Previous to 2012, the band had expressed concern over the effect that breaking an album up into individual tracks might have on listener experience. “We always were a band that if you heard something on the radio, well, that’s only three minutes. Usually the best tracks were on the albums,” AC/DC guitarist Angus Young reportedly [told](http://www.theguardian.com/music/2012/nov/19/ac-dc-release-albums-itunes) Britain’s Sky News in 2011. Still, digital music has been kind to AC/DC. The band’s newest album, “Rock or Bust,” was released in November and was its first new record to be offered digitally. It has since sold over 500,000 copies in the U.S., [according](http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/30/business/media/ac-dc-songs-will-be-added-to-streaming-services-like-apple-music.html) to Nielsen. ### Artists Who Have Never Won A Grammy  Queen John Rodgers—Redferns/Getty Images  Jackson 5 Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images  Spice Girls Ray Burmiston—Photoshot/Getty Images  GLENDALE, AZ - FEBRUARY 01: Recording artist Katy Perry performs onstage during the Pepsi Super Bowl XLIX Halftime Show at University of Phoenix Stadium on February 1, 2015 in Glendale, Arizona.
