AC/DC's Electrifying Single Is A Top 10 Hit Again On Every U.S. Chart
'Thunderstruck' is a hit for the ages — the type of smash most musical acts can only dream of. It wasn't just a massive success when it first arrived, but it has also stood the test of time. 35 years into its lifetime, the electrifying cut continues to keep AC/DC on charts around the world.
This week, the song ranks as a powerful bestseller on several Billboard tallies. 'Thunderstruck' currently appears on three U.S.-based rankings, and amazingly, even after three and a half decades of success, the tune secures a top 10 position on all of them.
The single performs best on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart, where it nearly rules once again, shooting from No. 5 to No. 2. It also becomes a top 10 bestseller once more on the Rock Digital Song Sales tally, returning to the uppermost tier as it thunders from No. 15 to No. 9.
The single typically performs best in terms of pure purchases, but Americans also love streaming 'Thunderstruck' on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. This time around, the tune climbs five spaces to No. 4 on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs ranking.
'Thunderstruck' has already ruled both the Hard Rock Streaming Songs and Hard Rock Digital Song Sales charts. It has so far peaked in the runner-up space on the Rock Digital Song Sales tally and has spent hundreds of frames on each list. This week, the cut reaches a major milestone, hitting 520 frames on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart — a full decade's worth of charting.
AC/DC also manages one worldwide smash at the moment, and again, it's 'Thunderstruck.' This week, the track bolts nearly 30 spaces north on the Billboard Global 200, landing at No. 155 in its ninety-fifth turn on the list.

Marvel is Making Big, Cosmic Moves in Its Comics
Things are always happening in the Marvel Universe, and a lot's been happening as of late. Doctor Doom's taken over the planet and there's been some big assassinations up in space, and they're both leading to some new status quo changes over the rest of 2025 and into 2026. At its various panels across San Diego Comic-Con, the publisher gave details on what's to come in the aftermath of its two big, current events, Imperial and One World Under Doom. In the pages of Doom's final issue in November, the evil Doctor will make sure to turn his victory over Earth's heroes into a fixed point in time, which also means his defeat is just as fixed, too. This will lead us into what looks like a hunt for the new Sorcerer Supreme since Doom's apparently vacated the spot. Our candidates include the likes of Storm, Nico Minoru, and Captain Marvel, and the succession process will begin in December. Space-wise, Imperial will end its four-part story in October. In its wake is a number of new cosmic-focused books, two of which were fully revealed: Planet She-Hulk from Stephanie Phillips and Aaron Kuder picks up with Jess still stuck on Sakaar and running things after promising to rule over it in Hulk's absence. And in Nova: Centurion, Jed McKay and Álvaro López pick up with Richard Rider as a drifter holding a sentient repository of the now extinct Xandarians. That repository requires a lot of energy and money, and that means Rich has to make some cash while reeling from knowing the 'terrible lie that the new Galactic Union was built upon.' Both books will be followed by Black Panther: Intergalactic in December, then Exiles and Imperial Guardians in winter 2026. The premises and creative teams for those will be revealed in the coming months. Over in Ultimate Marvel, that universe's heroes will see their first big event in Ultimate Endgame. Announced prior to SDCC, the five-issue miniseries Deniz Camp, Jonas Scharf, and other artists sees the Maker (Reed Richards) finally come out of his prison to find the heroes that've cropped up in his absence. Now that he's freed, it falls to the Ultimates, Spider-Man, Black Panther, Mei, and Wolverine to gather thier allies and fight for their world. During the Ultimate Marvel panel, Camp said the event 'has a bigger impact than most people will know' on the main and Ultimate universes, and further likened it to Crisis on Infinite Earths before Jonathan Hickman cheekily corrected him with Secret Wars. Before Ultimate Endgame begins on New Year's Eve, Hickman and Marco Checchetto's Ultimate Spider-Man will wrap after a two-year run on Christmas Eve. (The other books, such as Ultimate Black Panther and Ultimate X-Men, don't have final issues set at time of writing.) However, this isn't the complete end, as Marvel's promised that book will 'create promising roadmaps for future storytelling.' What awaits the Ultimate universe after things go down in Endgame will have to wait until 2026 draws closer. Want more io9 news?

Blackpink Joins BTS In A Major Chart Feat
With "Jump," Blackpink earns its tenth Hot 100 hit, joining BTS as the only K-pop acts to rack up ... More double-digit wins on the most important songs chart in America. INDIO, CALIFORNIA - APRIL 19: (EDITORS NOTE: Image has been processed using digital filters.) Blackpink perform at Sahara Tent during the 2019 Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival on April 19, 2019 in Indio, California. (Photo byfor Coachella) Blackpink fans have waited years for the band to reunite and release new music, and their patience has finally paid off. The K-pop girl group recently delivered 'Jump,' its first new single in years, which seems to be the beginning of a complete era. While big things were expected from the track, the tune still manages to impress. 'Jump' easily cracks the top 40 on the Hot 100 upon its arrival, earning the K-pop favorites not just another placement on Billboard's most competitive songs tally, but a milestone hit — one that places the four musicians in rare company. 'Jump' Reaches the Hot 100's Top 40 'Jump' launches at No. 28 on the Hot 100 this week. The tune likely would have opened in a loftier position had it not arrived during such a busy frame. Several songs from Justin Bieber's surprise new album Swag open ahead of Blackpink, but this is just the beginning for 'Jump' on the chart. Blackpink Hits the Hot 100 for the Tenth Time Blackpink earns its milestone tenth appearance on the Hot 100 as 'Jump' launches. The group is only the second K-pop act in U.S. history to collect double-digit placements on the songs ranking, following BTS, which managed the feat some time ago. The South Korean boy band has scored 27 smashes throughout the years. Sixth Top 40 Hit for Blackpink 'Jump' becomes Blackpink's sixth top 40 hit on the Hot 100. The group — made up of singers Rosé, Jisoo, Jennie, and Lisa — previously climbed as high as No. 13 with 'Ice Cream,' a collaboration with Selena Gomez, which dropped in September 2020. That cut remains the band's highest-charting release to date. The newly-released 'Jump' now ranks as Blackpink's fourth-highest-peaking cut on the chart, trailing 'Ice Cream,' 'Pink Venom,' and 'Shut Down,' which peaked at Nos. 13, 22, and 25, respectively. Blackpink Outpaces J-Hope With More Hot 100 Hits Blackpink claims the second-most Hot 100 hits among all K-pop artists. The group is now two wins ahead of BTS star J-Hope, who has reached the list eight times as a soloist. Three of the four singers in Blackpink — Jennie, Lisa, and Rosé — have also earned multiple smashes on their own. 'Jump' Debuts on Nine Billboard Charts Blackpink launches 'Jump' on nine Billboard charts this week, and its starting position on the Hot 100 is among its lowest. The tune scores a top five debut on almost every other ranking, and the electronic dance single even conquers both of the company's global lists and one sales-specific tally.
