AC/DC Brings Multiple Singles Back To The Billboard Charts
"You Shook Me All Night Long" is the highest-flying return from AC/DC at the moment. The familiar cut reenters the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart at No. 10, bringing it to the top 10 once more. At the same time, the fan favorite also improves slightly on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs chart, lifting to No. 21.
Meanwhile, "Thunderstruck" continues to live up to its reputation as AC/DC's biggest hit. The anthem appears on five different rankings this frame, making it the group's most visible song right now.
'Thunderstruck' reappears on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. at No. 178, and its international appeal is on display once more. Simultaneously, it rockets up the Billboard Global 200, which tracks the most-consumed songs worldwide including U.S. figures – while the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. removes sales and streaming info from America – soaring more than 30 spaces to No. 142. That's a new all-time peak for the cut on the planet-spanning roster.
In America, "Thunderstruck" nearly reclaims the throne on several genre-specific lists. It settles at No. 2 on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart, just missing out on the top spot, while also coming in third place on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs ranking. Over on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart, the cut breaks back into the top 10, advancing from No. 11 to No. 9.
It's not just individual tracks that perform well when it comes to AC/DC's catalog. The band's Back in Black album is also enjoying a notable resurgence, as it climbs on three separate Billboard charts this week. On the Top Hard Rock Albums chart, Back in Black finds its way back into the top 10.
The title track from the release is also growing, improving from No. 21 to No. 19 on the Hard Rock Streaming Songs list. It's the only AC/DC tune to appear on a single roster.
Back in Black was originally released in 1980 and remains one of the most successful projects in hard rock history. The album is still actually one of the bestselling full-lengths of all time, regardless of style.

Gwyneth Paltrow is Astronomer's ‘temporary spokesperson' in new video
There's a lot of buzz around Astronomer, the data infrastructure company that skyrocketed into public attention after its executives - now former executives - gave us the viral Coldplay 'kiss cam' moment. With all this recent popularity, the business brought on some extra help, hiring a 'temporary spokesperson' with experience in Coldplay internet fame: Gwyneth Paltrow. Subscribe to The Post Most newsletter for the most important and interesting stories from The Washington Post. 'I've been hired on a very temporary basis to speak on behalf of the 300+ employees at Astronomer,' the actress said in the minute-long video posted to social media Friday. 'Astronomer has gotten a lot of questions over the last few days, and they wanted me to answer the most common ones.' The Goop chief executive happens to be the ex-wife of Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin and co-author of the original 'break-the-internet' breakup statement when the pair announced their 'conscious uncoupling' in 2014. If you're searching for answers to the company's real frequently-asked questions, you won't find them in the tongue-in-cheek clip. The questions 'OMG! What the actual f' and 'How is your social media team holding' get comically cut off by Paltrow as she explained the much less juicy details of Astronomer's business. 'We've been thrilled so many people have a newfound interest in data workflow automation,' Paltrow said. Astronomer's chief executive Andy Byron and human resources chief Kristin Cabot both resigned after they were filmed cuddling at a Coldplay concert in Boston earlier this month. They appeared on the arena video board in a 'kiss cam' segment before looking uncomfortable, with Cabot turning around and Byron ducking out of sight as Martin quipped from the stage that the two might be having an affair. Mark Borkowski, a British public relations and crisis consultant, described using Paltrow to front a video parodying the incident as 'utter genius' that shows the company has a sense of humor. 'It's a savvy use of media to create a viral moment,' he told The Washington Post in a phone interview Saturday. 'In a way you're laughing with everybody else.' Astronomer choosing Paltrow will not go unnoticed, Borkowski said. 'Astronomer is a meme now. Owning the ridiculous nature of how it became a meme is far better than apologizing for it.' A representative for Paltrow didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. As for how he advises clients caught in such situations, Borkowski said acting in a dignified way and 'using as few words as possible' is always the best approach. Paltrow's cameo is reminiscent of the scared Peloton wife discourse from 2019. After actress Monica Ruiz's worry-stricken expression in a Peloton holiday commercial became the butt of internet jokes, she laughed it off, later using her horrified face for an Aviation Gin ad. 'We will now be returning to what we do best: delivering game-changing results for our customers,' Paltrow closed out the ad. 'Thank you for your interest in Astronomer.' - - - Tatum Hunter contributed to this report. Related Content Hulk Hogan was a well-known Trump supporter. Their ties go back 40 years.

