What is the title of AC/DC's 1979 album that includes the song 'Highway to Hell'?

The story behind the answer

AC/DC's 1979 album that includes “Highway to Hell” is titled Highway to Hell. It was the band's sixth studio album and was released on 27 July 1979 by Albert Productions in Australia and Atlantic Records internationally.

The album was recorded at Roundhouse Studios in London between March and April 1979, with Robert John “Mutt” Lange as producer. Lange helped refine the band's compact, forceful sound, while the Young brothers and Bon Scott supplied much of the songwriting identity that defined this era.

“Highway to Hell” became the album's best-known track and one of AC/DC's signature songs. The album also includes “Touch Too Much,” “Shot Down in Flames” and “If You Want Blood (You've Got It).” Its title is sometimes confused with the song title alone, but both refer to the same phrase.

The record was Bon Scott's final AC/DC studio album. He died in February 1980, several months after its release. The album's success helped establish the band internationally and set the stage for 1980's Back in Black.
