Judas Priest reaches number one in the German charts for the first time!
After more than 50 years of band history, Judas Priest achieves their first number-one placement in the German charts with their new album "Invincible Shield" just one week after its release.
The band has been considered one of the most influential in the heavy metal genre since the 1970s. Their 19th studio album "Invincible Shield" was released on March 8 via Columbia Records and combines all the strengths of the band in a fresh sound that excites both fans and critics alike. The previous album “Firepower” (2018) reached number 2 in the German album charts and has sold over 93,000 copies in Germany to date.
In the past 50 years, Judas Priest has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide and has performed on stages in the largest stadiums in the world. In 2010, the band was awarded a Grammy in the category of “Best Metal Performance,” and in 2022, they were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
With “Invincible Shield,” the band from Birmingham not only achieves a new record placement in Germany but also in the UK (number 2 in the album charts).
On Monday (March 11), Judas Priest kicked off their European tour in Glasgow, which will bring them to Germany in March for three sold-out dates (Frankfurt, Munich, Dortmund). In July, five more shows will follow, including a headliner performance at the Rockharz Festival in Ballenstedt.
