AC/DC’s Electrifying Single Is A Top 10 Hit Again On Every U.S. Chart

“Thunderstruck” is a hit for the ages — the type of smash most musical acts can only dream of. It wasn’t just a massive success when it first arrived, but it has also stood the test of time. 35 years into its lifetime, the electrifying cut continues to keep AC/DC on charts around the world.

This week, the song ranks as a powerful bestseller on several Billboard tallies. “Thunderstruck” currently appears on three U.S.-based rankings, and amazingly, even after three and a half decades of success, the tune secures a top 10 position on all of them.

AC/DC Almost Returns to No. 1

The single performs best on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart, where it nearly rules once again, shooting from No. 5 to No. 2. It also becomes a top 10 bestseller once more on the Rock Digital Song Sales tally, returning to the uppermost tier as it thunders from No. 15 to No. 9.

“Thunderstruck” is a Streaming Smash as Well

The single typically performs best in terms of pure purchases, but Americans also love streaming “Thunderstruck” on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. This time around, the tune climbs five spaces to No. 4 on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs ranking.

A Decade of “Thunderstruck”

“Thunderstruck” has already ruled both the Hard Rock Streaming Songs and Hard Rock Digital Song Sales charts. It has so far peaked in the runner-up space on the Rock Digital Song Sales tally and has spent hundreds of frames on each list. This week, the cut reaches a major milestone, hitting 520 frames on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart — a full decade’s worth of charting.

AC/DC’s Sole Global Success

AC/DC also manages one worldwide smash at the moment, and again, it’s “Thunderstruck.” This week, the track bolts nearly 30 spaces north on the Billboard Global 200, landing at No. 155 in its ninety-fifth turn on the list.
