The video for "Inconsolable" was shot by Norwegian director/photographer Ray Kay, who also shot the band for their album packaging. It features the group in vignettes which take place during a solar eclipse on Venice Beach. The video is a visual catharsis, symbolic of the emotions in the lyrics.

The group worked on the album with a myriad of top notch songwriters and producers including Dan Muckala, John Shanks, Billy Mann and former *NSYNC member JC Chasez. Unbreakable, the fifth studio album for Backstreet will be released on Jive Records October 30, 2007. Track listing for Unbreakable is:

   Intro   1. Everything But Mine   2. Inconsolable   3. Something That I Already Know   4. Helpless When She Smiles   5. Any Other Way   6. One In A Million   7. Panic   8. You Can Let Go   9. Trouble Is   10. Treat Me Right   11. Love Will Keep You Up All Night   12. Unmistakable   13. Unsuspecting Sunday Afternoon   

In August the Backstreet Boys celebrate the 10th Anniversary of their first U.S album Backstreet Boys. To date they have sold over 75 million albums worldwide, making them one of the most successful groups of all time.

Last summer, founding member Kevin Richardson decided to take a break from the group and pursue other interests. With his blessing, the four remaining members, Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell and AJ McLean, proceeded to record the follow-up to their 2005 platinum album Never Gone.
