AC/DC Top Album Charts In 29 Countries With 'Black Ice'

AC/DC have hit the top spot in 29 countries with their new album 'Black Ice'.

The record, which was released last week, is number one in the UK, US, Canada and a host of major European cities.

It also holds the top spot in New Zealand, Japan and Argentina.

In America, 'Black Ice' sold 780,0000 copies in its first week despite its release being confined to Walmart retail stores.

All the more remarkable about the band's latest chart success is that 'Black Ice' is only available on CD and vinyl.

AC/DC have refrained from allowing fans to download their music in a bid to ensure their albums are purchased as a complete package.
