In a World Like This by Backstreet Boys

In a World Like This is the eighth studio album (seventh in the US) by the Backstreet Boys, released in 2013 through the group's own record label K-BAHN LLC, under license to BMG Rights Management, and distributed by RED Distribution. A follow-up to 2009's This Is Us, it is the first album featuring all five original members since their 2005 album Never Gone with Kevin Richardson who left the group in 2006 to focus on his family and pursue other interests. Richardson rejoined the group in 2012. It was also their first and only independent album since leaving their old label Jive Records in 2010. The album debuted at number five on the US Billboard 200, making the Backstreet Boys the first act since Sade to have nine US top 10 albums, and the only boy band to do so. On May 20, 2013, the group released "Permanent Stain" as a promotional single, which was co-written by band member Nick Carter. A free download of the song was offered with the purchase of a ticket for their In a World Like This Tour. The first single from the album, also titled "In a World Like This" premiered on Z100 New York on June 18, 2013 and was released on June 25, 2013.
