Australian rock band AC/DC have released 18 studio albums, two soundtrack albums, three live albums, one extended play, 57 singles, 11 video albums, 52 music videos and two box sets. Although many AC/DC singles have been released, the band refused to issue any greatest hits albums.[1] Who Made Who, which served as the soundtrack to Stephen King's film Maximum Overdrive, Iron Man 2 and the band's various live recordings are the closest they have issued to such a compilation.[2]

Brothers Angus (lead guitar) and Malcolm Young (rhythm guitar) formed AC/DC in 1973.[3][4] The band released two albums in Australasia before issuing their first international album, High Voltage in 1976; the Youngs had been joined by vocalist Bon Scott, bass guitarist Mark Evans and drummer Phil Rudd.[3][4] In 1980, less than a year after the appearance of the successful Highway to Hell, Scott died and was replaced by English singer Brian Johnson, with whom AC/DC released their best-selling album, Back in Black.[3][4][5] The album Black Ice, from 2008, reached number one in 29 countries.[6] In 50 years of their career, AC/DC have sold over 200 million albums worldwide, roughly 100 million in the United States.[7] Back in Black sold 50 million copies worldwide, and became the second best-selling album in history.[8]

Verizon made AC/DC albums available for digital download in 2007;[9] for five years the band refused to release their albums via iTunes, as that company allows downloading of individual tracks.[10] Angus Young observed, "We honestly believe the songs on any of our albums belong together. If we were on iTunes, we know a certain percentage of people would only download two or three songs from the album – and we don't think that represents us musically."[10] However, in November 2012, the band relented and released their entire discography via iTunes.[11] On 30 June 2015, their catalogue appeared on Spotify for the first time, which made their works available for streaming.[12] Their most certified singles in the US are "You Shook Me All Night Long" and "Back in Black" (both 1980) – each have received 3× platinum from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 2019.[13] In Australia, "Thunderstruck" (1990) was accredited 10× platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) in 2022.[14]
