98 Degrees
98 Degrees is an American pop and R&B boy band that gained prominence in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Formed in 1996 by brothers Nick and Drew Lachey, along with Justin Jeffre and Jeff Timmons, the group quickly distinguished itself with smooth harmonies and romantic ballads. Unlike many of their contemporaries, 98 Degrees was formed independently before signing with a major label, Motown Records. Their breakthrough came with hits like "Because of You," "I Do (Cherish You)," and "The Hardest Thing," earning them a dedicated fan base and multiple platinum albums.
The group's appeal lay in their vocal talents and clean-cut image, which resonated with a wide audience. After a hiatus in the mid-2000s, 98 Degrees reunited in 2012, bringing nostalgia to their longtime fans and introducing their music to a new generation. Their comeback included new music and tours, proving the enduring appeal of their heartfelt love songs and charismatic performances.
