Like the Naked Brothers Band, Big Time Rush is both a pop band and a Nickelodeon TV series. Launched in 2009, the show followed the fictional lives of four high-school friends as they move to Los Angeles, sign a record deal, and become a chart-topping boy band. The series also incorporated original music into each episode, effectively turning the fictional band onscreen into a real group featuring actor/vocalists Kendall Schmidt, James Maslow, Carlos Pena Jr., and Logan Henderson. As the first season… Show more drew to a close in 2010, Sony Music released the group’s first album, B.T.R., which was largely comprised of songs from the show. In 2011, Big Time Rush returned with their sophomore album, Elevate, featuring the singles "Music Sounds Better with You" and "If I Ruled the World." In 2012, the band made its feature film debut with Big Time Movie. A spoof-tacular spy caper set in London, the film's soundtrack includes B.T.R.'s reworked cover versions of songs by the original boyband, The Beatles. ~ Andrew Leahey, Rovi
