The Backstreet Boys are still shining bright at the Grammys two decades later. On Sunday, the '90s boy band had a group date night with their wives [1] as they attended the award show together [2]. Not only was the band celebrating their eighth Grammy nomination [3], but it also marked 20 years since their very first Grammys appearance. The band first attended the show in 1999 when they were up for best new artist. While they have yet to win a Grammy [4], we have a feeling they will have more "chances [5]" next year with their chart-topping 10th album, DNA [6].

They also shared the stage with music legend Elton John [10] as they sang "Philadelphia Freedom."
