AC/DC Merchandise and Music Therapy?

AC/DC merch and LP `Black Ice` has been one of the biggest sellers in the world this year and in America, it has now passed the benchmark 2x platinum and you thought Kiss was big.

‘Black Ice’ broke an 8-year drought for new music from the band. It was the follow-up to ‘Stiff Upper Lip’ at the start of the century.

In Australia, per capita, ‘Black Ice’ has done twice as good as it did in the USA. Australia has accredited the album 4x platinum.

This week’s sales for ‘Black Ice’ added up to 262,097. It will sell more than 280,000 by the end of this week. Platinum is awarded after 70,000 units are shipped to stores in Australia.

The AC/DC ‘Black Ice’ world tour has dates through to the middle of 2009 now. The band is expected to announce the Australia leg of the tour in January for the end of 09.

AC/DC Music Room?

Taking a slight detour from the highway to hell, AC/DC lead singer Brian Johnson delivered an early Christmas gift for sick children at a Sarasota hospital.

Johnson dedicated a music room at Sarasota Memorial Hospital on Monday. Nearly $20,000 for the room came through the John Entwistle Foundation, a group founded in honor of the late bass player for The Who. Johnson, AC/DC bassist Cliff Williams and drummer Steve Luongo - the foundation's director and former bandmate of Entwistle - raised money for the room with gigs last year.

Dr. Jennifer Mayer, a pediatric oncologist, says music therapy can help children who are anxious about surgery and illness.

The room includes an electronic drum kit, guitars, a keyboard and a computer with music recording software.
