AC/DC has produced some of the biggest hits of all time in the hard rock genre. A number of their singles are still played non-stop to this day by fans of the style, and they remain powerful sellers, streamers, and a force to be reckoned with whenever they tour. This week, the band watches as one of their classics doesn’t just continue to chart, but reaches heights it’s never known before.
“You Shook Me All Night Long” jumps up the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart this week, Billboard’s ranking of the most-streamed cuts in the harder styles of rock and roll. This frame, the tune surges from No. 6 to No. 4.
Amazingly, No. 4 now stands as the highest point ever for the single on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs tally. On other lists, the tune has performed similarly well–or even better–but it’s never risen this high on the streaming-only roster.
“You Shook Me All Night Long” was released in 1980, and impressively, it’s still charting–and reaching new high points–more than 40 years later. The track was selected as the lead single from the band’s album Back in Black. That set has gone on to become one of the top-performing rock releases ever, and the song is one of the most easily recognizable tunes in the hard rock world.
