Every time April Fools Day hits it kicks off the countdown to when we can crack out that meme again.

Every. Year.

The meme has been running a full six years, thanks to the upsurge of social media and meme culture, and it sees the networking sites awash with various styles of the meme right at the end of April.

For the uninitiated, it comes from the old classic *NSync song of 2000 called Its Gonna Be Me, where Justin is completely incapable of singing the word me without it sounding like hes telling us its about to be the fifth month of the year.

Its now being reported that our obsession with the annual meme has been lining the groups pockets, as there has been a huge surge in plays of the track.

The song itself saw one million people play the song on 30 April and 1 May, with a leap of 176% in the US alone.

JC Chasez even jumped on the bandwagon this year, singing the classic line as the lads celebrated their star on the Walk Of Fame.

Now just waiting for JT to follow suit one of these years.

Roll on 2019.
