AC/DC's “Back in Black” music video continues to rock as the visual hits one billion views on YouTube. It's the Australian band's second video to join the Billion Views club, following their hit “Thunderstruck”.
In the music video, the group performs the high-energy hit on a small stage, as frontman Brian Johnson says, “Back in black / I hit the sack / I've too long, I'm happy to be back.”
The classic song serves as AC/DC's 1980 self-titled album, marking their best-selling LP. Back to black found guitarist Angus Young, rhythm guitarist Malcolm Young, bassist Cliff Williams and drummer Phil Rudd joining forces with new singer Brian Johnson (ex-glam outfit Georgie) and working again with Full speed to hell Producer Robert John “Mutt” Lange in the Bahamas to pick up the tracks, a few months after frontman Bon Scott's death on February 19, 1980 at the age of 33.
Peaking at No. 4 on the Billboard 200, Back to black it was the band's first top 10 album and spawned their first top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with “You Shook Me All Night Long” (No. 35 peak).
