BREAKING NEWS: AC/DC has officially returned to the No. 1 spot on the charts — marking a major milestone in the band’s legendary career.
In a thunderous comeback that has electrified rock fans across the globe, AC/DC has officially returned to the No. 1 spot on the charts — marking a major milestone in the band’s legendary career. The rock icons’ latest release, High Voltage Revival, has soared to the top of the Billboard 200 and UK Albums Chart, reaffirming the band’s timeless appeal and unmatched staying power.
The new album, released just two weeks ago, is a fiery mix of new material and reimagined classics that pays homage to their roots while pushing forward with fresh energy. It marks their first No. 1 album in over a decade, and the response has been nothing short of electric.
“It’s absolutely surreal,” said lead guitarist Angus Young in a statement. “After all these years, to see the fans still rocking with us — it means everything. We made this album for them.”
High Voltage Revival debuted with over 215,000 units sold in its first week, driven by strong physical sales, streaming numbers, and a limited edition vinyl release that quickly sold out. Critics have also praised the album, calling it a “raw, thunderous return to form” and “a masterclass in classic rock energy.”
The band’s return to No. 1 comes at a significant moment in AC/DC’s storied career. Formed in 1973, the Australian rock band has endured personal losses, lineup changes, and shifting music industry trends — yet managed to remain a cornerstone of hard rock for over five decades.
The current lineup features Angus Young, longtime vocalist Brian Johnson, bassist Cliff Williams, drummer Phil Rudd, and rhythm guitarist Stevie Young. Despite past rumors of retirement, the band has shown that they still have plenty of power left in their amplifiers.
This milestone also marks AC/DC’s fifth album to reach No. 1 in the U.S., and their eighth to top the charts in the UK, a feat few rock bands of their era have managed to achieve. Industry insiders are calling the achievement a “testament to the band’s cross-generational appeal and rock-solid fan base.”
Social media has been buzzing with celebratory posts from fans, fellow musicians, and even celebrities. Hashtags like #ACDCNo1 and #HighVoltageRevival trended globally, as fans shared reactions to the band’s triumphant return.
“AC/DC is proof that true rock and roll never dies,” wrote one fan on X (formerly Twitter). “Legends still writing history!”
Adding to the excitement, the band recently announced a world tour scheduled to kick off this fall, with shows in North America, Europe, and Australia. The High Voltage Revival Tour is already selling out venues, with several dates adding second and third shows due to overwhelming demand.
A spokesperson for the band confirmed that the No. 1 ranking has only fueled their energy:
“The response to the new record has been phenomenal. The band is more energized than ever and excited to bring this music to the stage.”
For a band that once declared “It’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock ’n’ roll,” AC/DC’s journey continues to climb. And now, with another No. 1 under their belt, they’ve proven once again that they’re still on top — louder and stronger than ever.
Stay tuned for more updates on the tour, exclusive interviews, and behind-the-scenes looks at what could be one of the most iconic comebacks in rock history.
