On Cove’s list
All or Nothing, O-Town
is one of the entries on Cove’s 100 Pop Songs of the New Millennium. In the magazine’s own description, the chart measures the most radio aired and video played pop singles from the year 2000 through to now
, from video rotation and national radio charts. As with every entry on that page, we give no position. The archived text runs some entries together, so order is not rank.
Other boy bands on the same list: *NSYNC, with three songs, and the Backstreet Boys, with one.

MusicBrainz names five members and gives no dates for them. Wikipedia names Ikaika Kahoano as an original member who left early and was replaced by Dan Miller. It also says Ashley Parker Angel did not take part in the reunion.
The return
Wikipedia says the group disbanded in 2003 and reunited in 2013 as a four-piece. MusicBrainz shows the result: Lines & Circles (2014, All About The Melody), an EP called Part 1 (2017) and The O.T.W.N Album (2019), both on Pacific Records, plus a 2019 single, “Hello World”. The gap between O2 and Lines & Circles is twelve years in the record.
Wikipedia also notes that the band’s first season of Making the Band was managed by Lou Pearlman, and that management changed before the debut album. The other acts profiled from this Cove list are Dream and Blu Cantrell.
