“FOR THE SONG. I’m not playing “: Dangerous Dave, the longtime Triple M announcer, has become a live kid this morning.
Triple M announcer “Dangerous” Dave Williams was a scoundrel this morning, pausing the station’s ‘Rock’s Greatest Hits 600’ countdown and flatly refusing to play the next song.
Dave was counting down the polls voted by listeners of the 600 best rock songs of all time, when he reached number 149, and distrusted the outcome.
“Reaching number 149 in the countdown is Back in black. It’s AC / DC, and stop it. STOP THE SONG, “he ordered.
“ACDC, Back in black? At 149? I apologize. I will do no accept this “.

He then received a couple of calls from listeners who were equally surprised by the “terrible” result of one of the most iconic hard rock songs of all time, although at least one admitted that he didn’t really he had voted in the countdown.
“What happened? It’s a fact, people think, ‘Oh, Back in black it will be there: I will not vote for it, someone else will vote for it “.
“I’m not playing. I won’t play 149, I refuse to play Back in black there. Every time we count down, it’s a fact … Back in blackTop 10.
He then promised to create a new countdown number, “27a”, to air the song.
It was definitely a low result for a song that has traditionally been on the charts of the best rock songs ever.
VH1 placed it fourth on a list of best metal songs, and later named it the second best hard rock song ever by the same release.
And in 2010, the song came in second on Triple M’s Ultimate 500 Rock Countdown. The top five were all AC / DC songs.
In fact, the song was only a modest hit on the charts when it was first released in 1980, reaching only 65 on the charts here in Australia and 35 on the US.
However, his masterpiece of the same name is one of the best-selling rock albums of all time, selling close to a million copies in Australia alone.
