Menudo* in all of its different incarnations

AV Club review of One Direction: This Is Us

...More delusional is the agreed-upon conclusion that the band wouldn’t succeed if it was missing even a single one of its largely interchangeable members. Who do these kids think they are, The Beatles? Actually, Spurlock makes that connection more than once—first by noting that One Direction has conquered the world even faster than its Liverpool predecessors, second by casting the new British invaders in a loose A Hard Day’s Night homage. Will earworm-catchy ditties like “What Makes You Beautiful” eventually give way to psychedelic greatness? Only time will tell, though the boys may have to stop living nice—and start partying with Bob Dylan—before they can get in touch with their own rubber souls.

*Menudo

The group became very popular throughout Latin America, from Mexico to Argentina, including Brazil. During that time, Diaz was able to afford a Lockheed JetStar that had belonged to American President Richard Nixon and the Shah of Iran. The plane carried Menudo's name on both sides of the fuselage and made it the first boy band ever with its own private jet. The group also had a fan base in Spain and the rest of Europe.
