.
Key Information:
- Significance: It's the last album to feature lead singer Bon Scott, who died shortly after its release in February 1980. This fact has added a layer of meaning to the album and its title track, which some see as reflecting Scott's lifestyle.
- Producer: It's the first of three albums produced by Robert John "Mutt" Lange, whose high-definition style contributed significantly to the band's sound on this album.
- Commercial Success: The album was a major success, helping AC/DC reach new heights of stardom. It has been certified 7x Platinum by the RIAA and has sold over 9.4 million copies worldwide.

- Legacy: The album is considered a classic and a cornerstone of hard rock. The title track, in particular, is a well-known anthem. "Night Prowler" has gained some infamy due to its alleged association with serial killer Richard Ramirez.
"Highway to Hell" is an essential album in AC/DC's discography, showcasing the band at the height of their powers with Bon Scott and setting the stage for their even greater success with Back in Black.
