AC/DC‘s Angus Young has explained the idea behind the title of the band’s new album ‘Power Up’.‘Power Up’ came out earlier this month, and became the fastest-selling album of 2020.“I went through everything — like titles in songs,” Young told Australian radio station Triple M of the selection process for the album title.“In the song ‘Realize’, there’s the line, ‘I’ve got the power to mesmerise.’ The word ‘power,’ it goes back to the name AC/DC.

We always looked at ourselves as that of power, electric power.“So I just wanted another, if you could say, okay, what could you call AC/DC, and you say they’re power.

And I just thought something positive: power up. When we get on a stage, we plug in the guitars and everything powers up when we’re.
