Sehnsucht by Rammstein
Sehnsucht is an album by Rammstein, released in 1997. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 22 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Du Hast”, on 22 lists with a best position of #5.
Sehnsucht, which translates as longing or desire, was Rammstein's second album, released in 1997 through Motor Music in Europe and Slash in America, and it's where the Berlin six went global. Jacob Hellner produced again, and the lineup that has never changed does what it always does: Richard Kruspe and Paul Landers lay down riffs like steel girders, Oliver Riedel and Christoph Schneider stamp them flat, Christian "Flake" Lorenz threads cold industrial keyboards through it all, and Till Lindemann booms his German over the top.
It went straight to number one in Germany and Austria and sent the band on a world tour that ran nearly four years, powered by "Engel" and "Du hast", the latter a pummeling, chant-along stomp. Remarkably, it remains the only album sung entirely in German to go platinum with the RIAA.
