Since 1975, AC/DC have released 14 studio albums, 4 albums issued in Australia only, 5 live recordings, 13 video collections of concerts and music videos, and 7 box sets.

AC/DC was formed in 1973 by brothers Angus and Malcolm Young, and released two albums in Australia before releasing their first international effort, "High Voltage" with vocalist Bon Scott, bassist Mark Evans and drummer Phil Rudd. In 1980, Bon Scott died a year after the release of the successful "Highway to Hell", and was replaced by British singer Brian Johnson, with whom AC/DC released their best selling album, "Back in Black".cite web | title = Top 100 Albums | work = Recording Industry Association of America | url = http://www.riaa.com/goldandplatinumdata.php?table=tblTop100 | accessdate = 2008-04-24] Their last album to date, "Stiff Upper Lip", was released in 2000. A new album (Black Ice) was announced in 2005, [cite web | url = http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=35867 | title = AC/DC Singer BRIAN JOHNSON: "New Album's Gotta Be Perfect" | work = Blabbermouth.net | date = 2005-04-24 | accessdate = 2008-04-24] and confirmed to be released on October 20, 2008.cite web | url = http://www.acdc.com/news/news.php?uid=17 | title = AC/DC Set To Release New Album This Year | work = AC/DC official website | accessdate = 2008-04-19 | date = 2008-04-18]
