Backstreet Boys in Internet
| By 1997, pop music was returning to the forefront in United States with the likes of the Spice Girls and Hanson.<br />Jive Records and Pearlman decided to bring the boys back to their home country.<br />They began recording their second album in January 1997, Backstreet's Back, releasing Quit Playing Games With My Heart in June.<br />Coinciding with the release of their second international album, the band released a self-titled album in the US which collected songs from both international albums.<br />They hit big on the U.S.<br />charts and debuted at No .1 in Germany, Norway, Switzerland, Finland and Austria.<br />The two albums sold more than 2.8 million copies worldwide (1 million copies in the U.S.) In December 1997, the band embarked on a 60-city, 20-country tour.<br />In 1997, Littrell (soon joined by McLean, Richardson and Dorough) brought a lawsuit against Lou Pearlman, as he was taking an unusually high percentage of the profits made by the band (75 percent), leaving the Boys barely enough to survive after credits to writers and performers were given separately.<br />The lawsuit also claimed that Pearlman had hidden and misused money earned by the band and prompted similar lawsuits from other prominent boy bands such as 'N Sync.<br />The case was settled in 1998.<br />In 1998, Littrell underwent open-heart surgery in the middle of their sold-out US 39-city tour, at the insistence of his then girlfriend (and now wife) Leighanne Wallace; he had twice postponed the surgery in the past.<br />He had been struggling with a heart murmur since he was born, almost dying at the age of 4 due to a bacterial infection.<br />Shortly after, the Backstreet Boys cancelled an appearance in Minnesota after learning that Howie Dorough's sister had died of lupus.<br />In September 1998 the group began work on their next album.<br />In October 1998, the band received the keys to the city from the mayor of Orlando in honor of the tornado relief concert the group headlined in March that raised over $250,000.
