AC/DC Score Their Own Pinball Machine

AC/DC fans now have a pinball machine to call their own! Stern Pinball, Inc. has revealed its newest pinball machine, and the game honors the legendary rock and roll band with plenty of AC/DC-appropriate goodies.

The AC/DC pinball machine features 12 classic AC/DC chart-toppers, such as “Back in Black,” “Highway to Hell” and “You Shook Me All Night Long.” Other features include two individual ramps, a pinball-shooting cannon, eight drop targets and cartoon animations of band members.

“The combination of classic rock and pinball can’t go wrong," said Gary Stern, founder, CEO and chairman of Stern Pinball, in a release. “The music and play of the AC/DC machine delivers nothing less than the ultimate rock experience that both AC/DC fans and pinball players can appreciate.”

Sound like something that’s purpose-made for your game room? The AC/DC pinball machine runs from $5,699 to $8,499, depending on the version. To learn more about the game, visit Stern Pinball’s official website.

Pogues Score Britain’s Most Played Christmas Song

The Pogues’ raucous Christmas classic, “Fairytale of New York” has been officially declared the most played holiday song of the century in Britain.

The Daily Expressreports that the Shane McGowan/Kirsty MacColl duet has had more plays on radio, TV and the web since 2000 than any other Christmas track. Ironically, the song didn’t make it to #1 when first released, because the Pet Shop Boys’ “Always on My Mind” took the Christmas top slot in 1987.

Also in the Top 5, as compiled by music licensing organization PPL, were Wham!’s “Last Christmas” in second place, Mariah Carey's “All I Want for Christmas is You” at #3, Wizzards’s “I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday” at #4 and Band Aid's “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” at #5.
