"Shape Of My Heart" was the first single from the American pop band Backstreet Boys's album "Black & Blue". Released in October 2000, the song debuted at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was played on 170 out of 171 of the Top 40 stations in the U.S. breaking the record for 'most radio station adds' in debut week. It held the #1 spot on the Billboard Top 40 Mainstream, Hot 100 Airplay and Hot 100 Singles Sales chart for a combined 16 weeks. On MTV's Total Request Live it broke their own record of longest running #1 song which was held by "Larger Than Life".

On the 2000s Around The World In 100 Hours "Black & Blue" promo trip Backstreet Boys sang an a cappella version of the song every continent they landed on.

In Canada "Shape Of My Heart" made its biggest impact. There it broke the record for most weeks at #1 on the Canadian Adult Contemporary (AC) chart with an amazing stay of 14 weeks. On the Canadian (CHR) chart it holds the record for highest-ever debut at #3, shattering the previous record of #10 set by U2 and went on to stay at #1 for 6 weeks, also breaking the record for longest period of time at #1. It also broke the record for 'most first-day spins' on CHR Radio, as measured by BDS, who compile Canadian Radio charts based on detected spins, or plays, on Radio stations across Canada.

[edit] Music video

The music video for "Shape of My Heart" was directed by Matthew Rolston. The entire video is shot in monochrome with a blue tint, creating a Black and Blue look.

The video shows the Backstreet Boys rehearsing lines onstage in an empty theater. Another set of scenes shows a man and a woman rehearsing on the stage while another man and woman watch from a desk in front of the audience in which the band sits. The characters from these scenes also feature in the scenes with the band rehearsing.
