21 Million copies of Back in Black have been sold in America.
AC/DC's 1980 breakthrough "Back in Black" has been certified for U.S. shipments of 21 million copies, tying it for fifth place with Billy Joel's "Greatest Hits Vol. 1 & II" on the Recording Industry Assn. of America's all-time best-sellers list.
Helen of Troy
Eden Espinosa and Alice Ripley will lend their voices to a June 13 concert that will feature songs from "Helen of Troy", a new musical with a score by Brian Johnson of the Australian heavy metal band AC/DC.
Also due to perform at the Canal Room event are Cary Shields, Brandi Chavonne Massey, Klea Blackhurst, Will Swenson and Shannon Connelly.
Johnson's collaborators on the project include fellow musician Brendan Healy, and the book writing team of Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, screenwriters of the film "The Commitments". The score is described as a mix of rock and roll, R&B and pop.
As the title amply suggests, the show takes as its inspiration from the classical tale of Helen, for whom a thousand Greek ships sailed to war against Troy.
AC/DC is the long-standing rock outfit known for dressing in prep school outfits, cranking up the volume to "10," and penning cheeky songs with titles like "You Shook Me All Night Long", "Dirty Deeds (Done Dirt Cheap)", "Highway to Hell", and "Hell's Bells". The group hit a high point in the early '80s with its million-selling album "Back in Black".
His background notwithstanding, Johnson said in a statement, "I love musical theatre, especially the classic stuff, like Rodgers and Hammerstein."
