Biography
AC/DC are an Australian rock band formed in 1973 by brothers Malcolm and Angus
Young. Although the band are commonly classified as hard rock and are considered
a pioneer of heavy metal, they have always classified their music as rock and
roll.
After lead singer and co-songwriter Bon Scott died on 19 February 1980, after a
night of heavy alcohol consumption, the group briefly considered disbanding, but
soon ex-Geordie singer Brian Johnson was selected to replace Scott. Later that
year, the band released their best-selling album, Back in Black.
AC/DC have sold more than 200 million albums worldwide, including 71 million
albums in the United States. Back in Black has sold an estimated 45 million
units worldwide, making it the highest-selling album by any band and the 2nd
highest-selling album in history, behind Thriller by Michael Jackson. The album
has sold 22 million in the US alone, where it is the fifth-highest-selling
album. AC/DC ranked fourth on VH1's list of the "100 Greatest Artists of Hard
Rock" and was named the seventh "Greatest Heavy Metal Band of All Time" by MTV.
In 2004, the band was ranked number 72 in the Rolling Stone list of the "100
Greatest Artists of All Time".
