On the section when Bon Scott joins the band there is a George mentioned first in the page without any explanation and elaboration or further detail about who is this George. I think it is not okay. Either introduce George or remove, or correct it please. ~2025-37420-61 (talk) 10:03, 30 November 2025 (UTC)
Not done. "I don't like it" is not a reason to remove something. NotJamestack (✉️|📝) 13:28, 30 November 2025 (UTC)
"Back in Black" isn't the second-best selling album of all time???
[edit]Okay, the source for Back In Black lists the song as being the second-best selling album in history.
The problem is, it's listing ESTIMATED sales!
If the table is sorted by verified copies sold, then Back in Black becomes the fourth-best selling album in history.
The sources in which the estimated sales are backing are separate from what the actual organizations in each respective countries are verifiably listing! They should be organized with verified sales first, THEN estimated sales afterwards.
Should we change the article for it to say "Their first album with Johnson, Back in Black (1980), dedicated to Scott's memory, became the fourth best-selling album of all time" ? Barcodc (talk) 13:44, 27 December 2025 (UTC)
- This is per reported sales. That's why it's classified as the second best-selling album of all time. — VJTHEDJ (t) 03:20, 1 February 2026 (UTC)

change "AC/DC are an Australian rock band" to "AC/DC is an Australian rock band" because the grammar is incorrect ~2025-40044-88 (talk) 23:20, 6 January 2026 (UTC)
- Not done The article is written in Australian English, so it is correct to use "are" as the band is a collective. HorrorLover555 (talk) 23:44, 6 January 2026 (UTC)
