AC/DC kicked off its hugely successful Black Ice World Tour in late October and the press can't stop raving about the band's incredible live performance. The Chicago Tribune called the group's live show "a celebration of all that is great about rock 'n' roll," while The Boston Globe exclaimed "AC/DC is the greatest band ever." The tour is currently making its way across the United States before heading to Europe. Click here for the full itinerary.

Released globally on October 20, 2008, "Black Ice" is AC/DC's first new album in over eight years and it's evident the band are still an incredible force in rock. The Washington Post noted that "'Black Ice' is the best record the band has made in decades" and People magazine put it best by saying "'Black Ice' finds the Australian rockers at their headbanging, power-chord-crunching best." "Rock N Roll Train", the first single from "Black Ice", has been nominated for a Grammy Award in the category of Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals. This is AC/DC's fifth Grammy Award nomination.

"Black Ice" made history debuting at #1 on album charts in 29 countries and also has the distinction of being Columbia Records' biggest debut album (since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales data for Billboard in March of 1991). "Black Ice" has been certified multi-platinum in eight countries, including the U.S., Australia, Canada, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Germany and the Czech Republic. Additionally, "Black Ice" has achieved platinum status in twelve countries (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, UK, Argentina, Singapore and New Zealand) and gold status in four countries (Netherland, Spain, Poland and Brazil).

With over 6 million copies of "Black Ice" shipped worldwide, combined with over 5.5 million in catalog sold this year, AC/DC has surpassed THE BEATLES as the #1-selling catalog artist in the U.S. for 2008. In the U.S., "Black Ice" is being sold exclusively at Wal-Mart, Sam's Club, and www.acdc.com.
