Although best remembered as the youngest member of New Kids on the Block, singer Joey McIntyre also enjoyed modest success as a solo artist during the late '90s. Born in Needham, MA, on December 31, 1972, he was just 13 years old when he joined the New Kids in 1985. By the time McIntyre was old enough to obtain a driver's license, the boys had topped the pop charts with their second album, Hangin' Tough, and by 1991 they had also topped Forbes magazine's list of highest-paid entertainers. However, as their fickle teen audience aged, the New Kids quickly fell out of commercial favor, and after unsuccessfully attempting to modernize their sound with 1994's Face the Music (credited to NKOTB), the quintet disbanded.
