AC/DC Barely Misses Out On Scoring Another No. 1 With One Of Their Biggest Singles
AC/DC’s heyday came long before streaming platforms took over the music industry. While many of their more contemporary counterparts in the hard rock world have found great success on some of Billboard’s streaming-only charts, the Australian favorites have only secured a few smashes. Just those tunes from their back catalog that have stood the test of time have managed to reach some of those lists, and this time around, one of them almost conquered a tally for the first time
“You Shook Me All Night Long” rises once again on Billboard’s Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart. This week, the tune pushes one slot higher, settling at No. 2 on the list of the most-streamed cuts in the country that have been classified as hard rock in terms of style.
AC/DC barely misses out on scoring another No. 1 hit on the ranking this frame. Only one track keeps the superstar from ruling—and it’s one that is usually in charge of the tally. “Everlong” by Foo Fighters is running the show once again, as it keeps first place for its seventy-ninth nonconsecutive period.
“You Shook Me All Night Long” is not new to the runner-up rung on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart. The track reached No. 2 for the first time only recently, though. In July of this year, the track rose to its all-time high, and so far, it hasn’t been able to push past that number.
AC/DC has only placed four singles onto the Hard Rock Streaming Songs list, and half of them have spent time at No. 1. “Thunderstruck” ranks as the band’s longest-running winner, as it’s earned eight stays in the penthouse. “Highway to Hell,” meanwhile, has managed just two.
The group’s other two wins on the streaming-only roster have both come very close to returning AC/DC to the throne. In addition to “You Shook Me All Night Long” peaking at No. 2, “Back in Black” rose as high as No. 3.
