Rock Or Bust debuts at #3 on Billboard 200
If rock and roll is dead, someone didn't tell AC/DC. The new AC/DC album Rock or Bust has debuted at number 3 on the Billboard 200 chart. It sits below pop singer-songwriter Taylor Swift's 1989 and a capella vocal group Pentatonix's That's Christmas To Me, both having held their previous week's position at numbers 1 and 2, respectively and having stayed on the charts for 6 and 7 weeks, respectively. The album also sits at the number 1 position on Billboard's Top Rock Albums chart, once again, in its first week on the chart.
Overall, this is a very strong showing for the band's new album, and a definite show of support from the fans on the first album without founding guitarist Malcolm Young. It currently sits two spots below the peak chart position of the band's previous studio album, Black Ice, although that looks to be a hard fight with how hot Taylor Swift's chart presence is right now, but it beats the peak position of the compilation album Iron Man 2 that was released between the time of the two albums.
