As expected, AC/DC's "Black Ice" dominates the US album chart this week thanks to 784,000 copies sold during its first week out, despite the fact that the set was sold exclusively through Wal-Mart, Sam's Club and the band's website.

This marks the first time AC/DC has debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 chart, though 1982's "For Those About To Rock We Salute You" climbed to No. 1 in 1982, according to Billboard. Billboard currently bases its flagship album chart on Nielsen SoundScan retail reports.

The Disney soundtrack "High School Musical [ tickets ] 3: Senior Year" enters the chart at No. 2 with sales of 297,000, while T.I. [ tickets ]'s "Paper Trail" slips one rung to No. 3 on sales of 93,000 copies, according to Billboard.
