Pop stars Backstreet Boys have confirmed their return to the music scene, promising to work on their new album later this year. The band took a five-year hiatus, before coming out with their 2005 album, Incomplete. The song Incomplete quickly became the No.1 most requested song in top markets in both U.S. and overseas. Band member Brian Littrell said that the band was looking forward to making new music for their fans, who had been with them for the past 13 years. Im a big fan of the Backstreet Boys and our success and the quality of music that we put out and our fan base thats been there for us over the 13 years that weve been together. I hope to further that and also have the freedom to do this. God has called me to be here. He had earlier admitted that being in the band was just a stepping stone to where he is now. I had an opportunity to go to the University of Cincinnati Bible College, but God basically took my life south to Florida, and I started singing in the Backstreet Boys and he has truly multiplied my audience. But being a Backstreet Boy is a mere stepping stone for me, he was quoted by Contact music as saying. The pop group has enjoyed enormous success in the late 1990s and early 2000s, reporting sales of more than 87 million albums (38 million in U.S.). To date, they are the highest-selling boy band in history. The five-member group consists of Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, A.J. McLean and Kevin Richardson.
