YM

And in night two of the interview, which was July 25th, host Nancy O'Dell reported that four million copies of Celebrity had already been shipped to record stores and projected first week sales were about two million.

YM Magazine's August feature, which was released in July, wasn't actually about the Celebrity album at all.

To me, this seemed like a PR piece built around NSYNC and their loved ones, so parents, siblings, childhood friends, people who reassured the readers that fame hadn't changed the group.

I see it as a bit of a strategic counter-narrative at a moment when teen pop was still dealing with backlash and still dealing with people essentially counting the minutes until it finally faded out.

Oh, that's funny because I watched a lot of – That's kind of like when I was a teenager, there were so many magazines for young women.

And there was Young Miss, which became YM.

And then there were 17.

They had YMs

back then?

YM was Young Miss first.

And then they had YM.

And I would love, yo.

you,

YM Magazine.

There were some things I read that, you know, like eat fruit.

Uh-huh.

It's so ingrained.

The gender norms and the misogyny is very rooted in these magazines for a long period of time.

But definitely a foe at this, but does that mean I wasn't reading the shit out of Cosmo and YM and sneak and peeks in the grocery line at Cosmo? Cause my mom wouldn't let me buy them.

Uh, yeah, you better believe because that's what you think.
