AC/DC is Top of the Album Charts
AC/DC is back with the ‘Black Ice’ studio album and straight away the album has gone to number one in the official UK album charts. ‘Black Ice’ is the band’s fifteenth studio album to date and follows on from the ‘Stiff Upper Lip’ studio album which was released back in 2000. ‘Black Ice’ has seen AC/DC come back with a bang, many praising the band’s latest release and glad that the band is back with new material after a massive eight years; the longest the band has ever gone between releasing studio albums.
AC/DC has seen off competition in the form of new album releases from Kaiser Chiefs, Leon Jackson, and Katherine Jenkins amongst others. The Australian rockers have done it again and once more AC/DC has released a hugely successful studio album. As well as hitting the top spot for albums in the UK; ‘Black Ice’ has also been a number one album in Australia, Ireland, Finland, Belgium, and Sweden so far; not a bad achievement at all for a band that has been around now since 1973.
After fifteen studio albums you’d think that AC/DC would now be running a little low on ideas; the band battles on though and continues to please all by consistently slamming out heavy rocking albums. ‘Black Ice’ has been a long time coming and let’s hope there’s not now another eight year wait before studio album number sixteen.
