According to an update from Nuclear Blast, Sabaton's new album, The Great War, has landed at #1 on the official German charts. It was released a week ago.

The band has issued the following statement:

"From denial to the top. The story of Sabaton in Germany started with a distributor who refused to release our first album, Primo Victoria, because they considered Sabaton to be too controversial for the German music industry. Today YOU proved them all wrong. Thank you German fans for being so damn loyal all these years."
