Backstreet Boys Kick Off the Holiday Season with a new Christmas Song

The Backstreet Boys decided that it’s never too early for catchy Christmas tunes, and have put out a new holiday track, “It’s Christmas Time Again.” A teaser of the song was released on their official site on November 1st. The full track was released on AOL Music on the 5th and is now available on iTunes. Click through to the full post to hear their new song.
The song has already broken the top 100 downloads in iTunes, and will likely continue to climb up the charts as the holiday season progresses. It’s Christmas Time Again will also appear on ABC on Christmas morning during Disney’s Christmas Parade. BSB recorded a performance of the new song in front of a lucky live audience last weekend.
The infectious tune is the first by the band in over six years to feature vocals by Kevin Richards. Richards’ full-time return to the band was announced in April of 2012. The band began recording a new album in July of 2012. And, in case you don’t feel old, next year the band celebrates their 20th anniversary.
Nick Carter told AOL Music, “There aren't that many original holiday songs out there -- which is so crazy to say -- and we really feel we made a timeless contribution to the season and a song our kids’ kids will be listening to. Plus, we have our boy Kevin back in the studio with us. This is a really exciting time.”
