Among the various certifications issued by the Recording Industry Association (RIAA) in May is a truly notable achievement for Australian hard rock act AC/DC. The group's 1980 breakthrough "Back in Black" was certified for U.S. shipments of 21 million copies, tying it for fifth place on the RIAA's all-time best-sellers list.
"Back in Black" is now tied on the all-time list with Billy Joel's "Greatest Hits Vol. 1 & II," which reached 21 million in 2000. The leader of the list remains "Eagles/Their Greatest Hits" (Asylum), last certified in 2002 at 28 million. In second is Michael Jackson's "Thriller" (Epic), which reached 27 million in an April RIAA accounting, followed by Pink Floyd's "The Wall" (23 million/1999; Capitol) and "Led Zeppelin IV" (22 million/1999; Atlantic).
AC/DC also earned a triple-platinum certification in May for 1976's "High Voltage."
