According to a new Forbes study, AC/DC frequently moves up and down many Billboard lists. The hard rock band usually has at least one album that is successful enough to make a few lists, as well as multiple songs. While it is fairly uncommon to see the group’s name on weekly rankings, they do not often have the opportunity to rule. This week, AC/DC takes over again. This frame, the band returns to the top of not one, but two different Billboard charts, as one of their most popular songs is once again a hit. “Thunderstruck” has risen to the top of two American charts this week. The single moves up one spot on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs list to reclaim its dominance. The hit trades places with “Everlong” by Foo Fighters, which dips to second place.
Over on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales, the same beloved tune is also in charge. “Thunderstruck” bolts from #3 to #1, appearing as the bestselling hard rock cut in the country. It takes over for Nickelback’s “Rockstar,” which was, appropriately, based on its name, ruling last time around.
“Thunderstruck” is about to hit a very momentous milestone on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart. This frame marks its fifty-first running the show on the tally. If it can muster one more at some point, it will become the rare smash to spend 52 weeks, or an entire year, atop any Billboard list.
