AC/DC- Back in Black – Certified units sold: 25 million
The Australian rock group AC/DC’s seventh studio album is titled Back in Black. It was made available on July 25th, 1980 by Atlantic Records and Albert Productions.
After the passing of previous lead singer Bon Scott, lead singer Brian Johnson appears on the band’s first album.
Scott passed away in February 1980 from alcohol poisoning following a drinking binge, which delayed AC/DC’s plans to record a follow-up to their commercial success album Highway to Hell from 1979.
Instead of breaking up, they chose to carry on and hired Johnson, a former Geordie vocalist.
Johnson, Angus, and Malcolm Young wrote the music for the album, which was produced by Robert John “Mutt” Lange, who had also worked on Highway to Hell, over the course of seven weeks in the Bahamas in April and May 1980.
Back in Black was finished and then mixed at New York City’s Electric Lady Studios. The all-black album artwork was chosen as a “sign of mourning” for Scott.