How did 'Fantastic Four: First Steps' compare to 'Superman' at the box office?
Who would win in a box-office smackdown between Superman and the Fantastic Four? Superhero movie fans just got the answer − although it's so close that it's practically a draw. Marvel's "The Fantastic Four: First Steps," starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, opened to an impressive $118 million at the domestic box office this weekend, according to estimates released by Comscore on Sunday, July 27. The anticipated numbers put the film's debut just slightly below that of DC's "Superman," with David Corenswet as the Man of Steel, which opened to $125 million at the North American box office earlier this month. Join our Watch Party! Sign up to receive USA TODAY's movie and TV recommendations right in your inbox Released just two weeks apart, "Fantastic Four" and "Superman" have a lot in common, as both are new interpretations of iconic superhero characters whose recent cinematic renditions were poorly received. The last Fantastic Four movie was the critically reviled 2015 bomb "Fantastic Four," which opened to just $25 million domestically. Superman, meanwhile, was coming off a series of movies from director Zack Snyder, whose darker vision for the character was divisive. The two movies were also similarly crucial for the future of their respective franchises. The stars of "Fantastic Four: First Steps" will return in "Avengers: Doomsday" (expected Dec. 18, 2026), a major event film for Marvel, meaning the group's debut movie performing poorly would have spelled trouble for Disney. The same could be said for DC, given that "Superman" is the first film in a relaunched cinematic universe that has numerous more entries on the way, including next summer's "Supergirl" (June 26, 2026), starring Milly Alcock. In the end, both Marvel and DC can breathe a sigh of relief. "Fantastic Four" and "Superman" not only each opened well at the box office, but also earned positive reviews from critics and the exact same A- grade from audiences polled by CinemaScore, a research firm that surveys moviegoers at theaters. Also breathing a sigh of relief? Movie theaters, which had a strong July between the pair of superhero blockbusters and "Jurassic World Rebirth" with its solid $148 million five-day holiday debut at the start of the month. But not even superheroes and dinosaurs were enough to steal the seasonal box-office crown from "Lilo & Stitch." After snagging a huge $146 million three-day debut in May, the Disney live-action remake still holds the title of biggest opening weekend of the summer, and it's the only Hollywood movie to pass $1 billion worldwide so far this year. "First Steps" is the first "Fantastic Four" film released as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, after the characters were previously owned by 20th Century Fox. It's also Marvel's third movie of 2025, after "Captain America: Brave New World" and "Thunderbolts*," but first to open to more than $100 million domestically over three days.

DC Brought Green Arrow and a Fighting Tournament to Comic-Con
DC didn't come to San Diego Comic-Con with any major movies on hand, but it did bring a TV show and some comics for the tri. On the comics side, the publisher shed more light on some recently revealed books, including DC KO starting in October. Written by Scott Snyder and drawn by Javier Fernandez, the limited series sees 32 fighters enter a tournament that'll see the winner be strong enough to fight Darkseid in his new King Omega form. The fighters range from A-listers like Superman (using miniature sun-powered brass knuckles), Wonder Woman, and Supergirl to fan favorites like Swamp Thing, Zatanna, and Guy Gardner. Batman may not be amongst the roster, as he'll be fighting adult versions of his Robins who've since taken up his mantle in Joshua Williamson and Dan Mora's Knightfight spinoff. DC hasn't listed all of KO's fighters yet, but fans can keep track of them all and chart the tournament with a bracket. During the DC All In panel, Snyder described the event as 'Squid Game meets Mortal Kombat but fun,' and labeled it a Superman story akin to how the two Metal events centered about Batman and Wonder Woman. (You could also consider this an appetite for Injustice 3 until the real thing eventually comes out.) The event will also lead to tie-in stories spread across The Flash, Titans, Superman, and Justice League Unlimited, plus the Omega Act prelude by Williamson and Yasmine Putri. As for DC's recent Absoluteuniverse, that's also getting some shakeups starting in the fall. October's Absolute Evil one-shot from Al Ewing, Giuseppe Camuncoli, and Stefano Nesi will see this world's versions of Ra's al Ghul, Joker, Elenore Thawne, and other villains go at each other when they catch wind of a traitor in their midst. The one-shot will introduce two Absolute characters that will 'change the course of [this] universe' as it enters year two. Also coming in year two? The Absolute versions of Wonder Woman and Batman meeting in her book, while Bats' solo will bring in mainstays like Catwoman, Scarecrow, and Dick Grayson. Writer Scott Snyder teased other Batfamily members may make their Absolute debuts in Absolute Batman as the comic continues on. For the wider universe, the fallout of Evil will be felt in Absolute Green Arrow from Pornsak Pichetshote and Rafael Albequerque. Unlike these versions of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman who've been crafted by Darkseid without defining parts of their character, this Oliver Queen remains a billionaire with an affinity for archery. But Pichetshote explained Oliver is inspired by what goes down in Evil to essentially be a better billionaire and fight crime. Unlike the other Absolute titles, though, this one is a six-issue series that'll kick off spring 2026—but that they're introducing another hero to the lineup indicates the Absolute universe has further expansions planned, be they miniseries or ongoing.
