Old Is New For AC/DC

The news of the release of AC/DC’s first album in 8 years has sent a lot of new fans out for an educational catch-up and some old ones for a refresher course.

On this week’s ARIA chart, AC/DC are at no. 47 with ‘TNT’, no. 61 with ‘Highway To Hell’, no. 62 with ‘Dirty Deeds Done Cheap’, no. 74 with ‘Who Made Who’ and no. 92 with ‘The Razor’s Edge’.

Collectively, the albums sold 3324 units which on this week’s chart was more than what the number 9 album did.

It was an interesting choice of titles going over the counter. Three of the albums are from the early era with Bon Scott. ‘The Razor’s Edge’ features Brian Johnson and ‘Who Made Who’ was a soundtrack featuring both Bon and Brian.

AC/DC’s new album ‘Black Ice’ will be released on October 18 in Australia and October 20 in the USA.
