Woah, Ac/Dc’s Wal-Mart exclusive album “Black Ice” the new album did surprisingly well in salesl!!! It sold 784,000 in it’s first week through Wal-Mart stores. That’s pretty impressive for just a small Wal-Mart chain store. With over 20 years of making music, Ac/Dc had only 2 no. 1 albums in the top 200. The other no. 1 album was “For Those About to Rock We Salute You”.

Some would like to think that Ac/Dc’s essential album “Back In Black” was a no. 1 record, it wasn’t. In fact, that album “Back In Black” didn’t sell too well. That “Back In Black” album became a best selling album later in the years of Ac/Dc not on the week the album was first released.

After months of rumours and speculation the title to the new Ac/Dc album is going to be “Black Ice”. Turns out the rumours are true. The boys in Ac/Dc confirmed the rumours on the band’s official website today. “Black Ice” by Ac/Dc will be sold exclusively at Wal-Mart and Sam Clubs stores only on October 20th. You can also order the album on the band’s official website.

The album’s first single “Rock N’ Roll Train” will hit radio August 28th and the official video of the song will release sometime in September. The band is set to go on a long extensive world tour after the album is released.

Billboard has the tracklisting for the album:

Is the art work in the background of that website the cover art for “Black Ice”? Looks like it.

Looking forward to getting the album and hearing the new song.

Metallica and Ac/Dc coming back with new albums this year, fuckin’ sweet!

If we’re lucky enough, Guns N’ Roses will come out with “Chinese Democracy” this year hopefully and we’ll get three legendary rock bands with new albums this year.

Rock and Roll is trying to make a comeback to the mainstream. Hopefully it’ll destroy pop, rap and country.

Edit to add: Just put the tracklisting for the new album in this post…
