AC/DC have claimed the No.1 spot on the Billboard 200 album chart in the U.S. with their new studio album "PWR/UP", and also made history in their native Australia with the effort.

 
In the U.S. the band enjoyed the largest first week sales week this year for a rock album, according to Billboard. They sold 111,000 copies of the album (CD, digital and vinyl), not counting streaming.
 
They also topped the album chart in Australia and made history at the same time, becoming the first Australian band to score a No.1 album in each of five decades.

AC/DC 
have debuted atop the UK charts. It marks AC/DC's first UK No. 1 in a decade - since they last hit the mark with 2010's "Iron Man 2" soundtrack.
 
According to The Official Charts Company, the band sold 62,000 units to enter No.1 on the weekly list while also earning the biggest opening week sales tally of 2020 to date ... and the fastest-selling album of the year in the region.
 
Angus Young celebrate the historic feat by saying, 
 
"A big shout out to all our fans, old and new. You are, and always have been, our guiding inspiration."
