- More AC/DC
AC/DC have scored their first UK album number one since 1980 with 'Black Ice'.
The band's new album outsold its nearest rival – Kaiser Chiefs' 'Off With Their Heads' – by nearly two copies to one.
Kaiser Chiefs' third album went in at two on the chart, while former X Factor contestant Leon Jackson was a new entry at four.
AC/DC's last chart topping album in the UK, 'Back in Black', came during a similar period of financial instability.
The band's repeat feat has led to the suggestion that people turn to their music in times of insecurity in a bid to find something dependable.
All the more remarkable about the band's latest chart success is that 'Black Ice' is only available on CD and vinyl. AC/DC have refrained from allowing fans to download their music.
Meanwhile, in the albums charts, Girls Aloud's 'The Promise' is a new entry at number one, 'Wire To Wire' by Razorlight has climbed to number five.
