Over the Hump is the eighth regular studio album by European-American pop group The Kelly Family. Co-produced by Hartmut Müller and Kathy Kelly, it was released in 1994 (see 1994 in music) throughout most of Europe.

The album reached number-one in Austria, Germany and Switzerland, resulting into the group's breakthrough in German-speaking Europe after years of minor successful studio and live releases. It also entered the top 30 in the Netherlands and Norway and sold more than 1.8 million copies within the first five month of its release.[1] Over the Hump eventually sold more than 2.25 million copies in Germany alone, making it one of the biggest-selling albums of German origin to date.[2]
