Let's not forget about Big Time Rush, a boy band often forgotten in the light of One Direction, 5 Seconds of Summer, and The Jonas Brothers. The group consisting of Carlos Pena Jr., Kendall Schmidt, James Maslow, and Logan Henderson began in 2009 and hasn't been extremely active lately, though they were well loved in their prime. BTR shouldn't be forgotten though, as they were actually some pretty cool guys and have done some pretty awesome things.
1. They had some pretty good music come out.
No one can deny that "Till I Forget About You," "Windows Down," and "Halfway There" were great songs.
2. Their TV show was actually pretty funny.
With some great one liners and plots, the show held its own with humor.
3. Their show's theme song was great.
"Big Time Rush" by Big Time Rush was an awesome song.
4. Their music videos are cringe-worthy enough to make them hilarious.
Their coordinated dance moves made their videos simply hilarious to watch.
5. They were (are) attractive guys.
Can't fault them for being good looking.
6. Carlos Pena was just recently in "Grease Live."
And as Kenickie, too.
7. Ciara Bravo (from the "Big Time Rush" TV Series) was also in "Red Band Society."
She played a large role as Emma in the highly rated, yet short lived, hospital drama.
8. Erin Sanders (also from the show) was also in "Zoey 101").
As the lovable weirdo Quinn Pensky, Erin Sanders starred in the well loved Nickelodeon show.
9. They've never actually broken up.
A big feat for boy bands today.
10. They've won a World Music Award trophy.
Big Time Rush was the first and only Nickelodeon group/artist to date to win a World Music Award trophy for World's Best Live Act.
11. They've written music with and performed with extremely successful bands.
Big Time Rush has written music with members of OneRepublic, had songs featuring Snoop Dogg, and has had One Direction open for them.
