Nick says they never left Interview

The Backstreet Boys knew what they wanted when they made their most recent album, last year's "This Is Us.""When we set out, we made a conscious effort to make music we could dance to and perform," Backstreet Boy Nick Carter says by telephone from his home in Nashville, Tenn.
The Boys sought out producers and writers old and new, from Lady GaGa mastermind RedOne to old hand Max Martin, who wrote hits for the group such as "I Want It That Way" and "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)."
Despite the presence of A-list producers, "This Is Us" hasn't returned the Boys to the top of the charts. But Carter says he didn't expect that to happen.
"Top 40 radio is not particularly in tune with the type of music we play and who we are," Carter says. "We're not mainstream right now.
"A lot of fans don't really know the album's out," Carter continues. "We're not getting exposure on TV and radio. Some people think we broke up."
The Boys took a hiatus between 2002 and 2005, when they returned with "Never Gone." Kevin Richardson left the next year, making the Boys a quartet of Carter, A.J. MacLean, Brian Littrell and Howie Dorough.
In the late '90s and early '00s, the Backstreet Boys were huge, setting attendance and album sales records. That period, though, also was full of offstage drama, from lawsuits with management and record labels to MacLean's drug addiction. Carter was accused of beating ex-girlfriend Paris Hilton, which he has denied, and his family turmoil became a reality TV show, "House of Carters."
"We had some tough times, but it's not that way anymore," Carter says. "Things have chilled out. We want to make music and create. We're over all the drama."
And if the group's popularity has leveled off in the states, they're still going strong overseas, Carter says.
"Ultimately, we're still able to go around the world on tour and sell out arenas," Carter says.
