AC/DC :: Charts & Sales History

[theMathematician]

'Rock Or Bust' had a massive opening (~ 250k?) and ended up reaching diamond status in Germany, so I'm curious about 'Power Up's performance there.

179K in its first week in Austria, Germany and Switzerland.
31K of them are in Switzerland, so 148K in Austria and Germany.

They’ve always sold lots of albums in Germany! Black Ice sold a million copies there.

Is there a source for that?

We never get figures from Switzerland, that's why I'm curious.

Anyways, 31k in Switzerland is absolutely huge. Platinum is 20k, so that's already halfway to double Platinum

[theMathematician]

'Power Up' reached platinum for 15k+ shipped copies in Austria.

Germany:
1 (1) Power Up 2 weeks (No. 1 for 2 weeks) *re-peak*

It should be eligible for platinum now.

AC/DC sell 348,000 albums worldwide of 'Power up'. I don't think they sold 148 k in Switzerland, Germany and Austria..the total would have been more.

The official source (offiziellecharts.de) claims that it sold close to 160k copies in its first week in Germany alone, which are the biggest first week sales of the week thus far. Along with its 2nd week sales (Not announced, but I can't imagine them dropping more than 75% in week 2, which would be ~ 40k), they are definitely eligible for platinum by now.

It sold 160k+117k+62k~339k copies in the three countries UK, US and Germany alone.

yeah I think MT's estimates are too conservative, I believe they still have a massive following in LatAm countries too

They probably heavily underestimated Germany's sales, which makes no sense because their last album sold 250k copies in its first week and reached diamond status. There was no evidence to assume that they'd drop severely in terms of popularity here.

Don’t forgot more and more people are streaming now.

Austria, Germany and Switzerland are 180K first week, US 117K, UK 62K and France 37K, so 396K only from these countries, they are at least 520-540K in its first week in the world.

You're talking about Germany, where physical records are highly valued and where cult acts actually have a following. They don't get dropped like a hot potato around here, unlike the US.

Power Up probably did over 40,000 in week two. In just 3 weeks, PU is the best-selling album of the year in Germany:

They must be over 300,000, right?


Following the reopening of non-essential stores, the album takes the first position in France with 31,534 units!

Week 1: 36,509 #01 (NE)

Week 2: ~10,000 #05 (-4) (46,000)

Week 3: 31,534 #01 (+4) (77,000)


"Power Up" is No. 1 for a thrid week in Australia.

It entered with 21,535 units, the best start of 2020. "Rock or Bust" did 28,190 units in 2014, it is therefore a very good support despite the fall in the market.

"Power Up" also had gold in its first week in Spain (20,000 shipments)!

I would say ~ 250k. My estimation would go like this: 160k - 50k - 35k.

[Rockintunesbaby]

Its holding up pretty well in the UK. The first rock album that I remember that has managed 3 weeks in the top 5! 1 - 3 - 5
