AC/DC still shakin' all night long
IT might have been a long way to the top for Australian rockers AC/DC but for more than 25 years that is where they have been.
While most ageing rock bands like the Rolling Stones thrive on touring and best-of compilations, AC/DC continues to have critical acclaim, more recently with its 15th studio album Black Ice.
In its first week, the album sold a staggering 83,500 copies and went straight to No. 1 in Australia and in the UK.
Critics are hailing this album as a return to the immortal 1980s' Back In Black – an album which sits at No. 2 as the biggest-selling album of all time with more than 40 million copies sold. It is beaten only by Michael Jackson's Thriller.

Dollar ends negative run
A lift on Asian bourses also helped support the Australian dollar, Mr Morriss said.
At 1715 AEDT the Korean KOSPI had gained 5.57 per cent while the Nikkei index regained 6.47 per cent after slumping to its lowest level in 26 years yesterday on more fears of a global recession.
Yesterday's close on the Japanese share market was last touched when Michael Jackson's Thriller album was topping the charts.
