In addition to hitting the road together this summer, New Kids on the Block and the Backstreet Boys have announced they will be releasing a joint NKOTBSB album on May 24.

The as-yet-untitled record will feature five tracks from each band and new recordings by the combined supergroup.

Fans can vote for their favorite songs at nkotbsbvote.com. The top five vote-getters from each boy band will make the final track listing. Fans who pre-order the album before March 24 can even have their name printed in the liner notes.

While it remains to be seen how the final vote will shape up, the current leaders in the voting are New Kids favorites 'You Got It (The Right Stuff),' 'Please Don't Go Girl' and 'Hangin' Tough,' as well as Backstreet hits 'I Want it That Way,' 'Larger Than Life' and 'Everybody (Backstreet's Back).'

The album will include at least one new NKOTBSB song: 'Don't Turn Out the Lights,' a contemporary dance song that BSB members Brian Littrell and AJ McLean premiered during a Backstreet cruise in December. Also included will be mash-ups of songs by both bands, similar to the hits medley NKOTBSB performed at last fall's American Music Awards.

The album's release date coincides with the beginning of the NKOTBSB summer tour, which will find the groups crisscrossing the U.S. and Canada from May to August.

Step by step: The childhood home of the Knight brothers

It's not listed in any tourist guide, but NKOTB fans flock to the house where the Knight brothers grew up By Johnny Diaz Globe Staff / November 15, 2008 When Kari Lusso and her trio of girlfriends flew from Seattle to Boston for the New Kids on the Block concert, they had to make a quick detour. On a rainy Saturday night, the friends drove their rental car to 10 Melville Ave. As they stood in front of the Victorian house, they shrieked and giggled like little girls. The commotion? They were at the former home of the band's brothers Jonathan and Jordan Knight. When they rang the bell, they got a quick tour. "It was going from 31 to 13," Lusso said. "We took pictures of their stove. We took pictures of their floor. We took pictures of the banister, the living room, and their bedrooms. What a dream come true to see such an...

NKOTB's Joey McIntyre Gives Update on BSB A.J. McLean in Rehab

New Kids on the Block singer Joey McIntyre has been in the music business for over 24 years and has seen some friends battle with addiction in the limelight, including Backstreet Boy A.J. McLean who recently made the decision to enter rehab. "A.J. is a sweet kid, good kid and extremely talented, so we're all there for him," said Joey. AJ admitted himself earlier this month before heading on the huge NKOTB/BSB tour. Young star Aaron Carter is reportedly seeking professional help as well to deal with some unknown "emotional and spiritual issues," and Joey commended Aaron for making that step. "To me it's usually a good thing when someone can take some time and retreat from it all and, you know, just get a little bit more centered," Joey said, encouragingly. Justin Bieber has managed to stay clean in his career thus far and Joey gave some advice to the star for staying on the right track. "Hopefully, kids like Justin… there...
