Boyz II Men redefined popular R&B and continue to create timeless hits that appeal to fans across all generations.

The trio holds the distinction of being the best-selling R&B group of all time, with an astounding 64 million albums sold. The reason is abundantly clear: for the past two decades, Boyz II Men has given fans a rich catalog of hits filled with smooth harmonies and enduring themes. The hits just keep on coming– as the group continues to craft new albums and bring their legendary act to stages across the world.
Boyz II Men’s past hits include: “End of the Road,” “I’ll Make Love to You,” “One Sweet Day,” “Motownphilly,” and many others. Their recent albums have earned them major critical acclaim as well. Their Decca label debut, Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville USA (Decca/Universal), on November 13, 2007, earned them two Grammy nominations.
In 2011, Boyz II Men marked their 20th anniversary by releasing a landmark album, fittingly titled Twenty. The album contains the group’s first original material in nearly a decade as well as a dozen remastered classic, career-defining hits. Twenty debuted at #20 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart, #4 on the Billboard R&B Album chart, #10 on the Billboard Digital Album chart, and placed #1 on the iTunes R&B Soul Album chart. Twenty’s first single, “More Than You’ll Ever Know” cracked into the top 15 on Urban AC charts.
Boyz II Men released a new album featuring original material through label BMG in October 2014 called Collide. Collide is a landmark album for Boyz II Men, showcasing a new and different sound for one of the most successful and enduring groups in mainstream music. Two of the tracks, “Better Half,” and “Diamond Eyes” were featured on a special episode of ABC’s hit show, “The Bachelorette.” The group also performed on FOX’s hit show, Grease Live, which aired on January 31, 2016.
In the summer of 2017, the group once again joined New Kids on the Block on the road for The Total Package tour featuring Paula Abdul. In the fall of 2017, the group released a Doo-Wop album, Under the Streetlight. In 2019 the group released “If You Leave Me Now,” a hit song with singer/songwriter Charlie Puth. The group also opened for Bruno Mars on his 24K Magic tour in select cities in the U.S.
In summer of 2019, they were nominated for a CMT Music Award for their Crossroads performance of “Motownphilly” with country singer Brett Young and continued collaborations with Steep Canyon Rangers on a bluegrass song, “Be Still Moses.” In October 2019, the trio made a cameo in ABC’s show, Schooled, where they performed “Motown Philly,” a spoof of their hit song–taking it back to the ‘90’s with a twist. In February of 2020, the group launched a wine called Chateau Harmony. Most recently, they made an appearance on the NBC hit show, Songland. Their song “Love Struck” premiered at #2 on iTunes as well as ABC’s hit show Blackish.
Boyz II Men have won fans all over the world with their soulful multi-octave sound and incredible vocals.
