From culture - to pop-culture. The Backstreet Boys played their first Hong Kong concert, at the Asia World-Expo, last Friday. The show, part of the American pop quartet's Unbreakable World Tour 2008, follows the release of the group's sixth album, "Unbreakable" last October.

The Backstreet Boys played their first Hong Kong concert,  at the Asia World-Expo, last Friday.

It's the group's first concert in Hong Kong. The band has been away from the limelight for a long time, but it never officially broke up.

AJ Mclean, member of Backstreet Boys, said, "A lot of people in between "Black And Blue" and " Never Gone" thought we've broken up, thought we were done and we never really broke up, we've just taken a break, we had toured for nine years straight. And we had not taken a break, we probably going cuckoo, and probably wouldn't be here right now."

The group's first two albums, Backstreet Boys and Millennium, released in 1997 and 1999, sold more than 10 million copies each and topped the charts in 25 countries. To date the Backstreet Boys have released 6 studio albums which sold over 75 million copies worldwide.
