It is the seventh Australian and sixth internationally released studio album by the band.
Released on 25 July 1980, Back in Black was the first AC/DC album recorded without former lead singer Bon Scott, who died on 19 February 1980 at the age of 33, and was dedicated to him. The band considered disbanding following Scott's death, but they ultimately decided to continue and shortly thereafter hired Brian Johnson as their new lead singer and lyricist. Producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange, who had previously worked with AC/DC on Highway to Hell, was again brought in to produce. The recordings were made at Compass Point Studios in Nassau, Bahamas, and Electric Lady Studios in New York, where the album was also mixed.
The album was remastered and re-released in 1994, then again in the Bonfire box set in 1997, and as part of the AC/DC remasters series in 2003 by George Marino. In addition, a Dualdisc version was released in 2004, featuring the album in enhanced LPCM Stereo format and the video documentary The Story of Back in Black.
The album has sold an estimated 49 million copies worldwide to date, making it the second highest selling album of all time, and the best selling hard rock or heavy metal album, as well as the best selling album ever released by a band.... (more)(less)

"September 9th-15th
"Rock 'N' Roll Ain't Noise Pollution"
Spent a lot of time listening to AC/DC during work this week for whatever reason. Turns out most if not all their albums are uploaded to youtube for streaming, so I've been going through their back catalog. Honestly I spent more time listening to the Bon Scott records than this one (though I did listen to this one a couple times), but this song is the one that was most stuck in my head."

""I'm dizzy drunk and fightin
On tequila white lightnin
My glass is getting shorter
On whiskey ice and water
So c'mon have a good time
And get blinded outta your mind
So don't worry 'bout tomorrow
Take it today
Forget about the cheque we'll get hell to pay
Have a drink on me
Yeah have a drink on me
Yeah have a drink on me
Have a drink on me
Get stoned."
I had to put this album on here for the obvious reasons, yet I am not much of an AC/DC fan, so I don't get super excited when someone says it's "

Year: 1980!
1980, still to this day, remains as one of most profilic year in history of music. Motorhead released Ace Of Spades, Ozzy Osbourne released Blizzard Of Ozz, U2 released Boy etc...
But 1980, and the 80's in general, survived because of AC/DC's most greatest effort till date: Back In Black which contains such immortal tracks which would bring a person to his knees!
Tracks listing:
Back In Black
Shoot To Thrill
You Shook Me All Night Long
Hell's Bells
Rock 'N Roll Ain"

""In the middle of album rehearsals, singer Bon Scott went on a drinking spree; he choked on his own vomit and was found dead in the back seat of a car. After two days of mourning, guitarist Malcolm Young thought, "Well, fuck this, I'm not gonna sit around mopin' all fuckin' year." He called his brother, guitarist Angus Young, and they went back to work with replacement vocalist Brian Johnson. The resulting album has the relentless logic of a sledgehammer. Back in Black might be the purest distil"
