It was this week in 1981, that my favorite AC/DC album 'Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap' was released here in the United States. The album had came out in Australia four years earlier. It was worth the wait as Americans went out and bought the collection and it made up to #3 on the charts. At last count 2 million copies have been sold here in the U.S.A.

According to Billboard Magazine, who compiled the following AC/DC list of the bands top 10 biggest albums on the Billboard 200 chart (based on number of albums sold).
