Date: Apr 28, 2005 April 14, 2005 BY BARRY A. JECKELL NEW YORK -- As U.S. pop radio stations begin to embrace the Backstreet Boys single ''Incomplete,'' Jive Records has set June 14 as the release date for the vocal group's fourth studio album, ''Never Gone.'' The new album features the writing and production talents of Five for Fighting's John Ondrasik, Savage Garden's Darren Hayes, Max Martin, Billy Mann, Dan Muckala and John Fields, as well as John Shanks, who won the Grammy Award for producer of the year for his work with Sheryl Crow, Kelly Clarkson, Hilary Duff and Ashlee Simpson. The title track was co-written by Backstreet member Kevin Richardson as a tribute to his father. The cut was produced by Mark Taylor, who also contributed to ''Now or Never,'' a solo album by Backstreet's Nick Carter. ''Incomplete'' is off to a strong start in its first week at U.S. radio outlets. The track debuts at No. 55 on Billboard's Hot 100, and jumps from 90 to 27 on the Pop 100 thanks to the infusion of digital sales. On Billboard's Hot Digital Songs list, it opens at No. 30. A video for ''Incomplete'' was recently shot with director Joseph Kahn, who was behind the lens for U2's ''Elevation'' and Britney Spears' ''Toxic'' clips. Fans will get a first peek at it April 25 online via AOL Music's ''First View'' program. The Backstreet Boys are nearing the end of a club and theater tour, which played Chicago last month and will wrap April 18 in Norfolk, Va. Details of a summer tour due to launch in mid-July and play larger venues have not yet been released. Billboard.com
