The Story of 98 Degrees
98 Degrees (stylized as 98°) is an iconic American pop and R&B group formed in 1996. Unlike many of their contemporaries who were assembled by record labels, the quartet—consisting of brothers Nick and Drew Lachey, Jeff Timmons, and Justin Jeffre—formed independently in Los Angeles before being signed to Motown Records. Their unique origin gave them a soulful, R&B-influenced edge that set them apart in the late-90s boyband boom.
The group achieved massive commercial success with their breakout album 98° and Rising (1998), which went 4x Platinum in the US. They became fixtures on the Billboard charts with emotional ballads and upbeat tracks alike, selling over 10 million records worldwide. Their collaboration with Mariah Carey on "Thank God I Found You" further cemented their status as vocal powerhouses within the industry.
After a decade-long hiatus starting in 2002, the group officially reunited in 2012 for the Mixtape Festival and subsequently joined the massive "Package Tour" alongside New Kids on the Block and Boyz II Men. They released their fifth studio album 2.0 in 2013 and have remained a consistent force in the nostalgia circuit and beyond.
Now in 2026, 98 Degrees continues to celebrate their legacy, performing for a dedicated global fan base. Their harmony-driven sound remains a benchmark for the genre, proving that their staying power is as hot as their name suggests.
