AC
/ DC are an Australian rock band, founded on December 31
1973 by Scotland-born brothers Angus and Malcolm Young.
The band members already changed before publication of their first album
High Voltage in 1975, when singer Dave Evans was replaced in the fall of
1974 by Bon Scott. 1979, the band recorded their highly successful album
Highway to Hell. Shortly thereafter, the lead singer and co-songwriter Bon
Scott died on February 19 1980. The group was then thinking about
quitting, until former Geordie singer Brian Johnson was hired as
Scott's replacement. A little later the band released their best selling
album, Back in Black.
AC / DC has sold more than 200 million albums worldwide, including 69
million albums in the United States. Back in Black, the world's
second-selling album in history with an estimated 49 million units sold,
including in the U.S. alone 22 million. It's also in the U.S. so far
one of the best-selling albums. AC / DC is on VH1's list of "100
Greatest Artists of Hard Rock bands" at No. 4 and seventh on the list
of "best heavy metal bands of all time" by MTV. In 2004 the band
was selected number 72 in the Rolling Stone list of the 100 best artists.
