Hanson
Brothers Isaac, Taylor and Zac Hanson were three of the biggest names in the late '90s.
The trio were the members of boy band Hanson, skyrocketing to fame with their 1997 hit MMMBop.
Their debut album Middle of Nowhere sold 10 million copies worldwide and they quickly became the biggest boy band of their time.
But when the trio travelled to Toronto, Canada to perform a concert, they never expected to leave with a brand new world record under their belts.
Isaac, Taylor and Zac are still performing to this day.
In 2004, the trio made their own 3CG which they've since created 10 albums under.
Ahead of a performance in 2012, the brothers reflected on their world record and whether or not they could ever break it.
"These days our crowds, thankfully, their voices are a little lower," Zac told the National Post.
"Twelve-year-olds scream a lot louder, more higher-pitched, than 26-year-olds."
Haim
Danielle, Alana, and Este Haim grew up in a musical family, so it's no wonder they're one of today's biggest sibling bands.
They formed in 2012 and hit the big time in 2013 with their single The Wire.
Over the years they've headlined events as big as Glastonbury festival and count stars such as Elton John, Taylor Swift and Stevie Nicks as their collaborators.
They made history at the 2021 Grammys as the first all-female rock band nominated for album of the year, but it's not something they've since enjoyed discussing.
The Veronicas
Ah yes, the voices behind the unofficial Australian national anthem.
The Veronicas are an Aussie national treasure.
Brisbane sisters Lisa and Jess Origliasso became a household name in Australia back in 2005 with the release of their first album The Secret Life of....
The album spent a full year on the ARIA album chart without ever leaving the top 40, going on to be nominated for Best Pop Release, Highest Selling Album and Best Breakthrough Album.
Then, in 2007, they changed the course of Australian history.
The album Hook Me Up was released on November 3, 2007, with the lead single Untouched becoming the now unofficial Australian anthem.
The sisters are still working together to this day.
They recently released their sixth album Gothic Summer, are set to open for Cyndi Lauper's and have their new beauty brand Lemons coming out in April 2025.
The Carpenters
According to the Rolling Stone, siblings Richard Carpenter and Karen Carpenter are one of the best musical duos of all time.
They both grew up musically-inclined, with Richard taking piano lessons and Karen learning to play the drums.
The pair were apart of several other musical groups together, before signing to A&M Records in 1969 as Carpenters.
The next year, they became a household name.
Their singles (They Long to Be) Close to You and We've Only Just Begun became major hits wordwide.
The duo toured almost constantly throughout the 1970s as they became known for their unique harmonies.
In 1979 they decided to take a break after Richard became addicted to Quaaludes and Karen began to suffer from anorexia.
The siblings released their final music together, Made in America, in 1981.
Then on February 4, 1983, the group ended when Karen died of a heart failure caused by her complications of anorexia.
Richard still continues to make music and even sometimes performs live alongside his children.
The Pointer Sisters
In 1969, sisters June and Bonnie Pointer began performing in clubs as Pointers Au Pair.
It wasn't long before their sister, Anita Pointer also quit her job to join the group.
They were discovered during a nightclub appearance in 1971 and were soon signed to Atlantic Records.
They released their first album The Pointer Sisters – which later became their group name – in 1973 and were praised for their individuality and unique sound.
They took home a Grammy in 1975 for their hit Fairytale, but it wasn't enough to keep the group together.
In 1997, Bonnie decided to leave to pursue a solo career.
Anita and June took a short break from their music careers before resigning as The Pointer Sisters, alongside their fourth sister Anita, with Planet Records.
Their single He's So Shy hit number three on the charts, followed the next year by Slow Hand which reached number two.
But it was their album So Excited!, featuring the hit I'm So Excited, that made them a household name.
In 1994, the group were even honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
