Brian Litrell has confirmed that "Soldier Down" will be the first single from the group's upcoming album "This is Us" which drops October 6th.
Soldier Down will be sent to radio at the end of the month.

Each bomb of an album they keep releasing only serves to take away from what they were back in the day. Wish they'd have walked away like N SYNC did. Preserve the legacy guys! You gotta still have some money left. You can't be that hard up!

I would only consider Unbreakable a bomb, and that's because as a whole the album was awful and it just came out... I don't remember even seeing any promotion. I think EVERYTHING that's leaked from this era has been much better though, I'm glad the first single isn't a song we've heard already! I read this is produced by Red One so hopefully it's hot!

I wouldn't walk away from making millions either. Their tours still do well worldwide.

Yeah, they really still do relatively well for a 10+ year old boyband, especially worldwide. Just because their songs don't do well on US radio and their albums don't sell millions here doesn't mean they're not still making money and having some success.

If this is produced by RedOne, could it actually be, dare i say it, "Good"?

Last I heard from them was "Helpless When She Smiles" and that was meh.
N'Sync walked away because of Justin Timberlake's budding solo endeavours, both as a singer and a sex symbol. There isn't a Justin Timberlake in the Backstreet Boys. Nick Carter failed. So the Backstreet Boys came back together.

Why do people want them to break up? Thy've been together for 16 years and are still going strong. I've loved every single album they've made, especially the last one. I'm not sure about this direction, but I'm eager to hear the song.

Umm one top ten hit four years ago is not going strong. neither are the average reviews their last few albums have been getting and severely diminished sales with each past offering.

Yes, maybe their sales haven't been up to much recently, but the Unbreakable World Tour spanned 113 dates across the world, so although their sales aren't much they still have a pretty decent reputation as a touring act. Their Millennium Tour had 115 shows and that was probably at the peak of their popularity. The new tour already has 25 dates in Europe and the single hasn't even dropped yet!

Umm one top ten hit four years ago is not going strong. neither are the average reviews their last few albums have been getting and severely diminished sales with each past offering. "Going strong" means that they don't seem to hate eachother's guts, and seem quite content with themselves. That's quite an accomplishment for 16 years, I think. As for commercial success. Don't care. As long as they make music, and keep touring, I'm a happy camper. And as selfish as it seems, I'm quite happy they're not too popular, because they're much more accessible to the fans, the venues are much more intimate, and the tickets are cheaper. So... I'm a happy camper. :)

They still make tons touring though. If you were making millions doing something would you stop because a cd wasn't selling like it used to? I, personally, would continue making millions.

I really think the curiosity factor is largely what propelled "Incomplete" into the top 10. It's been only a few years since then, probably a little too soon for many of the people who grew up in the 90s to have a great deal of renewed interest. I won't make an exact prediction until I hear the song though.

It's not that great from the clip... I think I even like Masquerade more.

This is a huge no from me at the minute. Like, it could have been an ok album filler 10-12 years ago, but that is it.

this is a regular boyband song, nothing special. like someone said, it would be an okay album track for "millennium" - or earlier releases.

They need to realize, they are dated. People aren't interested in them anyone, their time has passed and they failed to launch their answer to JT so now they all have to settle as JC's.
