Music The Backstreet Boys have reportedly left the label that boasts huge pop acts like Britney Spears and 'N Sync. Reports by MTV news and Billboard online say attorneys for the band have sent a letter to Jive records that states the label is in breach of contract and the band is no longer with Jive. The recent label dispute follows 'N Sync's label switch from RCA to Jive. Previous reports said the Backstreet Boys were upset that 'N Sync would be on the same label. The multi-platinum pop band allegedly left their management company last year because their managers were representing 'N Sync at the same time. A report by MTV news, however, says a spokeswoman for the band stated the Backstreet Boys don't have a problem with 'N Sync. Although Jive and the Backstreet Boys' management company declined to comment on the label switch, there are rumours that the band members feel exploited by Jive. In an earlier interview with MTV, band member Howie, said the band is looking for respect from the record company. The Backstreet Boys also told MTV that legal issues won't affect their current tour and are tentatively planning another North American tourm for May and June of next year. Comment on this item.
