AC/DC is climbing the Billboard charts once again, thanks to a handful of timeless smashes — and not just in the U.S., but globally as well. The legendary rockers appear on more than half a dozen rankings this frame, as both albums and singles reemerge and rise across several tallies. Three songs by AC/DC find their way onto the rosters this week, with two of them making notable comebacks on one tally apiece.
"You Shook Me All Night Long" is the highest-flying return from AC/DC at the moment. The familiar cut reenters the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart at No. 10, bringing it to the top 10 once more. At the same time, the fan favorite also improves slightly on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart, lifting to No. 21.
Meanwhile, "Thunderstruck" continues to live up to its reputation as AC/DC's biggest hit. The anthem appears on five different rankings this frame, making it the group's most visible song right now.
'Thunderstruck' reappears on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. at No. 178, and its international appeal is on display once more. Simultaneously, it rockets up the Billboard Global 200, which tracks the most-consumed songs worldwide including U.S. figures – while the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. removes sales and streaming info from America – soaring more than 30 spaces to No. 142. That's a new all-time peak for the cut on the planet-spanning roster.
In America, "Thunderstruck" nearly reclaims the throne on several genre-specific lists. It settles at No. 2 on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart, just missing out on the top spot, while also coming in third place on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs ranking. Over on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart, the cut breaks back into the top 10, advancing from No. 11 to No. 9.
It's not just individual tracks that perform well when it comes to AC/DC's catalog. The band's Back in Black album is also enjoying a notable resurgence, as it climbs on three separate Billboard charts this week. On the Top Hard Rock Albums chart, Back in Black finds its way back into the top 10.
The title track from the release is also growing, improving from No. 21 to No. 19 on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs list. It's the only AC/DC tune to appear on a single roster.
Back in Black was originally released in 1980 and remains one of the most successful projects in hard rock history. The album is still actually one of the bestselling full-lengths of all time, regardless of style.
