To mark the occasion, AC/DC's own website is streaming the song non-stop and radio stations, both online and traditional, have enthusiastically premiered the track at various special times throughout the morning to the delighted approval of fans around the globe.

I understand they made over 12 million last year ..just from royalties...

 

That's alot of money and I'm not saying I wouldn't take it but look at this...

 

The top tours of 2007 were:

 

The Police - $212 million (£105 million)

Genesis - $129 million (£64 million)

Justin Timberlake - $126.8 million (£62.9 million)

Kenny Chesney- $71.2 million (£35.3 million

Rod Stewart - $70 million (£34.7 million)

Cirque Du Soleil's Delirium - $59.4 million (£29.5 million)

Roger Waters - $53.2 million (£26.4 million)

Tim McGraw/Faith Hill - $52.3 million (£25.9 million)

Christina Aguilera - $48.1 million (£23.8 million)

Rascal Flatts - $41.6 million (£20.6 million)

 

It appears those are just tour numbers. I'm guessing that is not for record sales, any appearances beyond the tour, other endorsements or contracts, sales of items at concerts, etc.

 

It'll be interesting to see the final numbers for their tour when they are done......I would bet it would be in the neighborhood of that list.
