Recording information: 1997 - 2000.

Sibling teen-pop outfit Hanson burst into the limelight in the 1990s with their infectious single "MMMBop" and their major label debut MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. Hyped on their age (the drummer, Zac, was a mere 11 years old) and their wholesome, photogenic looks as much as their music, Hanson delivered a carefully crafted take on soulful pop that looked back to the Jackson 5 and the Partridge Family. The best of the band's material is presented on this 20th CENTURY MASTERS collection, which in addition to the band's mega-hits, "MMMBop" and "Where's the Love," contains a fine sampling of the band's lesser-known but no less appealing fare, including some of Hanson's surprisingly introspective later work.
