"Back In Black" was produced by Robert "Mutt" Lange, who went on to produce DEF LEPPARD, FOREIGNER, THE CARS, and BRYAN ADAMS. The band's next album, "For Those About To Rock", reached No.
37.ĭespite its massive success, it never got higher than No. 35 on the Billboard Hot 100, and "Back In Black", which peaked at No. "Back In Black" included the singles "You Shook Me All Night Long", which peaked at No. "That was the first time I'd been in the Bahamas, anyway, or near America, you know, and you (have to) remember, I was just fascinated by the whole culture and all, and I had no idea what the hell I was doing! And (laughs) lucky, really - I was a bit lucky, I think." "I'd just melted me brain in there, and I didn't know if it was good or bad," he said. Johnson told The Pulse of Radio that he didn't have a clue how successful "Back In Black" would turn out to be. AC/DC had made some serious headway in America before Scott's death, but no one knew how "Back In Black" would be received. The group quickly decided to press on and hired Brian Johnson from the band GEORDIE to take over on vocals, and they headed to the Bahamas for about six weeks to do the album. It was the band's first album without lead singer Bon Scott, who had died a few months earlier after passing out and choking on his own vomit following a long night of drinking. On July 25, 1980, AC/DC released "Back In Black" in the U.S., followed by the album's U.K.
The RIAA lists "Back In Black" as the fourth biggest-selling album of all time. "Back in Black" first went platinum in October 1980 and had previously been certified 22 times platinum in December 2007. Last December, "Back in Black" was certified by the Recording Industry Association Of America for U.S. The clip was uploaded to the band's official YouTube channel as part of the 40th-anniversary celebrations of AC/DC's classic 1980 album "Back In Black".
