AC/DC’s 1979 hit, Highway to Hell, has made it into the race for the United Kingdom’s Christmas #1 song. When the news was heard that Highway to Hell was in the race, it’s Facebook page gained over 100,000 likes in just four days. It looks like “Jingle Bells” has been pushed aside this year. It is not uncommon in the United Kingdom for Christmas #1 songs to be out of the ordinary and not holiday related. Good luck, AC/DC!
