There are two artists who have used this name
1. New Edition is an American Pop/R&B group formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1978, that was most popular during the 1980s. Guided by producer Maurice Starr, New Edition was originally a Jackson 5-esque collection of five young African American teenage singers, including lead singers Ralph Tresvant and Bobby Brown, and vocalists Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins and Ronnie DeVoe. The group was notable for #1 singles such as “Cool It Now,” “Candy Girl,” and “Mr. Telephone Man” and their success led to the creation of late-1980s and 1990s boy bands like New Kids on the Block, The Backstreet Boys, and ‘N Sync.
Like the Jackson 5 before them, New Edition became a pop phenomenon, and were big enough to have Madonna as an opening act during their early days.
The group parted company with Starr in 1984; Starr responded by promptly creating the group New Kids on the Block, essentially New Edition with Caucasian teenagers. After the split the boys still received success from singles such as “Cool It Now, Mr. Telephone Man”, and “Count Me Out”. Around 1986, Bobby Brown was voted out of the group, due to behavioral problems during concerts, He went on to pursue a solo career in 1987 but did not find success in his solo ventures until 1988. Brown was replaced by former solo child star Johnny Gill who would become an official member that same year. The group’s sound also evolved at this time from bubblegum pop-styled R&B to smoother, more adult music.

It is a shame! It's a "dot gam" shame! These boys ran the 80's as far as R&B groups go. Johnnie Gil and Bobbie Brown did their own thing as well a solo artists. They are one of R&B's most influential super groups, and individual performers.

How this group, New Edition does not have 1 Million plays yet is beyond me! I feel it has a lot to do with New Edition being preceived as only an R&B band. New Edition is far superior to NYSNC and most of those other white male boybands that have a million or more plays!
