AC/DC Re-Enter Charts With Live & Digital Releases

AC/DC's eventual move to make their catalogue available digitally has seen them score a number of places in charts around the world this week, as fans embrace the ability to purchase their music through Apples iTunes store.

While the ARIA Singles charts were very pop-dominated once again this week, the Aussie rockers stuck out as a number of their classic songs managed to take up positions in the Top 100.Thunderstruckwas the most popular of all the band's songs, re-entering the chart at number 48, spending its 25th week in the chart since release.

You Shook Me All Night Long was the next best seller, hitting the 64th highest spot for its 26th week on the charts, while It's A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock'n'Roll) took 67th spot, Highway To Hell re-entered at number 71, Back In Black managed hit the charts at number 80 and Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap was the band's final entry into the top 100, spending it's 15th week on the ARIA Charts in the number 98 position.

It wasn't just on the siongles chart that they shone, the band's new live album Live At River Plate grabbing the 11th spot on the ARIA Album Chart this week, though not doing the same kind of business as Led Zeppelin's Celebration Day, which managed to debut at number three.

The band only managed one spot on the Digital Albums chart, with 1980's classic Back In Black hitting the chart at number 37.

The UK Charts also featured a solid dose of AC/DC this week, with five singles as well as the new live album and the Back In Black LP managing to get the band's name back on the scoreboard.
