Backstreet Boys' 'Bottle Up' Climbs Adult Pop Airplay Chart, Tying Classic Hits
The Backstreet Boys have been a prominent presence on American radio for over 30 years. Despite not reaching the same level of success as before, the boy band remains one of the most successful all-male vocal groups in history. Their latest single, "Bottle Up," has climbed to No. 15 on the Adult Pop Airplay chart, marking a new peak for the track. This achievement ties it with other classic hits like "As Long as You Love Me" and "Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely."
Previously, "Bottle Up" was on par with "Chances," which peaked at No. 19 in 2019. The current success of the single surpasses the chart positions of "Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)" and "No Place," which peaked at No. 18. The Backstreet Boys' highest-charting songs on the Adult Pop Airplay chart are "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" at No. 9 and "I Want It That Way" at No. 11.
In addition to the Adult Pop Airplay chart, "Bottle Up" also maintains its position at No. 23 on the Adult Contemporary chart. Meanwhile, Baylee Littrell, the son of Backstreet Boys member Brian Littrell, has made his debut on the Pop Airplay chart with his single "So Be It." Baylee gained recognition after appearing on American Idol in 2025, where he impressed the judges with an original song and made it to the top 20 before being eliminated.
In conclusion, the Backstreet Boys continue to make waves on the music charts with their latest single, "Bottle Up," while Baylee Littrell follows in his father's footsteps with his own musical endeavors.
