This is a discography of AC/DC, an Australian hard rock band. Since 1974, AC/DC have released 14 studio albums worldwide, 4 albums issued in Australia only, 2 compilations released as soundtracks, 3 live recordings, 12 video collections of concerts and music videos, and 2 box sets. Although a large number of AC/DC singles have been released, the band always refused to release any greatest hits type packages;[1] Who Made Who (which served as the soundtrack to Stephen King's Maximum Overdrive), Iron Man 2, and the band's various live recordings are as close as the group have come to such a compilation.[2] AC/DC albums are available to download from Verizon[3], however AC/DC have refused to release their albums on iTunes as iTunes normally allows downloading of individual tracks and AC/DC have publicly stated "Our...reason is that we honestly believe the songs on any of our albums belong together. If we were on iTunes, we know a certain percentage of people would only download two or three songs from the album - and we don't think that represents us musically."[4]
AC/DC was formed in 1973 by brothers Angus and Malcolm Young, and released two albums in Australia before releasing their first international effort, High Voltage with vocalist Bon Scott, bassist Mark Evans and drummer Phil Rudd. In 1980, Bon Scott died less than a year after the release of the successful Highway to Hell, and was replaced by British singer Brian Johnson, with whom AC/DC released their best selling album, Back in Black.[5] Their latest album to date, Black Ice, was released in 2008, selling over 8 million copies worldwide. In 36 years of their career, AC/DC sold over 200 million albums worldwide, roughly 71 million in the US.[6] Back in Black alone sold 22 million (49 million worldwide), and is the 2nd best selling album worldwide.[7][8]
