For anyone in the US wondering why the boys new single hasn’t been played yet is because the impact date for the song to radio is August 17. That means that’s when the single is officially released to radio. That does not mean radio stations won’t play it now. Some do play songs early. Although some stations may not have the ok yet to play it. So do not call every hour bugging the DJs to play it if they say they can’t play it yet then they can’t. But do listen to make sure cause in the upcoming weeks they may start playing it.

With the release of their new single “Straight Through My Heart” and the excitement that coursed through the Newsroom when it all happened, it seems that, at least among a few of us MTV News staffers, there is some excitement for the new Backstreet Boys album, This is Us, which is due out on October 6.
For the album, the guys worked with producer RedOne on the single and hooked up with longtime collaborator and pop mastermind Max Martin. They also worked with T-Pain, and Brian Littrell talked to MTV News about working with the rapper (much) earlier this year.
“T-Pain is the hottest thing since sliced bread,” he said, adding that the album is “BSB doing what we did when we started together, when we made a name for ourselves we were a vocal group. There are no boy bands left other than us and we’re going back to the vocals. We’re going to showcase how well we can sing.”

Backstreet Boys are very proud to announce the release of their new album, This Is Us. Set for an October 6(th) release on Jive Records, This Is Us is the seventh studio album from this groundbreaking and chart topping group that redefined the modern musical landscape, ushering in a chapter of pop culture that commandeered the world’s radio airwaves, broke music and concert sales records, and launched a new generation of teen idols. Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell and AJ McLean collaborated with a powerhouse suite of producers and songwriters on This Is Us that included T-Pain, Max Martin, RedOne, Soulshock and Karlin, Jim Jonsin and Claude Kelly. The end result is an indelible and finely crafted R&B and pop album from four talented musicians who love what they do and who maintain the rare relevance in an industry that often disposes of pop acts.
