AC/DC is back on the 'Rock N Roll Train' and steamrolling through with renewed vigor.
On the band's first North American tour since singer Brian Johnson, 77, was forced to leave the road in 2016 because of severe hearing loss, the quintet powered up, around and through US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis at the April 10 kickoff.
The tour named for the 2020 'Power Up' album – the band's first since AC/DC guitarist and co-founder Malcolm Young died in 2017 – loped through a round of European dates from May to August last year, but that hardly diminished the quintet's stamina.
Angus Young, still sporting his schoolboy uniform of shorts, tie, crew socks and black shoes, extracted roars from the sold-out stadium crowd every time he blistered his fingers during solos on classic rock mainstays ('Back in Black,' 'Highway to Hell') and album cuts ('Have a Drink on Me,' 'Riff Raff') alike. Johnson, meanwhile, has a well-preserved shriek to accompany his wild-eyed delivery and appeared gleeful as he waved his arms and shimmied a hip through 'Whole Lotta Rosie' and 'You Shook Me All Night Long.'
The band – Johnson, Young, rhythm guitarist Stevie Young, drummer Matt Laug and bassist Chris Chaney – thundered through a 21-song set rife with fist-pumping hits.
Here are the songs the band is playing on this 13-date stadium tour with The Pretty Reckless opening.

The top song that came out the year you were born
BI looked at Billboard's year-end No. 1 singles since 1940 to determine the top song from each year. The list includes Bing Crosby, Elvis Presley, Prince, Whitney Houston, Adele, Dua Lipa, and more. The biggest song of 2024 was "Lose Control" by Teddy Swims, according to Billboard. Take a look back at the defining hit from each year since 1940, listed below in chronological order. Kirsten Acuna contributed reporting. 1940: "I'll Never Smile Again" by Tommy Dorsey For songs prior to 1946, before Billboard's year-end list existed, we looked at the singles that stayed at No. 1 on the Billboard charts the longest. "I'll Never Smile Again" by Tommy Dorsey, which also features backing vocals from Frank Sinatra and the Pied Pipers, spent a dozen weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's singles chart. 1941: "Amapola (Pretty Little Poppy)" by Jimmy Dorsey Originally written by Spanish-American composer José Maria Lacalle Garcia, Jimmy Dorsey's popular version of the song remained at No. 1 on the Billboard charts for 10 weeks. Glenn Miller's "Chattanooga Choo Choo" was a close second for top song of 1941. It spent nine weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard singles chart. 1942: "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby Bing Crosby's version of the Irving Berlin song, which was featured in the film "White Christmas," holds the record for being the best-selling single since 2012. According to Guinness World Records, the holiday classic has sold an estimated 50 million copies. 1943: "I've Heard That Song Before" by Harry James "I've Heard That Song Before" appeared in the 1942 film "Youth on Parade" and was nominated for best original song at the Oscars.

Les Brown and Doris Day's "Sentimental Journey" also spent the same number of weeks atop the chart. 1946: "The Gypsy" by The Ink Spots Perry Como's "Prisoner of Love" may have been Billboard's year-end top single of the year, but the magazine voted "The Gypsy" as the year's top tune. 1948: "Buttons and Bows" by Dinah Shore Though Pee Wee Hunt's "Twelfth Street Rag" was the year-end No. 1 Billboard single of the year, the magazine named Dinah Shore's "Buttons and Bows" No. 1 on "the honor roll of hits" and the top "disk in the nation's jukeboxes." 1949: "Riders in the Sky (A Cowboy Legend)" by Vaughn Monroe Numerous recordings of Vaughn Monroe's country-western song have been made over the years by the likes of Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, and even Sesame Street. 1950: "Goodnight, Irene" by Gordon Jenkins and The Weavers The Weavers' version of "Goodnight, Irene" was released a year after the death of Lead Belly, who sang the song first. 1951: "Too Young" by Nat King Cole "Too Young" was originally written by Sidney Lippman and Sylvia Dee. 1952: "Blue Tango" by Leroy Anderson Leroy Anderson's instrumental recording was the top Billboard song and seller of the year. 1953: "The Song From Moulin Rouge (Where Is Your Heart)" by Percy Faith 1954: "Little Things Mean A Lot" by Kitty Kallen Kitty Kallen's version of the 1953 hit "Little Things Mean A Lot" is the most popular version of the song.

