dc Talk Biography (Page 3)

Michael Tait explains, "This is the first record we've ever written together so that makes it more of a collective vision than ever before. " The album also abandons all traces of rap and sticks with the rock/pop sound. It has had great success so far. It debuted at #4 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart (the highest of any Christian rock artist), and broke the record for the highest selling Christian album in the first week of sales. In a short 6 months the album went gold. The next year dc talk embarked on their Supernatural Experience Tour. In this 60+ city tour , they played many major venues. Many of the concerts were sellouts, and the tour was a definite success. In the fall of '99, the band released a book they had written titled Jesus Freaks about Christian martyrs. They got help from The Voice of The Martyrs, a Christian martyr organization. In November 1999, dc talk released their 4th long-form video, titled The Supernatural Experience. It could be called a combination of their previous two videos. It contains interviews, music videos, and footage from their Supernatural Experience Tour.
