NSYNC recently made history as they received a VMAS 2024 nomination for Best Group even after being inactive for more than 20 years. This happened after the 2024 super hit movie Deadpool & Wolverine featured the band’s song Bye Bye Bye and, as a result, brought back the popular boy group.
The Justin Timberlake-led band has started trending ever since being featured in the movie. They got nominated alongside Coldplay, Imagine Dragons, NCT DREAM, NewJeans, SEVENTEEN, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, and Twenty One Pilots.

NSYNC has been trending since Bye Bye Bye was used in Deadpool & Wolverine
Following its release, the Marvel superhero movie starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman broke box office records with a whopping $205 million in domestic sales during its first weekend, eventually making more than $1 billion worldwide.
Due to the movie's success, a number of its songs and their singers have become popular, with the 90s band, which includes Justin, JC, Joey, Lance, and Chris, leading the way.
At the start of Deadpool & Wolverine, Deadpool can be seen dancing to Bye Bye Bye in an action sequence shown during the opening credits.
As a result, since then, the song has had immense success on streaming services. According to Billboard, as of July 31, it is currently at a new high of No. 32 on the Spotify Daily Top 50 U.S. chart.
Moreover, it also received 3.35 million official on-demand streams in the United States from July 26 to July 29, which is 382% more than the total amount of streams it received during the same period last week. As per the same source, having debuted at No. 16, it now soared to the top 10, peaking at No. 8 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart.
The music and the new Deadpool movie brought the band and the song back to fame, and now it's been nominated for Best Group at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards.
Once the nominations were shared by VMA’s official X account, netizens took to the platform to express their opinion. While some shared their disbelief and said who would have thought that NSYNC would be a VMA nominee in 2024, some expressed their excitement about the whole thing.
Interested people can vote for their favorite band from September 3 at 11 a.m. ET to September 6 at 11 a.m. ET on MTV’s website. On Wednesday, September 11, at 8/7c, they can also watch MTV to find out the names of the winners.
