Back in Black is the seventh studio album recorded by Australian heavy metal band AC/DC; their first album with lead singer Brian Johnson following the death of original lead Bon Scott. It was released in Australia through Albert Recordings, and globally through Atlantic Records, on 25 July 1980.The band had been riding a wave of popularity after the success of their most recent 1979 album, Highway to Hell. Unfortunately, lead vocalist Bon Scott's life of excess caught up to him after a night of drinking in London, when he was found dead in the back seat of his friend's car. At first, the band was unable to keep going, but since they had some material they'd already written, they decided to find a new singer. He was Brian Johnson, a Geordie who Scott had seen before and been impressed by.Long story short, calling Back in Black merely the band's best-selling album is a gross understatement. It has become the second-biggest selling album of all time, with only Thriller by Michael Jackson besting it. Currently, it is certified double-Diamond (25-times Platinum) by the RIAA. It also went 12-times Platinum in Australia, Diamond in Canada, and double-Platinum in the United Kingdom.Four singles were released to support the album: "You Shook Me All Night Long", "Hells Bells", the Title Track, and "Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution". Both "You Shook Me All Night Long" and "Back in Black" were hits in the United States on the Billboard Hot 100. "Hells Bells" would be the highest hit in their native Australia, reaching #7. Three of them also were hits on the UK Pop chart, with "Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution" being the highest there at #15.Music videos were produced for all four singles, as well as for "Let Me Put My Love into You" and "What Do You Do for Money Honey".Not to be mistaken with Back to Black by Amy Winehouse. | |

Minimalistic Cover Art | |
| Back in Black (Music) / int_2e22f7d4 | comment |
Minimalistic Cover Art: One of the best examples ever, and likely an inspiration behind Smell the Glove's cover. The band simply wanted a black cover, with their name and title embossed. They reached a compromise with their logo including a thin grey outline, to make it easier to read. Since most CD copies forewent embossing (due to impracticality), the outline served a later practical purpose. | |

| Back in Black (Music) / int_3e5f74c | comment |
Take That, Critics!: "Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution" was aimed at people who look down upon rock 'n' roll. "Back in Black" was also an intentional Badass Boast to show the critics that the band was still going strong despite the recent tragic events. This got even better when the album became one of the best selling albums of all time! | |

Epic Instrumental Opener | |
| Back in Black (Music) / int_6f2fe973 | comment |
Epic Instrumental Opener: "Hells Bells" doesn't have any vocals until the 1:25 mark. It's also a double example due to being the album's first song. It feels especially long because it's the first song to introduce new vocalist Brian Johnson after the tragically unexpected death of previous, much-beloved frontman and lyricist Bon Scott. First-time listeners in 1980 would've been agonizing with anticipation just waiting to hear what this much-publicized new guy would sound like. | |

Grief Song | |
| Back in Black (Music) / int_e680af6f | comment |
Grief Song: Played with. The title track is more of a tribute, declaring that the band wasn't going anywhere, delivered in typical AC/DC style. "Hells Bells" is a straighter example, being set in a funeral and such. | |
