Super ’80s boy band New Kids on the Block are back with their first new album in 15 years. The Block dropped last week, landing at No. 2 on the Billboard charts overall and No. 1 on the Billboard pop charts. Clearly, the fans are eating it up, and they’re the sort of people who still buy CDs. Personally, I adore comebacks. Everyone should have one. The PR shenanigans are just so beautifully awkward to watch.
