AC/DC's new album will be available exclusively in chains of Wal-Mart, according to a new report.

The as-yet-untitled record, which is produced by Brendan O'Brien, will go on sale at chains of the American department store later this year.

Today's reports, published in the Wall Street Journal, suggest that the band will follow veteran act The Eagles, who chose to release 'Long Road Out Of Eden' via Wal-Mart last winter.

The album has gone on to sell almost 3million copies in the US alone – and topped the charts in its first week.

AC/DC's last studio effort came with 'Stiff Upper Lip' in 2000. The band are expected to confirm tour plans to coincide with the release.
