JC Chasez has made another trip around the sun, and former *NSYNC bandmate Justin Timberlake has congratulated him on the journey.
Chasez turned 46 on Monday (Aug. 8), and among his many well-wishes was a shoutout from Timberlake.
“To my brother,” JT wrote to JC on Instagram Stories. “We’ve come a long way.”
A “long way” is underselling the distance traveled by *NSYNC, whose classic lineup featured Timberlake, Chasez, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick.

The former pinups had one of the most popular albums in the Internet era with 2000’s No Strings Attached — which held the record for the biggest single-week sales before it was dethroned by Adele’s 25 in 2015 — and continue to keep fans updated with new merchandise. All told, six singles from *NSYNC cracked the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, including the No. 1 “It’s Gonna Be Me,” and two of their LPs led the Billboard 200.
Just last year, they released a 20th-anniversary collection on their official website, and in 2019, the five original members reunited for the presentation of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Will the *NSYNC journey continue? Don’t bet against it. In March, the band teased something new in the pop band’s universe with the cryptic message: “Vol. 7 Coming Soon.”
Meanwhile, when Fatone stopped by the Billboard Pop Shop Podcast in 2020 and was asked about the future of *NSYNC, he said, “It’s not a no, but it’s not a yes.” Back in 2019, the ’90s pop stars sent the rumor mill into a spin when they staged a mini-reunion onstage with Ariana Grande at Coachella.
