With the successful reunions of The Police, Led Zeppelin and The Spice Girls, New Kids on the Block are rumored to be getting in on the reunion action.

The multi-platinum boy band constantly topped the charts with hit singles including, "Hangin' Tough," "Please Don't Go Girl," "Cover Girl" and "Step by Step." However, once they surpassed puberty, their tween fans lost interest and so they changed their name to NKOTB, a name which earned the band a severe backlash and thus they fell into obscurity — finally calling it quits in 1994.

Since then, Jon Knight has gotten into real estate, Donnie Wahlberg (brother to actor Mark Wahlberg) has had some luck in acting with roles in The Sixth Sense and Band of Brothers; little Joe McIntyre found a brief moment of fame on Dancing with the Stars, while Jordan Knight and Danny Wood have launched solo careers.

The official announcement is expected to be made on their website in February.

    We are so ready for a reunion! It would be a dream come true for me – I never had the chance to see them in concert when I was younger. I'm just hoping for the chance to see them today! Please-oh-please!