The rapper had another big hit that year when his song "In My Feelings" became a meme. 2019: "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X featuring Billy Ray Cyrus Lil Nas X enlisted Billy Ray Cyrus for a remix of "Old Town Road" because he was a childhood fan of "Hannah Montana," in which Cyrus costarred with his daughter, Miley Cyrus.

It also became the fastest song in history to be certified diamond. 2020: "Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd Less than one year after "Blinding Lights" was crowned Billboard's top song of 2020, it was named the top Hot 100 song of all time.

The sleeper hit, written solely by Glass Animals front man Dave Bayley, reigned atop the chart for five straight weeks and ended the year as Billboard's top-performing hit.

(It has since been broken again by "Lose Control" by Teddy Swims.) An honorable mention goes out to "As It Was" by Harry Styles, which ended 2022 as Billboard's second-biggest song.

Kaitlin Butts fakes wardrobe malfunction to help with best friend's proposal
It turns out some wardrobe malfunctions come with a romantic ending. On July 20, country music singer Kaitlin Butts shared a video on TikTok of her inviting her longtime best friend and tour manager, Sophia Wells, onto the stage to help her fix a wardrobe malfunction. But the wardrobe malfunction was staged — and what happened next was worth the deception. As Wells was tying the back of Butts' corset, the singer reminisced on their close friendship. 'I'm kind of glad this is happening,' Butts said into the mic. 'We actually met here in Oklahoma City about 13 years ago. This is my college roommate from Oklahoma City, we went to college here.' The video was taken during her July 12 show at The Zoo Amphitheatre in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, per Concert Archives. 'Two years ago today, or this month I guess, this beautiful woman,' she said of Wells, who attempted to walk away before Butts brought her back on stage. 'This is a special moment for me,' she added. Butts went on to recall how Wells sent her a direct message two years ago telling her that her guitar player was 'really cute.' Wells then asked if Butts needed a background singer — which led to her becoming Butts' tour manager. 'I'm just honored to have her,' Butts continued into the mic. 'And I think she should turn around right now, too.' When Wells turned around, her now-fiancé, Adam Duran, was down on one knee with a ring in his hand. 'And that's the story of how my college roommate became my tour manager,' Butts wrote in a text overlay. 'And how my tour manager and my guitar player found love.' 'And it all started with a DM,' she added. Fans took to the comment section to share their excitement. 'And once again, I'm crying for strangers on the internet,' one fan wrote. 'The opposite of Coldplay Jumbotron vibes. Congrats to the happy couple!' another fan commented. 'She's so good at her job that now she's gonna be saving you on one less room during tours! congrats to the happy couple!!' a third fan joked. But while Wells and Duran were busy securing their love, Butts decided to keep her own love (and old love) just as close. On July 14, Butts took to Instagram to reveal that one of her ex-boyfriends was in the band that opened for her and another one of her exes was the program director for the venue she performed at. According to The Oklahoman, Butts is married to Cleto Cordero, the lead singer and guitarist of Flatland Cavalry — the band that she performed with on July 12. 'All my exes live in Oklahoma lol (no bad blood tho with these ones, thank gawd),' she wrote in the caption. Butts is a Tulsa native now based in Nashville, per the Grand Ole Opry. Her latest album 'Roadrunner' was released in June 2024. Butts will be performing shows across the country through Jan. 30 with her next show scheduled for Aug. 2 at the Surly Brewing Co. in Minneapolis, Minnesota, according to her website.
