For the first time, a music video for an AC/DC song exceeded one million views in 2021, which is relatively recent. Currently, the video for the song “Thunderstruck” has been played over 1.4 billion times. Released in 1990, the song is one of the rock band’s greatest hits.
Another AC/DC music video with a billion views on YouTube
After only three years, the group achieved success again on YouTube, where another of their singles was played as many as a billion times. This time we are talking about the song “Back in Black”, from the album of the same title. The album went platinum in 1980. According to the Recording Industry Association of America, it is the fourth best-selling album by AC/DC. The premiere of the song “Back in Black” in the USA took place in July 1980. A few days later the album was released in the UK.
“Back in Black” was the first AC/DC album released after the death of lead singer Bon Scott. He was replaced in this role by Brian Johnson from the Geordie group, who, as he himself admitted, did not expect such a great success of the song “Back in Black”.
AC/DC is an Australian rock band formed by brothers Angus and Malcolm Young in 1973. The musicians achieved great fame with the song “Highway to Hell”, released in 1979, in which Bon Scott sang for the last time. The singer and co-songwriter died in London in 1980. The cause of his death was choking on his own vomit after drinking a large amount of alcohol.
