AC/DC Debuts On Dance Chart

November 21, 2008

According to Reuters/Billboard, Anglo-Australian rockers AC/DC made their first appearance on the Hot Dance Club Play chart this week with "Rock N Roll Train", which rolled onto the survey at No. 48. "Rock N Roll Train" also ended the seven-week reign of METALLICA's "The Day That Never Comes" on Billboard's airplay-based Mainstream Rock chart. The album from which it comes, former chart-topper "Black Ice", is No. 6 on The Billboard 200, having shifted 1.3 million copies in the United States since its October 20 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

"Black Ice" is exclusively available via Wal-Mart, Sam's Club and AC/DC's web site.

Special "pop-up" AC/DC stores are open through January 9 in New York City and Los Angeles, where Wal-Mart does not have stores.

AC/DC kicked off its world tour in support of "Black Ice" on October 28 in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.
