They launched their first single "We've Got It Goin' On" in 1994; although the song didn’t do too well in the US, it earned them their first Gold Disc in Germany. The band launched their first album titled Backstreet Boys in 1995. They were an instant success with their record reaching the top 10 Pop artist charts in various countries.
