a reunion was possible. In September 2008, Lance Bass also made conciliatory comments. In recent years, Timberlake has been reluctant to talk about it and has avoided questions about a reunion and the band in general during interviews. Read Less
