4. ‘Because Of You’
When it was released in 1998 ‘Because Of You’ was the first of the band’s songs to hit the Top 3 in the US. Landing at number 3, ‘Because Of You’ paved the way for the 4x Platinum second album ’98 Degrees and Rising’. Building on the soulful sound of their debut album, ‘Because Of You’ moved closer to the mid-tempo songs that Backstreet Boys were having success with.
