The Album Chart

As Shindy is out the chart (at least for now), local power metal band Powerwolf brings its third album directly at #1. Santiano and Robin Thicke are at #2 and #3, respectively, while Selena Gomez' "Stars Dance" is new at #4. It's the first album of the US star to enter the top ten.
