DNA earned a Grammy nomination in the category for best pop duo/group performance (“Don’t Go Breaking My Heart”), and it marked BSB’s 10th top 10 album in the U.S.

Across their 29-year career, the quintet has shifted some 130 million records, according to BMG, which signed the BSB back in 2013.

BSB blasts past its prior No. 54 Artist 100 high, with the major caveat being that the chart launched in July 2014, well after the act’s late-’90s and early 2000s domination on multiple surveys.

The Artist 100 measures artist activity across key metrics of music consumption, blending album and track sales, radio airplay, streaming and social media fan interaction to provide a weekly multi-dimensional ranking of artist popularity.

Backstreet Boys concurrently earn their third entry on the Adult Pop Songsradio airplay chart from DNA, as “No Place” bows at No. 37. It follows “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart,” which became their first top 10 on the tally, reaching No. 9, in September, and “Chances” (No. 19, January).
