Breaking Down New Editions
Have you ever wondered how the evolution of boy bands dates back to the legendary American R&B/pop group New Edition in the 1980s? The New Edition began their journey back in 1978 in Boston, Massachusetts, and enjoyed a sensation spotlight in the 1980s. The original lineup featured lead singers Ralph Tresvant and Bobby Brown, alongside vocalists Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, and Ronnie DeVoe, making the audience reminiscent of the classic Jackson 5.
The band made its fans swoon over their cool dance moves and impeccably synced vocals. They were crowned with chart-toppers like “Candy Girl” and "Mr. Telephone Man," which influenced the formation of new boy bands such as New Kids on the Block, The Backstreet Boys, and NSYNC.
All was well until 1984 when the group cut ties with their producer Maurice Starr. But, despite the split, they continued to deliver hits like "Cool It Now" and "Count Me Out."
Bobby Brown quit in 1986, due to behavioral issues, and went on to make history. Brown went on to enjoy a remarkable solo career with his album Don't Be Cruel (1988) and won the Grammy Awards with "Every Little Step." He also had an iconic marriage with Whitney Houston, which unfortunately ended in 2007.
Brown leaving The New Edition led to the introduction of Johnny Gill, who brought in a breath of fresh air to the group’s music, notably with the album "Heart Break."
New Edition officially reunited in 1996 for the "Home Again" album, which delighted fans who were looking forward to a reunion since their semi-reunion in 1991 for the remix of Bell Biv DeVoe's "Word To The Mutha!"
Despite these reunions, the band still suffered from back-to-back fallouts during their tours, resulting in Mike Bivins to leaving in 1997. The group moved to take an indefinite hiatus.
New Edition reformed in 2002 without Bobby Brown and released the album "One Love" which welcomed them back with success and love, as their reunion brought back the era of rejoicing in New Edition’s music.

A Closer Look at New Edition’s 2024 Tour Setlist
Cool It Now
Released in 1984, when the band members were just 10 years old, "Cool It Now" stands as one of New Edition's early hits, showcasing their transition from teenage sensations to mature artists. Catching in rhyme the essence of young love, the song's success hit the US Billboard Hot 100 at Number 4.
Can You Stand the Rain
In 1988, New Edition released the soulful "Can You Stand the Rain," a timeless piece that has resonated across generations. The romantically woven question of weathering storms in one’s relationship, this beautiful ballad uses skillful imagery and diction. The track saw fans wholeheartedly embrace the newly joined Johnny Gill as an integral part of New Edition as the track topped the Billboard R&B charts.
Mr. Telephone Man
"Mr. Telephone Man," released in 1984, is a playful yet soulful track that showcases New Edition's ability to blend R&B with a pop touch. The song's narrative revolves around defeated young hearts aching over the chase of not being able to speak to their love. Its upbeat tempo and catchy chorus made it a hit while crooning how “This situation's blowing my mind.”
‘New Edition Story’
Delving deep into their roots and journey as a talented yet tormented fantastic bunch, ‘New Edition Story’ provides an intimate look into their lives. Although not a traditional movie, this biographical three-part miniseries released on January 24, 2017 offered a glimpse of the internal drama while trying to conquer the musical industry in style.

Gray, Elijah Kelley, Luke James, Woody McClain, Keith Powers, Algee Smith, Michael Rapaport, Wood Harris, and others as part of the cast, it went down in history as one of the best black pop biopics, that saw the premiere watched by over 4.2 million viewers, won 3 BET awards and numerous others.

Tour Dates: March 9-November 3, 2023
Chicago Concert Reviews stated that New Edition cemented their legacy on their tour with Keith Sweat and others. They went on a “Legacy” tour last year in honor of the original tour’s 40th anniversary. The concert was a documentation of one of the greatest pop and R&B groups established. The Boston-bred brothers gave the crowd harmonies and carefree bubblegum songs that took the fans back to the good old days. Their 90-minute set did not disappoint!
Other fans said it was great music, but painful to watch and had bad sound. They also complained that the price was too high for what they got.

New Edition 2024 Net Worth and Annual Income
Sunmark states that New Edition is one of the boy bands with a high net worth, ringing in at $80 million as a group.
Net worth is hard to accurately estimate as some financial information is private. With musical groups, each member has their own net worth and then the group has a combined net worth as well. There are many sources of income that have to be considered, making it complicated to put together.
New Edition is playing 16 shows in 2024, as their schedule shows at the moment. They likely make $250,000 or more per show. That will make them $4 million this year.
The group has 101 songs on Spotify. According to Kworb, the highest-streamed song gets over 69,000 streams per day. If each stream is worth $0.01, they would make over $250,000 in the course of a year. 4 other songs get similar streams, which means they would make $1.25 million over the course of a year.
AAE Music shows that if you want to book New Edition for a personal appearance or private event, it would cost anywhere from $150,000-$300,000. If they do even 4 such events this year, they would net $450,000.
Add to these things endorsements, merchandise sales, and other venues, and New Edition is set to make at least $6 million in 2024.
