I don't remember New Edition at all. Quick visit to Youtube suggests they were a Jackson 5 copycat.

They're from Boston, so I still hear them and all their offshoots (Bell Biv Devoe, Bobby Brown, etc.) regularly. A couple summers ago, the city renamed a street to Bobby Brown Way.

Does it come to a dead end?

I just tried to look it up on google maps, but they don't seem to acknowledge its existence. I believe it's the strip of street in front of the Michael Bivins basketball court (another New Edition member).
Donna Summer got a street named after her last summer, but surprisingly New Kids on the Block don't have one yet.

Richard Overton Avenue (named after the immortal) appears to have been changed back to its original. I would be interested to know whether it was a ceremonial change only. Not everyone on the street would've been happy to change their address. His house is still on street view.

Maybe they'll get a whole block.

It is pretty good yeah, though I’m not a huge fan of The Jam. 
 

The bottom 5 is pretty accurate too. Bin fodder.
