Their latest album to date, " Black Ice " , was released in 2008, selling over 8 million copies worldwide.

In 36 years of their career, AC/DC sold over 200 million albums worldwide, roughly 71 million in the US. " Back in Black " alone sold 22 million (49 million worldwide) , and is the 2nd best selling album worldwide .

AC/DC have released 19 studio albums, 4 albums issued in Australia only, 3 live recordings, 12 video collections of concerts and music videos, and 2 box sets. Although a large number of AC/DC singles have been released, the band always refused to release any greatest hits type packages.
