I abhored this band when they first came out and I was the only chick I knew who hated them.Still cannot believe how popular they were and apparently still are.
1I didn't buy it but I have tickets next month!
2Lalala Tonight.Oh i used to love them.
3speaking of naff
4Wow, Boy band are back!
5No. 2? WTH? LOL, OMG! I
6I am with ya seras. I was to young to remember them but I know they're no N'Sync. I am surprised.
7Uh, don't know what happened there.
I meant...
No. 2? WTH? LOL, OMG! I ♥ NKOTB!
While I'm not as crazy a fan this time around, I'm really happy for them.
8Yah Woop I agree- Im shocked it did that well but I'm definitely happy about it. More actual singing would be nice on the radio rather than, I'm sorry, whats your name, Jeezy? Really?
9I bought it and I love it!
10Woop
11I am not surprised in the least, I think most girls who liked them before still like them (even if its in private lol). I didn't buy the album but their new song is good and there old stuff is classic
12I am an awful diehard fan.
I don't have concert tickets nor this album in my greasy little
hands. 
13Thanks, Jenna!
Brian, yes more singing. BTW, does it show my age if I wonder, "Who's Jeezy?"
14OMG THEY SUCK.
15They should have left their name untarnished. They were awesome IN THIER DAY
That doesnt show your age at all! I'm the age that apparently likes this crap! I honestly was saying that about half of the terrible bands that were on the VMA's! Who is that? or What song do they sing? I honestly have no idea who Jeezy or his brother Sheezy or his mom Wheezy is but apparently the kids like em.
16Brian, Wheezy from The Jeffersons? I know Wheezy, fo sheezy.
17"I honestly have no idea who Jeezy or his brother Sheezy or his mom Wheezy is but apparently the kids like em."
18haha - I know Wheezy but I just wanted to say that!
19You guys are crazy! I wasn't a fan of NKTB the first time around...I like Summertime though. I just don't do the fan thing. Did someone say N'SYNC??? Where? Where! ...Quit playing!...games with my heart...heehee hee.
20I'm not grown enough for Young Jeezy; too thug for my taste.
Oh Brian. Did you really just use Jeezy, Wheezy and Sheezy in one sentence? Dude, I'm worried about you!
21I am surprised it only got to #2 considering all the solid hype they've had for months, not to mention the curiosity factor. They only sold about 100k and were 150k away from the #1 spot. This doesn't bode well for them and I am sure the album will drop quickly down the charts in the coming weeks.
22Mykie that was hilarious and you know it! Laugh LADY!
23I am very excited, im not as excited for their new stuff as i am for their old stuff...got my floor seats for their concert!!
24listening to their greatest hits cd takes me back to being 8 years old all over again!
25I dont get them at all.
26I am a diehard fan, bought the CD, love it, and will be seeing them in November! I am still surprised it sold so many, but very happy for them!
27They obviously dont suck. A lot of ppl love them. NKOTB is da bomb.
28They are #2 because they are "hanging tough":
Dirty, dirty, dawgs....dirty dawgs (DAWGS)
29Bri,
What the heezy!?!
30T, you know Jeezy?
31Oh, Brian, I WAS laughing. I'm STILL Laughing. I'm just in shock over the whole Steve/Kelly thing. I can't believe it...
32Bri,
I do know Jeezy, and from I've learned, Jeezy himself has proclaimed that "Jeezy's on some other shizz"...and that's foreezy!!!
33Oh, pleezy! Did I just type that out loud? They need a new gig? Don't they KNOW they are NO LONGER KIDS?
34tiabia - as usual
robin, haha. you wrote "oh, pleezy" cuz being cheezy is easy breezy - and contagious.
35Oh, sheezy. Now STOP thaaaaat!
36The "ezzies" have gotten way out of hand,
37Okay, now I've got "Easy Breezy Beautiful" stuck in my head.
THANKS A LOT!
38Ugh, I can't stand boys bands. They are so fake and too obvious with attracting naive young girls with their sirupy songs and the banalities of their lyrics.
39"their sirupy songs and the banalities of their lyrics"
but... that's the fun of it...
40It could be fun as they are easy to imitate and mock. But it can be sad also. Mostly when you hear about girls actually crying at their concerts...
41But Juicylemon,
That's the hilarity of the matter (the crying girls).
42true. Like when that girl on TRL who was about to explode because she was breathing near a Jonas kid. Sad? Yes. Funny? Yes, also.
43okay... Freezy with the ezies...no?
44whateezy;)
Mesayme - yeah. I think it's making people queezy.
I had
to! I'm done, promise. 
45I was a fan when I was a kid. I heard they were having a lot of success this summer.
46however I didn't hear any of their songs...as if radio would be open-minded enough to let some group like them back on the air...so, I didn't get the opportunity to regain interest.
Honestly, I shouldn't be surprised. Jordan and Joey both had big successes in the late 90's, coming out with solo albums in the middle of the then-new teen pop craze.
However, I just didn't care myself, but I'm glad to hear pop doing great again. Though I enjoy hip hop, radio has become way too crazed about it.
If I hear one more song by a dude seeing a thong in the club, I'll puke!
It's a slow week if 92K albums is #2, but more to the point, 92,000 people ran out and bought this the first week??
47Yeah I'm surprised. I don't get what the big deal is about them, but then again I was really little when they were popular the first time around.
48i'm not at all surprised about this - seeing as how i was a die hard fan back in the day - although i didn't buy it - i think that there are a LOT of people who want to get back into that groove. i'm happy that they are seeing success again...and i wish them the best!
49Nope. Their fans have been asking for this for a looooooooooooong time. I'll be surprised if it's still in the top 10 next week.
