AC/DC Joins PINK FLOYD, JOURNEY, METALLICA And GUNS N' ROSES In Exclusive Chart Club
April 10, 2024, 8 months ago
AC/DC has been on quite the winning streak on the Billboard charts lately, reports Forbes. In the past few weeks, the band has returned to No. 1 on one ranking, watched as one of their most popular albums surged in popularity, and witnessed several of their biggest singles reaching a momentous milestone - all at the same time. This frame is also special for the rockers, as they manage yet another impressive show of power in America.
This week, AC/DC’s album Back In Black celebrates 600 weeks on the Billboard 200. The rock collection is one of only a dozen titles to reach that mark on Billboard’s ranking of the most-consumed full-lengths in the US.
This week, Back In Black falls down the Billboard 200, which is not a new trend. The title has been declining lately, but the fact that it remains on the tally at all is impressive. Back In Black slipped from No. 123 to No. 150 last time around. This week, it backtracks again, settling at No. 163 on the 200-rung list.
