Big Time Rush/Victoria Justice

An American boy band that found fame in 2009 on the Nickelodeon show of the same name in 2009, Big Time Rush made its debut in 2010 with the saccharine pop album, BTR. It's not a great album, but it certainly didn't hinder the band's popularity. In a poll conducted by Parade Magazine in August 2012, Big Time Rush was named the "Best Boy Band in the World," beating out fellow contemporaries One Direction and the Wanted. (Aziza Doleh)
