Why it is here
- AC/DC's ongoing Power Up world tour, which continued through 2025 with stadium dates such as Nashville's Nissan Stadium, keeps driving catalog streaming and sales that return "Back in Black" to Billboard's Hard Rock genre charts. source
- The song has repeatedly reappeared on Billboard's Hard Rock Streaming Songs and Hard Rock Digital Song Sales charts through 2025 without any new release, reflecting its status as a recurring catalog staple rather than a fresh hit. source
- As of a November 2025 chart report, the parent album Back in Black was still charting on Billboard's Top Hard Rock Albums list alongside other AC/DC catalog tracks like "Highway to Hell" and "Thunderstruck." source
