About The Record:

New Kids on the Block , was the self-titled debut album from boy-band New Kids on the Block. The first single, Be My Girl, received minor airplay around the group's native Boston, but failed to capture nationwide attention. The album also failed to garner any attention when it was first released, but during the success of their second album, Hangin' Tough, Columbia Records released the New Kids on the Block track Didn't I (Blow Your Mind) as a single (a cover of The Delfonics' classic hit), in an attempt to bring this album to the attention of the group's growing fanbase. The song went #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and effectively jump-started the sales of the album. Subsequently, the New Kids on the Block album would eventually be certified 3x Platinum by the RIAA; peaking at #25 on the US Billboard 200. The group was originally named Nynuk. The name was changed to New Kids on the Block following the recording of the Donnie Wahlberg-written album track of the same name.
