\t\t\t\t\tStryper\u2019s Michael Sweet Talks Health & Longevity in \u2018Behind the\u2026\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n\t\u201cWe love what we do and the fans love it even more,\u201d Stryper frontman Michael Sweet tells Billboard<\/em>. \u201cMy mentality is to always outdo the last album. Whether we do or not, we\u2019ll go into a project certainly trying our best to do just that. We\u2019re so happy with how Kings <\/em>turned out, and the Stryper army worldwide seems to agree. We are blessed!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe new set from the four-piece unit, which formed in 1983 and is based in La Mirada, Calif., follows The Final Battle<\/em>, which arrived at its No. 3 Top Christian Albums best in November 2022, and Even the Devil Believes<\/em>, which in September 2020 became the band\u2019s first No. 1. Stryper first reached the chart with The Yellow and Black Attack<\/em>, which entered in November 1984 and reached No. 10 the following June.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter over 40 years together, three of the four members of Stryper are originals, including brothers Michael and Robert Sweet, along with Oz Fox. The newest rocker in the foursome is Perry Richardson, who replaced Tim Gaines in 2000. Richardson formerly played bass for country artists Trace Adkins and Craig Morgan before joining the faith-based bangers.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe set is the Houston native\u2019s first entry on the chart since May 2011, when Becoming<\/em> started at its No. 3 best. Before that, What a Wonderful Time<\/em> hit No. 2 in December 2007, after The Best of Me<\/em> became her fifth No. 1 that May.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
