A New 'N Sync Album Was Just Released and Nobody Knew It Was Happening—Not Even 'N Sync!

"I love when the record label doesn't even tell you they are releasing a new 'NSYNC album tomorrow ! #TheyCare," Lance Bass tweeted

Could this be one of the greatest surprises of all time?!

It's time to whip out the old binder with all of those 'N Sync magazine clippings (just us?), because Justin Timberlake, Lance Bass, Chris Kirkpatrick, JC Chasez and Joey Fatone are back! Well, kinda.

The boy band's label pulled a Beyoncé on all of us and released a new album from the group today! In fact, it was so top secret and out of left field that the guys themselves didn't know it was happening.

"I love when the record label doesn't even tell you they are releasing a new 'NSYNC album tomorrow ! #TheyCare," Lance tweeted with a photo of the Amazon description for The Essential yesterday. None of the other members have commented on the release.

Although we'd love to say that the group secretly got together and recorded a comeback album for this sneaky project, that's not the case. The Essential is a two-disc compilation of the former boy band's biggest hits throughout their career—which, we'd argue, is still amazing and worth getting excited about.

Regardless of the risky marketing ploy, the secret drop seems to be a success, considering the album is already out of stock on Amazon the day it came out.
