Under the Radar Over the Top is the fourteenth studio album by German hard dance group Scooter. The album was released on 2 October 2009, preceded by the single "J'adore Hardcore" on 14 August.[3] A second single, "Ti Sento", was released on the same day as the album.[4] The third single "The Sound Above My Hair" was released on 27 November 2009.,[5] and "Stuck on Replay", the 4th single from the album is being used as the official theme song of 2010 IIHF World Championship.

The album's cover was photographed at the former American NSA espionage site Teufelsberg in Berlin.[6] The title comes from Alexis Petridis' Guardian article about the group's unexpected UK success in 2008.[7] The album's release was supported by a German tour in March 2010.[8]

Under the Radar Over the Top went gold in 2010.
